No problem. Glad I could be of some help.
If your pup hasn't eaten raw before, you might want to quickly sear one side of the meal as an introduction. The food comes ground, so it's easy to form it into a thin patty. Mine looked at me like I was crazy the first time I tried to feed them raw. It can also help to put the meal sized portion in a ziploc bag & let it sit in some warm water for a few minutes. That way, your pup won't get turned off by eating something cold and straight from the fridge. Either way helps with a first time raw eater. Don't worry, after the initial shock, they end up stuffing their faces they love it so much. Good luck!!
And I must agree, the winters in Seattle are terrible. It's not so much the cold...it's just the lack of sunshine that really got to me. Luckily, Whistler is right there. That really helps with the winter gloomies. But I've lived in many places (even Australia
...Adelaide), and I can honestly say that summer in Seattle has got to be one of the best places in the world. Other that it being absolutely gorgeous, there's so much to do & the people are all so happy!! It's definitely a great pay off.
Anyway...best of luck with the raw diet. I hope it works out well for you!
