Just some pupdates (get it pups.. updates..lol).

So I dont have anything nutritionally constructive to deliver today because it's been little hectic the last few weeks with a new job and studying for finals. I have couple weeks of break before summer classes, so it was nice to have a day off yesterday and hang out with a friend instead of working, overdosing on caffeine and then racing to school and staying there until 10 pm.
Work is going pretty well, I'm getting more used to the routine and my boss is super happy with the changes I've implemented since the business has been steadily improving since I showed up.
I feel like I've been neglecting the dogs a little since I dont have as much time to walk them as I used to. They are staying with my parents during the day and then I take them for 2 walks after I get home.
I've incorporated more raw food into Indy's diet and his stomach seems to be handling it just fine right now. I got a bunch more expired raw from the store, mostly pre made instinct patties like organic chicken and buffalo, so I'm not complaining. The freezer is kind of stuffed right now, so I need to find a day to thaw out the bulk orders and portion them out to make more room.

We also got a big order of blue ridge beef today, half of it was special orders. I'm still on the fence about this company. I've heard some bad things (that they use 4-d meats), but so far I havent been able to find conclusive evidence to support it other than online rumors. This is what their website states:


1.       Blue Ridge Beef™ 100% pure natural meats and bones
2.       Fresh and flash frozen preserving amino acids and live digestive enzymes essential for healthy pets.
3.       No artificial ingredients.
4.       No gluten, grain or imported materials
5.       No preservatives or additives.
6.       No by-products, meals, organ fillers, color or taste additives.
7.       Protecting against bacteria, all of our facilities Utilize stainless steel equipment that is cleaned and sterilized between each product run and at the end of each day.

I do sincerely hope that they are not lying, but you just never know. The venison was super cheap, so I ordered a case for myself, along with duck and some natural mix (beef based grind with organ, tripe and bone). 

I rarely post pictures of the guys, so here are a few from tonight. They were trying to be cute because I had some turkey jerky.
