Well okay, they really just have to be eye candy :D

No swimming that morning, just dabbling water on the hour, and a steady stream of pea treats.

The pot had my homemade dog food that I was test marketing.

I was trying to make you smile when I asked if you were teaching them how to talk. That's my sense of humor, and there seems to be so little of it these day's.

So, you are making homemade dogfood too?
 
Yes,

Yes, it's evolved since I retired and don't have coworkers to take the bird innards. I hate to waste any part of animals I've raised, but I just can't stand the taste of liver etc. Before I got my Kangal Shepherd pup I could put pretty much anything out for the turkey vultures etc and it would be gone in the morning.

So now I'm using everything but the feathers, gall bladder, and gizzard lining. Even the heads and feet are made into stock, with the necks and the leftover bones after I eat the delicious parts.

I'm aiming for a 50/25/25% ratio of meat and blood/grains/veggies. I put oatmeal in the blood collection bowl when I bleed the birds out, which soaks it and makes it easier to work with. Also brown rice, and split peas and/or shredded carrots. I hand cut the liver, heart, and gizzard into roughly half inch chunks, and the rest go into the blender with the bloody oatmeal to make a paté. The birds skip dinner and breakfast (water only) before their journey to Freezer Camp, so there's not enough poop to worry about - and the dogs I know would prefer if it was included anyway, because they're GROSS!. 💩

I know what you mean. I had a neighbor before that used to have chicken's, and also had 2 of those smaller dog's. I would see them by that chicken coop. They never bothered the chicken's, and were just there to eat that poop.
