Lavender Oatmeal Soap

After a break for moving and various life experiences, we are back to making soap here on the farm.  Our first batch, Lavender Oatmeal, is in the mold.  I will pull it out tomorrow, cut it and then let it cure.  It will be ready for sale March 26th.  If you would like to reserve a bar, leave a comment below...:-)

Puppies Sold!!

All of the puppies from this litter are sold - will post when a new litter is available.  Keep watching for soap, essential oil candles, turkeys, pigs, chickens and eggs...

Feeding Dogs

While we are on the subject of selling puppies, I wanted to just post briefly about feeding dogs.  Dogs are carnivores - that means simply that God designed them to eat nothing but meat, bones and carcasses.  They are not omnivores,  needing to eat both meat and grains, but yet all dog food contains large amounts of grain, because its cheap and filling, not to mention other gross things depending on the quality of the dog food.  Disease rates among canines are increasing (just like in humans) - this is because we are not feeding them as God intended.

To keep your dog the healthiest (this is especially true for working dogs) feed them raw, meaty bones.  Eggs and milk are OK too but mainly raw, meaty bones.  We feed our dogs chicken legs, chicken thighs, pork necks and beef necks.  When we butcher animals on the farm, the dogs get the offal (organs, feet, etc...)  DON'T ever feed dogs cooked bones, they will splinter and choke the dog.  Your dog doesn't need great amounts either - we feed our large dogs one chicken leg or thigh in the morning and one pork or beef neck in the evening.  Their coats are shiny, they are full of energy and their manure is greatly reduced.

Now back to watching the puppies playing outside the window...:-)
