    A question for my friends in the USA,
    at the moment there are a lot of Pumpkins around and i would like to try Malaika with it, is it better for her cooked or raw?
    thanks in anticipation

    Shelley - I decided to get as many pumpkins as I can while they're available (in fact I was tempted to ask for the ones at Midland Counties show where they were in most of the rings!!). I'm cooking and freezing them as I'm not sure how they would freeze raw. I have to keep giving mine raw pieces while I'm preparing them for steaming - they love them!

    I have frozen cooked mashed pumpkin and never had any problems (including using it in my own cooking).

    Lol, this is what i am doing, getting them whilst i can.
    Malaika had some little chunks raw last night and i am going to cook and freeze the rest.
    She actualy helped herself to the lantern lid :D

    As a newbie to the breed, I appreciate that all of the information is contained in one spot. It is great to be able to get a broad range of opinions in one thread.

    oh, man, send me a piece. we're going to a friend's house, and i wasn't "required" to make dessert this year. I do think i'm going to make red velvet cupcakes for Digital's birthday (next month), not that he can have any, but i do like the red velvet cake and it'll be the last night of my control unleashed class, so there's that. anyway, that cheesecake is just delish!!!

    I will just add to what Petra said about finding the steel cut oats. You can find them in the Oatmeal section but also if you grocery store has a bulk section check there. It was significantly cheaper for me to buy from the bulk bins then to get the prepackaged section.

    @Shaye's: Really glad I checked this thread - I've always given Shaye cooked eggs because of the salmonella scare - wow - I'm sure it'll make her eat better if I can just break a whole egg in there from time to time. We have such a fear of raw anything we've never given our dog raw - except for veggies of course. Also the shells are good for them too

    @mauigirl: I spent quite some time at Carol Webb's when I was going around meeting breeders and we talked about feeding and giving raw meat. One thing I remember her saying is that it's important to not feed raw meat and dry kibble in the same meal because they get digested at different rates. In the future I will probably try giving Zip a handful of raw meals a week and see how she does. I'm not sure how I'd make that transition though. Right now she's doing fine on Innova. She is correct about the kibble and the raw meat..
