Bigdog is sore. He injured his cruciate before Christmas, its not blown just weakened. I've been trying to feed him glucosamine, elk antler velvet and yucca but I'm better at recommending such things than following through with them. The shoemakers children don't get new shoes (or whatever that saying is).
Last night he went to run up the stairs to go outside and made it almost to the top when he slipped and fell down the entire staircase. Ouch. This morning wasn't quite as bad but he slipped again, at least I was closer and ready to catch him so he didn't fall the whole way. Not sure yet what I'm going to do with him tonight to prevent another slip.
So today we are cooking. I mixed his supplements, enough for a week, with some canned pheasant mush, oatmeal, brown rice flour and some applesauce and made a brownie-ish type loaf. Baked a little bit at low temp, not sure just how heat stable all the supplements are. Now its in the dehydrator to firm up a bit. They're pretty crumbly as is, I think next week I'll use oat flour rather than the oatmeal.
Indy approves. He enjoyed cleaning the bowls and the tin foil from the pan. We'll be experimenting with recipes to make these workable and usable. He's not arguing as long as he doesn't have to share.
