How does one feed a dog during tax time?

Well, one finds themselves the lucky recipient of a cow!

Cow?  During tax time???

Here is Lit' Bitte knowing she has died and went to heaven.  This is the 'doggie bath'.  It is 4' deep and 3' wide.  This hunk of meat is the cow's neck.  I have no idea how much it weighs other than it was hard to pick it up and felt like it was at least 30#'s.

This is a very happy and active dog!  My dogs have been turned loose on this neck for the past few days.  Believe it or not, Bitte eats her fill and walks away.  It's most likely *more* than I feed her typically in a sitting, but hey, she's happy and I get to work on taxes!

A few of my other dogs get the same pleasure.  Some think I'm crazy.  I mean, honestly.  I am expecting them to work for their dinner?  Pa-lease!

Getting to about 4 days from the first photo and we are pretty much at little meat and all bone.  This weighs about 6-8 #'s.

The newspaper is the Chicago Tribune, NOT the Chicago Sun Times, which is much smaller in page spance!  This is 4' wide and 2.5' deep and about 2' high.  I, uh, mistakenly, put this in my large chest freezer.  Separated w/ cardboard and plastic bags.  It still FROZE to itself into a solid mass.  Using a heat gun, hammer, screwdriver and my Navigator (power saw) I was able to remove three huge chunks, weighing 3-6#'s each off of this mass.

A friend and I were then able to pick this up and get it out of the freezer.  Hell, at 4 below ZERO who needs a freezer?

And here it will sit until weather returns to normal!  Lit' Bitte really, really wants to go into the garage...

... and while I really like the idea of over 400#s of free meat.. I do not want to deal w/ this again!  Well, at least not during tax season!
