OMG, im so glad its over. are you?

Cooked bones are not good for any dog so I don't give them to Ally. I hope you got that bone away from her though. I was just thinking of split pea and ham soup, that would be so good right about now.

Yes I had enough of the holidays also knowing the fact that you can't go outside cause its either freezing or more snow on the way. Ordering something from a source between December and January gets annoying, cause you'll really have to wait if sended by standard mail. I know what you mean about the dog chewing on stuff, my sister dog likes to chew. Most dogs have this problem unless they're always trained to not chew on anything 24/7. So sad I can't touch no ham. I say no to pork.

I'm SO with you bunnybon!! I'm SO glad it's over! The holidays are gone for another year! I hate the time from Thanksgiving to New Years because of all the hustle and bustel going on because of people going nuts with their shopping escapades. I do enjoy the decorations that people put out but not the nut raving crowds that we have to put up with. As for Valentines Day, it's ok. Hubby and I will probably go out to dinner and that's about it. Frugal living at it's best. lol We have two German Shepherds that love to chew on anything that they get in their mouths. I mean, they chew on their bowls which is very hard plastic but there's teeth marks all around the top. The go into the woods and bring out branches that have fallen and chew on them. One will be two next month and the other is just over a year old so it's to be expected but gosh, the mess they leave behind for us to clean up. bleh

Ham for Thanksgiving, turkey for Christmas. We don't have a dog, so we had to eat the leftovers ourselves.

Oh go on about it. I wanted ham for either Thanksgiving(couldn't do that) or Christmas and it never happened. What you cooked sounds really good. Why did you take the bone away from the dog? Isnt it good for his teeth for him to chew on such things? If he can chew anything up I'm not sure where the problem lies. Are you sure the dog will be around a long time and be around after you're gone?

You forgot about the no matter how disgusting that it might be. Try as hard as I possibly can, I can not get our older and bigger dog to stay out of the trash can. When Paul, Lilliana and Kaylen were in diapers and I was babysitting the girls I swear that Michela would wait until I threw a diaper into the trash can so she could go get it and chew it up. It is so incredibly disgusting and let me tell you, that gel stuff in diapers is almost impossible to clean up.

Actually I cooked a big pot of chicken corn chowder potato soup. This Christmas was different around my house. I have some family members living with me, their stuff is piled up throughout my house. no place to sit and have company over. I usually make a big dinner with yummy ham for Christmas, not this year. I love the spiral honey glazed ham with the bone in it. The ham you get with the bone has more flavor, then you can use the bone and the meat left on it to make a big pot of soup, thats some good eatin. I am so glad the holidays are over with, it just wasn't good this year. Hopefully this next year is much better then last year.

i didn't do much for christmas this year... so it is already over for me the next day after... i don't like big parties... i always like everything small and simple... that way, i don't have to have lots of headache... i'm kind of glad that christmas is over as i don't like the crowd and also how businesses use this time to commercialise their businesses... take care and have a nice day...

The roomie's mom cooked ham and turkey for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I ate turkey. The roomie got both, but I don't mix my meats because of my food allergies and rotating my meats (I'm supposed to rotate everything, but meat seems the worst of what I do eat, the few veggies I have real problems with I just avoid.)

i don't mind the holidays so much as the commercialism. especially christmas.it gets really irritating 30 days in. i look more forward to cooking anyway. we usually get turkey,ham is more of an easter thing.my family's set in what they want,so if i changed it they'd grump. no dogs here,but the kitties usually get a good portion of whatever we're having.

My dogs would chew bones all day but I don't let them have any. They can splinter and injure them internally! Still, people who see commercials and remember the old cartoons think that bones are harmless to dogs. I feed mine bully sticks. They last hours, sometimes a couple of days. Good for the teeth and gums, totally natural and digestible (unlike rawhide) and they love them! I've found that they also keep puppies from chewing that they aren't supposed to.

I am glad that the holidays is over, as well. The Christmas holidays are a stressful period of time. A period that I'm not always fond of. I'm always glad when this period of the year is over. I feel relieved when it is. A lot less pressure when this is over, which is always nice.

I give my dog a bone every once in awhile. I don't think it hurts them. U are just a 'mother hen' when it comes to coca, lol. I didn't cook a ham or a turkey for chtistmas & i missed having them. Noone was coming Christmas day so i had leftover lasagna I made CVhristmas eve.

I love HAM! It's the best Christmas food for me. We don't have turkey for Christmas, so It's just usually the ham. Here in my country, people give ham to others. So we have commercialized ham which are round or pear shaped. These are already cured (and probably has a lot of extenders, but it's still yummy! Even better than some hams that are whole meat). They taste sweet and salty. There are of course traditional hams that are smoked in ham nets, and still has the bone in it! Yum! It doesn't taste as good as the commercial ham because you still need to add a little flavor in it. The meat isn't as tender, but, you are sure that it's whole meat and doesn't have a lot of preservatives.

Oh, I am not quite done with Christmas. We did get a ham, and it was yummy. I have put some in the freezer for later. I will make my beans soon. I made ham salad out of some of it, and sandwiches were good as well. I am mainly trying to clean and organize a lot of stuff now. Have a great evening and watch out for your dog.

hi bunnybon we had ham and sweet p otatoes for New yearsl oh Christmas they went all out with chicken condon blu and dressing and salads and pumpkin pie and cranberries I was so glad no turkey as we get fed that at least once a week and I am not really fond of turkey chicken or ham are my favories. I was just rememberin the tail of the beef tongue. My husband was found of beef tongue so I had cooked it and pyut it on the dining room table to cook before slicing it. My mom phoned me and I w as engrossed in talking to her and I never noticed my dog Swap. all of a sudden I looked through the pass through and Swap had managed to get the edge of the table clothe and now he had my tongue. I yelled"No drop my tongue.ouch will you let go" and ran over and pulled it out of his mouth. Now I had a decision to make throw the whole thing out or just what he had his mouth around. I qui ckly cut the part off my dog had touchedc and put the tongue back in the pot and turned it back on to heat up and kill any bacteria. then I grab bed the phone. My mom said "ARe you okay, did you hurt your tongue badly? " I laughed and told her about the dog and the whole tongue. My son and my husband never did hear about it as I did not want to put them off eating their dinner lo l loll Yes I am glad the holidays are over now. Valentines day never means much to me anymore as I am a widow so nobody to buy a valentine for anymore. I do get valentine candy for my low sugar cache but I only eat it if my blood sugar is low. I never got flowers for valentines but always a b oc of sees which I loved but was not good for me as I could not resist and a lo vely valentine from my husband and my son. Myhusband could not get the idea of women loving flowers lol so he would get me a potted plant and really that was wonderful as I could have them as house plants or flower garden plants.
