I made the best batch of homemade dog food last night. Made a great breakfast for me.

And the dog.

That's right, I eat dog food. However, not just any dog food. Homemade, by me.

Doggie is on a diabetic diet. His and mine match, low carb high P.

1/2 lb ground turkey breast, 1/2 lb lean ground beef, one small onion finely minced, one 10 oz package Green Giant Mediterranean blend vegetables in rosemary and olive oil, finely chopped, one egg. Combine all, form patties, and fry, grill, or broil.

Had mine as a lettuce wrap with mayo and a couple of bread and butter pickle slices. He had his in a dog dish on the couch, laying down (I throw an old comforter on there).

You may consider trying these. Local gourmet market sells store-made patties that are identical, various meats and veggies, even salmon.

Rough life, eh, for the dog?

4. I dunno.

I've heard onions and mushrooms. Then the vet gave me a list of avoid foods and good foods for diabetes, and onions and garlic and mushrooms were on the ok list. I always gave it to them before I heard that without issues.

3. I used to have to cook for my hybrid.

She was half wolf the other have was German Shep. and Malamute.

She couldn't keep regular dog food down. Tried all the expensive 'natural' food, both wet and dry. She either wouldn't eat them or couldn't keep them down. Finally took her to the vet and he gave me a recipe. This was over 20 years ago, so I don't remember the whole thing, basically ground beef (sirloin, preferably) or chicken, rice, an egg and this vitamin powder stuff. It smelled horrible, but she loved it. He told me he had seen the same problem with other hybrids, so he was prepared.

My future ex-husband would complain that I cooked more for her than I did him. She deserved it.

She never begged or eat human food. She was always polite, though. If you tried to give her something, she'd gently take it, walk away with it, and then hide it under the couch.
