Easter Candy and Popsicles

[AccountingDrone]

A dog or cat won't care if it's thigh or drumstick.

Ours get chicken necks. Or what our butcher calls 'carcasses' - basically the bones and attached scrappy meat that isn't worth their time taking off to sell separately.

As long as it's provided raw, it's great for their teeth - and they LOVE it. Even elderlycat goes at it with gusto.

We're just careful never to provide more than they can eat at one sitting, so it never stays out long enough to develop enough bacteria to be a problem.

(No, this is not their primary diet. It's a supplement: provides calcium, fun, and tooth-cleaning/gum massage.)

A buddy of mine who raises and butchers his own animals takes the carcasses and leftover bits that the humans don't eat and chops it up and freezes it in 1 pound bricks. So his dogs are getting the gut contents and assorted stuff that they would be getting if they were killing and randomly eating critters without human intervention.

When we finally get to the car (her weight, plus that of her groceries has overtaxed the cart battery)
