Great recipe! I will give this a try - thanks! Robert At 12:14 PM 12/18/2007, you wrote: <Snip> tender. <Snip> "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons." ~T.S. Eliot |
I will give this recipe to my wife. Our 2 long coat Chihuahuas are the best, most loving, enjoyable dogs I've ever known! And besides all that, they are litter box trained. That behavior is really a big plus when it's cold, hot, raining, snowing , muddy, etc. Oh - they do like to crunch the occasional roasted coffee bean that I drop. Dave Westerville, Ohio <Snip> |
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. where do you find the "skinless and boneless chicken thighs" I make my own food for my dog too but all I can find is the breasts (which are expensive) Dennis CSI Multimedia wrote: <Snip> |
there is a never ending isue with cooked v. raw food for dogs. About 6 years ago I switched to raw food for my dogs and it is amazing.

Good recipe. I don't use anything canned, though, because Emma is prone to seizures & I noticed that additives (and stress) trigger them. Our grocery stores have boneless & skinless chicken thighs, but they are too expensive. You can cook them in water, wait a day for them to cool (I remove the layer of fat because my dogs get sick from the excess fat), then add to a mixture. The resulting broth (I throw away the layer of fat there, too) is used for both them & us - lots of collagen in that for them, too. Sammy might be a long-haired chihuahua! He was a rescue, but purchased originally at a pet store, (he was abandoned at the animal hospital my daughter used to work at when she was a teen), so I figure he was a puppy mill dog. He looks somewhat like a Papillion, too. I will post some pictures on one of those photo sites, & post the link, when I get a chance. I love to cook and like Robert I never make a recipe the the same way twice. <Snip> Me, too! I consider cooking to be very much like painting (which I haven't done for many years). I love to cook in layers - I've made mole a couple of times, and while I don't spend days on it as some of the women in Mexico might do, I did spend a few wonderful hours creating it, with lots of spices and nuts and all - my problem was that I could take the spices, so I haven't made it since. It came out WONDERFUL, though... I love good mole... sigh.. Lynne |
Dennis, Sorry I am late piping in on this thread. They sell the skinless/boneless chicken thighs at the Commissary at both the Naval Station and at NAB Little Creek (right next to the chicken thighs with skin & bones). They also sell them at Costco, but the Commissary is less expensive.

HI; I apologize for interjecting here, however, I see something that is potentially very dangerous here and I have to comment. I must have missed the rest of this thread about dog food. I am not sure how this got started on the coffee list. I saw your recipe for dog food, and I may very well be missing something here, but I do not see any bones in your food. (bones must be raw to be safely eaten). It is absolutely essential to have bones or a substitute in your dogs diet to provide calcium / magnesiun. Long term you will cause serious harm to your dogs if you do not have bones or a proper substitute in there diet. Since this is so off topic for a coffee list, I highly encourage you to joint some of the dog feeding lists that I am involved with. Be warned they are busy lists, with nearly 10,000 people on the main list. Main: rawfeeding Secondary, more casual list: (lower volume of mail) rawchat I am on the above lists frequently. Anyone is always welcome to e-mail me as well with questions about feeding there pets. Warm Regards; Jamie Dolan <Snip> |
We got on this because the group is (as others have mentioned) like a coffeehouse experience - being human, we wander off topic now & then. I'm not sure who you are writing to, as many have contributed here. I never posted a recipe - maybe someone else did. I use ground up egg shells, but admit that I may need other supplements for them. I don't feed my dogs raw - don't feel that there is only one way to feed dogs, and many of the raw groups are like - well, some are almost religious in nature. Tried it a way back, and my dogs didn't thrive on it. I'm not opposed to it, just not convinced that it's the only way.. It's good you mentioned this, though - I forgot.

That is very, very good advice, both the bones and dog food list. Jamie Dolan wrote: <Snip> |
