..as i sit here shoveling out some more chicken gravy to the piglets I realize it is time for another exciting workout (also known as "chicken gravy--the upper body toner").. then I think of the FML and i realize i STILL have not thanked everyone for the great help and hints i received from everyone. I have confidence that my next attempt will go much smoother (and I will turn the meat grinder handle in the CORRECT direction this time. that will shave at LEAST 45 min off the timer. *sigh*) so here it is: THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR ALL THE HINTS!!! So many wrote to me with ideas and hints about serving size and i tried to get back to them all but ended up losing some of them. So thank you rebecca, pat andrews, kim of kista, fran, and so many others that sent me hints! Someone reminded me not to add the brewers yeast till after i re-heated and was about to serve. Good thing you reminded me b/c it was in my notes but i totally forgot! I would have had gravy all over me (which wouldn't have stopped keera in the least!) How does it make my guys feel? I think they are doing great! Keera is more outgoing and active. Bonnie and Clyde (two temps) put on some weight and filled out. Even fezzik likes it. I can't get them to eat chicken though. I even tried heating bits of chicken soaked in gravy for them. but they lick it all up and leave the chicken...maybe one day they will decide to eat it. a quick question: any one have a ferret that prefers it to all/most treats? Keera is a bit nuts for it and the others are following her lead. she would eat all of the others gravy and she got mighty plump!! now she is better about it but she is still the last one i can give it to b/c she eats it soo much quicker than the rest (if she could suck it though her nose she would) i will end now b/c i can go on forever trying to thank you so much for the hints! You guys made my guys so much better (and my arms a bit more tone from all that grinding..) :) meagan with keera, fezzik and haggis and the temps: bonnie and clyde [Posted in FML issue 2867]
