So happy your family is liking the girl,. MEL doesn’t eat much in the hot weather, they don't eat as much as a regular dog.....soon you will realize that she is a magnificent creature and not "just a dog" . Currently we have two dogs , a foster dog that got thrown out of vehicle and is recovering from surgery, and a magnificent creature named Mel
Wishing you a happy and safe evening, and no more pesty predators around your property , you will learn to sleep better knowing you have your girl guarding your animals and family

Thank you both. Good job being enablers all those who enabled. I think that was the right choice.

We use Victor dog food. Currently, the dogs are on a break, TSC dog food, Alpo I think. But before it gets cold, we will switch back to Victor. They stay healthy on it, PLUS the dog poop piles are MUCH smaller. The Cheap brands make big poop piles, not a problem when it is warm and the dung beetles break it up. But in the winter, who needs big poop piles? check for a distributer near you.

And because they are completely spoiled, when we take pigs or lambs to slaughter, I get the offal. I can it with rice, then my husband mixes it with the dog food. We have 3 big dogs and he splits a quart jar between the 3 of them. I also can chicken backs, necks, heart, gizzards and livers for the dogs.

I like the looks of that food. I'll visit their dealers. One of them is next to a grocery store we use about half an hour away. A couple of the others are in Nashua, which is the big city we are basically a suburb of. Then a few of the others are in cities I hunt for hay in. I may be able to find it. I've got time though, especially if she's only eating 4 cups of food a day.

Have a rescue that is staying here, she is six months old, was thrown out a vehicle. Front leg was going to be removed due to injurey but vet did surgury to try and save it...then while in recovery at vets, a larger dog attacked her and took off part of her ear and pierced her head with teeth... (her name is NOT Lucky) ....so the woman who has a small rescue took this dog, .....she just had back surgery three weeks ago and had nowhere or anyone to help this girl recover or teach her how to do basic commands. .....so she is here now for two months only...ONLY..... ( the healing is not going well, and I think the leg needs to be removed, but I am not going to bother the woman who is recovering from surgery about it yet. The dog is not in pain, but the leg is more of a hindrance than useful)
