I was so happy this afternoon. I came back from my fabulous local butchers with an incredible amount of meat and bones for Daisy, enough to feed her for a month, all for 8 pounds! Started to unpack it and bag into portions when I discovered the lamb breast bones had just been cut into two large pieces rather than small portions of two bones. Oh well, I thought, they were free, I can do this. I got my biggest knife out and a hack saw
and set about cutting them up ( Saturday job in a butchers
). I was quite exhausted when i had finished but was so pleased with everything I had I felt very happy. That was until I went to wash up and saw that some small parts of the knife blade seemed to have broken off! I was horrified as the only place the pieces of blade could be was in the bones!
I closely examined every lamb bone but only found two small pieces of the broken metal. I just couldn't chance Daisy's health, the thought of her biting it or swallowing it was too much to think about so I had to throw all if the lamb away!
I was gutted but not half as upset as I would have been if I'd not noticed! I think I am going to order a meat cleaver!
On the plus side, Daisy had her first heart tonight and loved it!
