Stumpy & Pablo
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
These two live together and came to visit Dancing Creek Farm. Stumpy is one of those specialty breeds, sort of a mix between a basset hound and shitzu. Very interesting look and a really sweet dog. Pablo is obvious a Chihuahua only about a 1 year and ADORABLE! They are both males. The video below is actually several clips combined. In the first part you can see Stumpy smiling. Its the funniest thing! You then see them looking out the screen door, their favorite past time, watching the roosters, hens and just checking everything out. You’ll then see Pablo stiff and looking like he’s crying when actually he LOVES sitting in the warm sun but its so bright and he also starts to get sleepy. I was spying on him on the back sun deck, sitting there and I saw him start to fall asleep, nodding out while sitting up! It was so funny. Sometimes the video camera isn’t there when you need it.

Goat Meat 4 Dogs - Low Fat, High Protein & Natural
Posted by tamara under: Dog Health.
If you can buy goat meat, even older goats and someone that processes it, you can feed your dogs goat meat. Its lower in fat then even chicken and higher in protein then beef! No kidding! Older goats are not sold as much due to the meat being more tough, however your dogs teeth can easily chew it and if you are having the goat processed you can request it all ground. After processing you can get your meat down to around 3.50 a pound.

Dog Food Issues- Please read
Posted by tamara under: Dog Health; News.
We’ve posted about dog food issues and the truth is that there are few foods that meet the needs of dogs and yet are healthy, natural and safe. Homemade dog food is the best route and even though you think its expensive and time consuming the reality is that your dog will live longer and your vet bills will go down so its a trade off. We all know the nightmares of commercial dog food and a simple search will show you that most are filled with ingredients that are unsafe for human consumption so why would you feed your dog this?

6 Steps to Successful Gardening- Grow your own food - Healthier & Save money- EASY
Posted by tamara under: Learn.
I first read the books by Dr. Mittleider when I was in Florida looking for a way to grow vegetables in an area that was challenged by sand. He spent a great deal of his career traveling to third world countries teaching them how to grow food for themselves in the worse conditions. Today I use his raised bed system and love it. Not only is it economical but very easy to do.
