I just thought you all should know, Bo is no longer a vegetarian.
I keep the kids meat free until abut 1, you know when they have teeth enough to chew it because that meat slurry in a jar scares the tar out of me (though at this pace, Bo won’t have enough teeth by 3).
ahem, sorry for the aside but i just needed to express exactly how much jarred meat skeeves me.
So, this weekend, we were offloading some left over dog biscuits and someone left the box within wittle Bo Bo’s reach. Sure enough, we found him noshing on doggie treats. Apparently the liver ones were meh but the chicken flavor ones were worth body slamming his cousin for.
My son’s first meat was a dog biscuit.
I’m having some trouble wrapping my brain around that one, but yet it is much less gross then the gloppy whirred jar meat.
I used to eat dog biscuits when I was a kid. Me and my friend Jen would go into my Gramma’s basement and dare each other to eat the rudest stuff we could find. I also drank white vinegar out of the bottle and ate shifty-looking preserves. Lucky I didn’t get botulism. Maybe all that childhood “fun” was why I became a vegetarian foodie. That dog food just wasn’t that tasty….

shifty looking preserves? I did not realize people preserved things until I was like 8. I was flabbergasted when my grandma up north was all, I made these preserves.
Thats hilarious!! I catch Lil’ Buddy eating cat food from time to time… as much as I try and keep him away, its just irresistable to him….
Meat in a jar.. blech…

That cracked me up. What a great story to taunt him with when he is older!
I agree. Never even attempted to give my baby jarred puree meat. Ewe! I think I would rather eat a dog biscuit too.

Eweeeeey. That is gross but totally funny. I guess it is no worse than my kids wanting to eat dry cat food for their first year of life. Then there is one of the neighbors (Wyatt’s cousin) who when he was 2, I yelled at him for eating dog food and dragged him from the bowl, whence he proceeded to have a 15 minute hissy-crying fit that I would not let him eat kibble. Happy times.
Meat in a Jar doesn’t even sound good.. Then when you see (much less smell) it you uuugh I can’t even type for fear of barfing… On an up note depending on what brand and type of dog biscuits they might actually be yummy… I’m just saying some taste better than others… I use to be a vet tech and well we find these things out… *shudders at flash back*

Gonna have to second that one Brooke. Was a Vet Tech for 10 ys. I have tasted almost every type of food and medicine out there. Occasionally it was intentional. Most of the time…… not so much.
I am certain that I would rather eat a dog biscuit than the jarred meat. Or eaven the baby food meat sticks. Or my mom’s home-made meat loaf.
They wouldn’t even need to be good dog biscuits. I just hate meat loaf that much!
AtHomeDaddy’s last blog post..No, really. How do you REALLY do it?
My kids always eat my mom’s dog’s food when they are crawling age. Some of them try it, don’t like it and stay away from it. Other’s (I’m not mentioning any names..MAXINE) enjoyed it very much. I considered giving it to her as a snack several times because it was so hard to get her to eat anything else…decided against that.
OMG! That is too funny! My parents tell me that I used to eat the dog’s food when I was little. Unfortunately, I have caught Ember eating cat food! BLECH!!!! And, BTW, on my month long journey away from blogging, I have missed reading yours!

That is so funny. I understand it is very safe though. And the jarred meat, well that is just gross.

I used to eat dried cat food. Which is better than dried cat turds, if only slightly. For some reason, my mother didn’t stop me. Perhaps she hated me.

I tried feeding Missy that jarred meat once. I opened the jar and it stank so bad that I threw it out before I even put the spoon in the jar. And it wasn’t even expired. It reminds me of rancid cat food.
I have a picture of my oldest son noshing on cat food. Yes, I took a picture instead of removing him from the bowl. Ahhh, good time.
LOL That’s funny. I ate dog biscuits too. When my daughter was at the crawling stage she found a nylon dog chew bone and she was also at the teething stage so we found her gnawing on it LOL.

Did I ever tell you I was teethed on milkbones?
Whenever the dog got one I would steal it from her, and she would growl at me. Then she would get in trouble for it, which made my mom feel really bad since it WAS her treat. So she just started giving us each one! She also liked that they didn’t make a mess.
Gross, gross, gross.

OMG BWHAHAHAH That is awesome, in a grody kind of way
Just found your blog fidget and I must say, I am with you. Slurred meat in a jar is WAY more frightening than a dog biscuit (although I am not really sure I would call that “meat” either).
