Feeding the babies

I have an 8 year old Saint Bernard, a 6 year old cranky momma cat, 2 of her boys who are 4 now, a beautiful long haired black stray cat that is 3 and a stray mutt that showed up last summer and belongs to DH ( yes, she is the one of the mulch fame, and the sweater fame which I have not told in here yet).

Used to they all got canned food for breakfast and then dry food in the evening. When they had all that scare about the pet food I took them off of the canned food and put them on home cooked food for breakfast andFlintRiverRanch food for dinner.

Their morning food is a mixture of boiled chicken, rice, and mixed vegetables. I start out by buying a whold chicken and boil it for about an hour and a half. Then I add the rice to the broth while I am letting the chicken cool enough to pull from the bone. When the rice is almost done I add the vegetables and let them cook then add the chicken and voila' we are ready for the week.

They all love it. The dogs just wolf it down and Belly one of cranky momma's boys would rather eat the chicken and rice as to eat his dry food.

How can you even suggest that my babies are spoiled! LOL, they are just very well loved.

  1. Yeah....I had a tough time finding a food that was SAFE and that my cats would EAT. I ended up trying only brands where I could reach a live person who could give me information about where the products were purchased and how the manufacturing was monitored. I still think there is going to be more fallout on this whole thing within the human food chain. It's still really playing out in CHINA!

    The Ring Checkers must have taken a long vacation with the holiday; still haven't gotten to you for approval :-(

  4. I'm so glad I read this. Now I know I'm not the only one that spoils her cats rotten. I've thought about making a similar meal for my cats and dog but hubby gets jealous if they eat better than he does!
