Hi All!

Not only do I paint dogs but I LOVE them too! Here are a couple pics of my Evan and Oliver. Thanks for looking!

Your babies are gorgeous! And I absolutely adore Max and Landry's portrait, you have totally captured the expression of each dog. Such talent!

Are the dog food recipes you're attempting to sell your own?

HipPocket · 08-03-2009

Not mine - but I cook for my wee Pocket as she started getting itchy legs for some reason. They take the guess work out of cooking for dogs and puppies and I'm not the most creative cook at the best of times!

Thank you. I will put some more pictures on soon. This forum thing is new to me.At first I thought it would be good for advertizing my pet portraits but it is also fun to share the joy of being a doggy daddy with everyone and to see all the beautiful dogs here. Thanks again for looking!

You're welcome, and isn't it great to "talk" with other dog owners - I have no physical contact at all with any other dogs/owners and I didn't realize how much I missed the sharing, the "showing off" and usual chat you get being a Doggy Mum (or dad!)

I've become somewhat of an expert by necessity. I've never trusted commercial dog food, having learned early on what actually goes into it. YUCK!!! I have a sort of baseline; if I wouldn't consider it fit for me to eat, it isn't fit for my girls to eat either. I home cook all of their "wet food" and give them a mix of Halo and Wellness for dry - one meal of each per day.

I tried to make my own kibble a couple of times...it was a disaster! If you ever find a good kibble recipe that actually works, I'd be very obliged if you'd share it. I'm more than happy to share the recipes that I've come up with that my girls enjoy!

I know what you mean about commercial dog food, I've done a bit of study on that just recently - I feed a mixture of homemade and commercial now. As for kibble recipes I'll have a look around!
