The Posse Hideout

[Drottwiler]

I'd love to have a camper again. But weighing the prows and coms. We'd need to buy a bigger truck and a camper. Or we could go the motorhome route. But then we'd have to tow trailer a car. Storage when not in use. The biggest problem most campgrounds don't allow certain breeds of dogs which I have one of. We love camping 25 years ago.

Memories. F150 hubby behind the wheel Chauncey Von sitting beside him then me with COPYRIGHTDMCA on my lap. Hubby grumbling the dogs could ride in the camper.

There are pretty lightweight campers out there now. And super deals on used ones. We have a 5th wheel, it will be our retirement house eventually. We didn't go the motorhome route because they are so darn expensive, and the tow car part. We haven't run into any campgrounds that forbid rotties, but quite a few now forbid pits due to their insurance companies. And one place wouldn't allow Victor, they only take dogs under 20#. As the people with the little dogs are the ones that are most guilty of not picking up after them, we were happy to move on to the next place. State and Fed campgrounds rock, and are cheap. I love going camping, it's relaxing and fun.

Just as an FYI, supposedly the state parks are offering free admission this weekend!

Ran across this. Made me think of my Rotties.

Bwahahahahaha!!!! sorry Bamrz.

S'OK, my Rotties both had wicked farts, and Xena did too until I found a dog food that worked for her! Blue Buffalo Wilderness, no grain. She gets bison, alligator, salmon and a couple others. It would be WAY too pricey to feed to bigger dogs, but her and Raggy only eat about 1/4 cup twice a day.

With the Rotties it wasn't the food that was a problem, it was when I added table scraps and/or gravy - the GARLIC was what could chase you out of the room!

Victor finally stopped farting when I stopped feeding him commercial dog food. He was better on the SoJo's but it's too expensive. So I just feed him myself now, it's cheaper and he's healthier. His ears never need to be cleaned anymore and he's not stinky.

 

[Bamrz]

I'd be so nervous feeding my doggies (or kitties) anything that I made instead of the commercially available stuff. How do you know what to include in there??

 

[FlyingV]

I would be afraid to feed kitties home made food, but am okay with doing what I'm doing for Victor. He gets a balance of meat, veggies, eggs and things like sweet potatoes. He gets big raw bones for added calcium. He had his checkup and rabies shot today, the vet said he's doing fabulous and his weight is good at 75#.

And you know what's in food that you make, no worries about recalls and stuff.

 

[Drottwiler]

Grain free here for 5 years now no more farts and the girls are doing great.

Good morning all.

Sticky Bacon Biscuits
added by Christine Schnepp

A recipe I found and simplified by using canned biscuits. My family loves this treat at the breakfast table. I also make it when we have over night company. Enjoy!


Ingredients
1 canned biscuit
2 cups bacon; cooked
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tbsp melted butter
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a round pan. Syrup: Chop the cooked bacon into pieces. Combine the bacon with the remaining syrup ingredients, stirring until well combined. Spread in the bottom of the prepared pan. Place biscuits on top. Bake the biscuits for 10-15 minutes, until they’re golden brown. Remove the biscuits from the oven, and immediately turn the pan over onto a serving plate. Lift off the pan, and scrape any syrup left in the pan onto the biscuits. Pull biscuits apart to serve.

Good morning all. TSC day

 

[FlyingV]

Good morning! So far I've done a whole lot of nothing today. Mr. V is sleeping, so I'm just hanging out reading. I'll get stuff done later on.

It's 50 out and the snow is melting.

 

[Drottwiler]

Yea for 50s. Were in the 60s so getting a bunch of outside odds and ends done. Doesn't look like I made a dent in it. Body started to give out so not much mores getting done today.
