You mean zoomies? Misty, Kiba, and Wolf do all the time!

I LOVE WATCHING ZOOMIES.

It's the most hilarious thing ever, Piper does it in the backyard and she just tears up the grass flying down the hill and up it again. Absolutely hilarious.
Or at the dog park, when she runs around the entire middle section like three times and then just plops on the ground.

"Daily feeding directions: 1 teaspoon per 10 pounds 1 tablespoon per 30 pounds Introduce slowly starting with ¼ the recommended dosage and feeding in divided doses."

And if you really do want to consider it, mypetcarnivore has decent prices on raw and ships to your home. I'm not sure what the shipping price is as it varies depending on where you are.


Oh they aren't picky at all lol! Should I start Chew on it too? His coat is fine, just kinda full. (His only bald spots are around his eyes and on his forehead. (Not sure why he has two small bald spots on his forehead.... It's in the same place as he once had a wound though.)

I'll check with mypetcarnivore! I'm just not sure if my parents are willing to let me switch both to raw. And to be honest, the meat to bone to organ ratio confuses me... (Plus the whole different meats confuses me a lot too)


And here are some more pics of my monsters. (What do y'all think about Princess' confo? And weight?)

Can't hurt! Coconut oil is great for them ^_^


As far as the bone/organ/muscle ratio stuff, it's not anywhere near as bad as it sounds once you get into it. It's much easier if you have a raw friend to show you their process. And honestly, you don't have to keep that ratio exact, it will depend on the dog. Like Dakota, I feed him a slightly higher bone content. The recommended ratio (10%) causes him to have loose stool. You just get a feel for your dogs over time, I don't measure out anything anymore.

She looks like she's at a good pet weight! Maybe could use a little bit more tuck up, but did she recently eat because she just looks full to me.

Structure wise, hard to tell too much at that angle. (best to be totally level with them). She has nice feet, her shoulders look a bit forward and could use more angulation. Her stifles are very straight, she could use a lot more turn in them (aka her knees), and could use more rear anglation too.

I may have to see if I can find someone once we move to give me a hand with the raw then! Thanks!

As for Princess, I'm not sure if she had just eaten or not. Probably though. I took that picture awhile ago (she's a bit more muscled now)

I wish I could actually get a decent stacked shot, but she refuses to behave lol. That's the best one I've gotten, and I'm pretty sure the only reason she stopped moving in that position is because she was staring at a bird...

She moves really well, and I think she is pretty well built for a mix of her breeds lol.

Dogs who burrow are the cutest. Loli slept under the blankets the majority of the time and would be determined to be under them even if it was really too hot.

Pretty much my view of her the majority of the time when I wasn't actively doing something with her. (The pink blanket you see in this picture was her special blanket)

Some more:
"Sara, it is much too cold."
melting into a blanket
Bonus of her with my pillow while the majority of the blankets were in the wash

(And, yes, I have a ton of blankets.)

She burrowed so much and so often that she even had one of those special beds for dogs just like her.
