After the Snow & Eggshell Calcium

 I'm  happy to report the westies have become use to

the geese in the yard.  I find that amazing!

The bird seed is blended with cracked corn so I'm guessing

this part of the reason the geese are here. 

 Wilson has a few amazing pictures of the geese

landing.  He took them with his new lens.

 View out the front door.  We had a 'local' ring the doorbell and offer

to plow out the driveway and walkway.  Wasn't cheap but it

was worth it.

Boiling Eggshells to make 

EGGSHELL CALCIUM

One of the most important things [besides Omega 3] to add

to your pets diet is calcium.  On my Facebook group page 

WESTIES HEALTH -- FROM EARS TO TAIL 

I recommend to members [especially those that have new

puppies] is to add calcium to the diet.  This is especially important

if you are home cooking for your pet.  A simple way to

make your own calcium is to ... save your eggshells!

The Recipe is Pretty Simple

Wash the shells and let them sit on the counter

until you have enough.  Bring a pot of water to a boil then

place the shells in the water for approximately 10 minutes.  This

kills any leftover bacteria.  Remove shells from the water and

let them sit for 24 hours on the counter. 

The Next Day

Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees.   Place the shells

on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes.  

It's Time to Grind

Use a coffee grinder to pulverized the shells

into a granular form.  Note:  If shells are not ground into this 

fine powder form they will not absorb in your

pets system.  Store in a sealed jar.  

Next Step

Add a small amount to the food bowl once a day.
