Gracie will never be food, unless she doesn't stop trying to follow me into the house...and right into the waiting mouth of my GSDs.

Absolutely I name my food!! Doesn't everything deserve a name?? You eat tomatos or broccoli, those are names. I raised lambs for meat and they all had names, "Joe Dinner" was the last one I remember. Raised calves too. Two names I remember were, "Porter" and "Sir Loin". Raised pigs too, "Bacon Bits", "Oink", "Petunia", "Guido", "*#*@&%****!!!" and more. Seems it made it surprisingly easier for the kids to eat too. When my Son was barely four, we sat down to eat our lamb dinner. "Mom, is this Joe Dinner?" Yes, it is, he has done his job well, good Joe. "Well, Joe Dinner sure is gooood!" My Mother, rest her soul, was a city gal. When she came to visit me in the country, I had fattened a cockeral out for dinner. "Oh! How can you look into their little eyes, then eat them??" She promptly went to town and bought a scroungy looking, packaged bird for dinner. "Hmm, guess that one didn't have little eyes, hey Mom??" Bless her heart, unless it came from a can or a plastic container, it wasn't "pure". ????????????? They always did think I was a "different breed"! Guess they were right..

Actually these cornish Xs are rescues from the commercial houses. They won't be eaten, but I do eat meat including chicken. These guys I just had the time and inclination to allow them to have a longer life. Grace I'm really rooting for. She's such a sweetheart. These meaties have been both heartbreaking to me (some of them are afraid to be outside, at all), but they've also been a huge blessing.
