Dehydrated liver treats? Sounds yummy, right?

Jesse and I have been going back and forth whether or not to keep Luca because let’s face it, Luca’s a little crazy.  When people come over he jumps all over them whereas Benny gets really excited as well but then very quickly goes and lies down.  Luca nips at our hands while walking past, and he’s not great in the car (Benny has his issues too; face biting, anyone?).  But how can I get rid of Luca when he gives me this face?

So I’ve decided I need to start working with the dogs again.  So far I’m using up the leftover treats we bought when the dogs were wee puppies but I’ll soon be out of that.  I was trying to think of other things we can train them with.  I’ve thought of very small pieces of cheese; should be easy enough and we have a cheddar cheese block to use.  We can boil up some chicken breast and cube/shred it.  It also occurred to me that I can dehydrate liver in our new dehydrator!  There is a butcher facility not too far from my work where we got our organs last time and I do need to reorder.  I can just order extra liver and cube into small pieces and dehydrate those!  I’m pretty happy about this because I would like to get more organ meat into the dogs and this way the treats should be long-lasting, unlike the shredded chicken or the cheese.

We bought Ezra some finger paints on Amazon and let him try them out last night.  He didn’t *quite* have the hang of how it should work.  Jesse put blobs of paint on the right side of the sheet of paper and Ez basically just ran his whole hand over the blobs to mix up the colors and then slapped his hand on the sheet to make splatters.  It was kind of a mess but I did like the finished product.

Ezra’s finger painting; it’s hanging upside down to dry.  The hand print slaps that have the green at the top (which would technically be the bottom), he kept calling those prints “flamingos”.

We had him naked while painting because he already had no bottoms on and we didn’t want to stain the shirt even though the paints are supposed to be washable (we need to get a painting smock for him).  By the end of the painting time he was fairly colorful so we put him in a bath.  We had also purchased some bath color tablets and he thought those were pretty neat.

They have pretty good saturation and Ezra liked the fizziness aspect of them, he called them volcanoes.  Of course, I could probably make something similar at home, but I get lazy after a certain point, you know?  I was going to buy bath crayons as well, but apparently those *are* easy to make, so I will look up a recipe and see what’s what.  We’re trying to find anything to make bath time more fun.  He enjoys himself once he’s in the tub, but resists the idea of a bath when he’s not actually in the water.

Our chickens are giving us about four eggs a day, according to Jesse.  Velvet is going to get her own chicks this year so while she’ll probably take some eggs off our hands until summer, we will still have more than enough for the next couple months.  Here comes more quiche, yum!  We make awesome quiche.

I got some milk kefir grain and have been working to rehydrate them and transfer them onto raw milk, but it’s turning into more of a process than I feel it should be.  Probably because I keep trying to rush the process.  In any event I’ll probably try to get some extra grains from someone who already has them acclimated to raw milk.  I want to try that milk kefir!  I’m giving the dogs the cultured milk at this stage because it’s not the quality of kefir I want and the pups appear to enjoy it very much.  The cats, not so much.  Fingers crossed I can finally get it right!

  1. Love the finger painting! I can make a smock for him or you can pick a shirt that you don’t want and let him wear that! With the dogs another treat, some people use hotdogs. And I would definitely squeeze in as much training as you can before the baby comes, because the dogs may end up too excited for you to leave the baby on the floor or couch. (Just a grandma worrying so take what you want from it). I hope you are feeling well. I can’t believe you in your last trimester already! Hug that big boy for me, love you all!
