Sure, it wasn't you, was it, Princess?
The dogs always get something raw with kibble for dinner. I went to the shops last week, and they had chicken livers and chicken necks. I decided to get both even though the dogs hadn't had liver before. I put one liver each in their bowls, as well as 4 chicken necks and a cup of kibble. I fed Barbie in her crate as usual, and Bender in the kitchen/dining area as usual. I noticed Bender licked all the kibble off his chicken liver. He didn't think it was edible, so he left it in his bowl.
Barbie sauntered in and took the chicken liver from his bowl and ate it on her bed. She was keeping an eye on Bender all the time to make sure he wasn't going to attack her for taking it. She seemed to enjoy it very much.
The next day, I opened the front door and could smell something slightly bad. I thought I could smell the kitty tray, sometimes the house gets a bit musty and stinky when it is shut up all day. I let the dogs in, wheeled in my bike and then went to go to the bathroom, when I found a poo explosion. It was almost entirely liquid and was spattered on the walls. I was glad that she chose to do it in the bathroom - made it much easier to clean.
When I was cleaning it up, I thought, after having dogs having kids must be a breeze. For all the disgusting things dogs leave for you to clean up, kids cannot be much worse.
In other news, I made the following greyhound adoption PSA last night. It puts a couple of Barbie's tricks into use and I think is pretty cute. Hope you like it and feel free to share it.
Also, if you are after any copyright-free classical music, I found this awesome website called musopen. Check it out.

I'm actually really starting to enjoy making videos and starting to appreciate how much thought and time goes into good ones!

Barbie's funny, I think it's taken me a while to drum it into her that you can't just go to the toilet anywhere, and now she is considerate enough to use the tiled room to explode in!

When we were swapping to raw, there were a lot of vets I spoke to who didn't believe in "mixing" the 2 types of diets. They said this is when people often have problems with "going raw" - because the dogs' stomachs have to have different acids & enzymes, etc for digesting raw meat, etc. Vs. digesting grain and so if you keep inter-changing, it upsets the balance - they can never settle on one type - and so they get diarrhoea, etc. So they believe it is better to go cold turkey when you're swapping and then stick to one or the other. That's what we did with Honey. But having said that, I know a lot of people who feed a combination of the 2 and manage OK - I guess it all depends on the dog. We tend to feed primarily raw but we do give HOney a bit of cooked wholegrains (eg, brown rice) with her evening meal. But the amount is very small in comparison to her raw portions so her diet is still raw meaty bones-based rather than "grain-based".
Anyway, hope it doesn't happen again!

I've been mixing diets for the 5 years I've had Bender and have never had any issues. The only issue Bender has is if you suddenly change the type of kibble. Dentabones always upset Bender's stomach, but apart from that I really haven't had any trouble.

Is Barbie waving or raising her hand to admit to the splatter?
