We seem to be off on a grand adventure in July, off and away to Colorado where we've accepted a job offer.  We're very excite and very nervous, I'm just a anxiety filled mother of 2 but my husband grew up here and has lived here most of his life.  I've lived in NY, NJ, NM and AZ so I'm not as freaked out about the environment (country living) as much as I am making sure we're able to support our family up there. 

I'm looking forward to skiing again (I haven't done that since the 90's) and growing my own veggies, living in the woods and just finally having that space I love so much.

I'm finally getting out of the desert.

I've decided to start making our pets food myself.  We have been watching the turn of events with the pet foods the last few weeks and we're so very upset with the realization that given the perfect health of 2 of our cats and their sudden rapid deaths, that they most likely were victims of this pet food situation.  we are now left with 3 dogs that have finally stopped being physically sick to their stomachs and 2 cats 1 healthy  and one the product of Iams recall situation, our poor ash is now stuck on insulin for the rest of his life.  Here I was buying them what I thought was the best food I could and look what happens.  I feel badly for my cat Kat, she became sick and I tried to make her better and let her have as much wet food as she wanted. 

So now I have decided that to keep the pets of this family safe I need to take care of them like I take care of us.  Fresh natural foods not from a can. 

So if anyone has any helpful tips on good recipes for pet food please let me know.
