Bichon Puppies on June 23

Bichon puppies born 6/23. We have 6 pups…..3 girls, 3 boys

I know you are dying to see these adorable babes. 

Poor Chana is exhausted – she has been on puppy alert with little to no sleep for 5 days (AND she has three small children)

A special Thank You to Chana!!!! Thanks so much to you and your years of experience with the birthing process. The animals are in GREAT hands and we all look forward to seeing more pix.

These were two of the Bichon’s that Yvette got from a breeder that was going out of business and basically was going to leave these animals behind.

Here is the mother of the Bichon puppies…..

Make Homemade Dog Food

Sometimes the dog food you buy in stores are not safe and to be on the safe side you will want to feed your dog homemade dog food. Should that ever be the case, all that is required is a simple mix of meat, vegetables and starches.

Instructions:

Step 1: Know that it is wise to check with your vet before switching to homemade dog food.

Step 2: Understand that dogs need a diet that consists of 40 percent meat, 30 percent vegetables and 30 percent starch. Follow this formula to ensure that your dog has a well-balanced diet.

Step 3: Consider the fact that many experts believe commercial dog food is actually unhealthy for dogs. Often the meat that is used in dog food is of a quality considered unfit for humans.

Step 4: Try making a mixture of ground turkey, rice and carrot for your own dog food. Meals made of ground beef, brown rice, brewer’s yeast and carrots are also popular.
