Kacang: the Balifornia Dog - Adventures of Carlienne

Hi guys! My name is Kacang (“kah-chung”) which means peanut in Bahasa. Because I’m from Bali, Indonesia and now live in California – I’m literally a Balifornia dog! I got stuck with my parents when my original rescuers Dana and Jean Mario noticed me in bad shape and volunteered to take me to a vet, but they already had 3 puppers so they couldn’t also take me on. Long story short (2 months and 2 plane rides later), I’m the latest member of the Adventures of Carlienne family. California’s not bad and at least the food’s pretty good here.

Kacang’s Favorite Homemade Dog Food Recipes

I don’t think I’m alone in my preference for a home-cooked meal, but in Bali, kibble (dry dog food) is typically pretty expensive, so most locals traditionally feed us puppers human food (leftovers), so I basically grew up on rice and chicken. Plus now my dad is a chef, so he shows his love through making me food and I definitely like his food better than the dry pebbles. Sadly my parents only give my cooked food half the time and I have to eat the dry stuff for the other half, but I can’t really complain. If you or your human prefers you to eat real food, check out my recipes below!

My mama is always bothering me with her photography, usually I’m pretty good at catching her in the act and ruining her plans, but sometimes she still gets it, so here are some of the good ones.
