I'm a firm believer in good quality nutrition for dogs.  For many years, I prepared all of my pack's food from scratch.  Home-cooking is a wonderful yet time-consuming undertaking when it comes to balancing nutrients and rotating proteins and vegetables.

I spent every other weekend grocery shopping on Saturday then spent Sunday slicing, dicing, and grinding my creations.  I calculated every calorie and kept all of my dogs in good health until ripe old ages.  When I get on the scale every so often, I'm glaringly reminded I should be counting every calorie for myself. But I digress...
