Cooking for your cocker

[EmmaA]

Hi

I think I am going a bit too far now. I have made a cottage pie for dinner and purposefully didn't put any onions (which I love) in it so Eric can have the left over mince. Does anyone else change there recipes to make them cocker friendly?

[Jan/Billy]

Sometimes.


I make lots of soups and often take some out for Billy before I add salt & pepper !

It is a rarity for my OH to cook anything, but today I came home from work and he had done a variety of recipes for kongs for Alfie. 

So yes, the liitle blighters have an effect on us all, even miserable, lazy OH's. 

I love him really.  but yes I am cooking dinner tonight for us.

How nice that your OH cooked his heart out for Alfie and left you out 

[Countrygirl]

Oh definitely.  I no longer put salt in vegetables when they are cooking so Ellie can have some with her dinner and I add salt to scrambled egg only after I have put a little bit to one side to cool for her.

I absolutely hate liver and have always refused to have it in the house......along come two furry friends and I find myself baking liver bread and chunks of liver for healthy treats

Not cooking for them but some of the revolting things I find myself chopping up for them (they're on Barf). I think the worst was the first time I bought a rabbit home from the butcher last Autumn and was thinking "ooh great, all the innards as well, that'll make a couple of nice offal meals for them", and then found myself holding something the size of the end of my thumb and quite hard, and wondered what it was. Then I realised - it was the poor bunny's cold heart... I used to have a couple of dwarf house rabbits years back and couldn't help thinking of them.

Still, the dogs enjoyed it - half each for a snack

I had left some mince to defrost in fridge for a lasgne, came home and OH had it browned, and in dog bowls on window sill to cool, I asked what the h**l he'd done that for, oh I thought it might have been out of date??  MEN!  We ended up having super noodles on toast!

We always cook up extra vegetables so Tia can have some with her tea. We also bought a food processor (cheap one mind) so we could whizz up treats and kong stuffings    I do draw the line at liver though, OH has to prepare this cos it makes me gag

  Sounds like my house.  Mind you my OH would rather give me the outta date stuff than Alfie.

    I still can't quite beleive that I have taught myself to skin/gut rabbits for my two; and I find myself asking various random acquaintances whether they know anyone who shoots rabbits

Millomite who has Amber on here has a new website with detailed instructions and pics on how to prepare a rabbit and yes, I found myself thinking - Ohh, I can do that for Wherry. Also, the amazing butchers my Mum has on her road have so amny offel products, I was looking at a pile of what I can only describe as 'innerds' and thinking the same thing.   

I must say I don't change recipies for her but I do make things specifically for her that I wouldn't go to the effort for myself. Her liver has often become OH's after he's moaned he never gets it just her. (That's alright though, cheap dinner  0

My OH is quite put out that in 22 yrs of marriage I have always refused to cook liver for tea, but recently have started to make livercake for Millie.   

[flyingspaniel]

I baked liver cake & pilchard cake on Sunday - the OH was banished to the garden and even I had to leave the house for some air!
I did suggest that I'd have to bake us a cake one day otherwise my dog will think the food processor belongs to her, not sure if I can do chocolate cake though..
