The
seasons are starting to change, and that's
always a good time to do a cleanse. Two of
the best things I know for doing this are
fresh beets and parsley.
Beets
are a natural liver and blood detoxifier.
They are great for providing a nice
overall health tonic - for people and for
dogs. (Come on - you know you love your
beets!)
Likewise,
fresh parsley is excellent for flushing
out toxins and providing healthy energy.
It also has natural chlorophyll to combat
bad breath. Does that mean I've solved the
canine bad breath mystery? I wish!
HA!

INTO THE POT!
__________
Today
we got out our big stock pot and loaded it
up. I used 2 pounds of ground beef, one
full bunch of raw beets, including the
greens! Just chop them up and throw them
in. Some fresh chopped parsley.
Gingerroot. Garlic. And some brown rice.
Add water and bring to a boil, then turn
down the heat and let it simmer for 45
minutes. I do this in the morning and then
give it the day to cool, so the dogs don't
burn their tongues at dinner.
This
meal looks weird when it's done because
the rice turns a beautiful shade of pink.
COOL!
But
be careful when you feed this meal. Often
times it tends to 'push' accumulated
toxins out of the dogs body. Make sure you
provide extra water and you might want to
take them outside a couple of extra times
during the night.
