Winter Wonderland 2014

Good morning everyone,
Here in Ohio it is really winter and we are expecting more snow, ICE and rain, all over one night.
For these California boys, we are enjoying the winter weather (for now). This season has been the worst since we arrived in Greenhills in 2008. This is the fourth most snowy winter on record for Cincinnati, and if the Arctic wind keeps blowing we could surpass that, but that would take twenty more inches of snow.
Our Girls love the snow and on this day Coco enjoyed the outdoors


Here are a few pictures of our Winter Wonderland.

Cool summer treats

Peanut Butter & Carob Frozen Yogurt Dog Treats via We Eat. Happy.

Want a great way to spoil your dog and cool them down in a pinch? Today BestBullySticks gets to share a great recipe from We Eat. Happy. Becky and her doggy gang have tested and approved this amazing recipe that will be a new summer favorite in any household. Complete with a dog’s favorite ingredient, peanut butter, and yummy carob powder, your dog will have the same satisfaction as Becky’s dogs! Check out the full recipe below!

Here is a recipe for some dog treats I made for the dogs (with a little help from Maude...). So, these wheat-free, frozen treats are intended for dogs, but there is nothing in them that is weird for a human to eat...I even tasted the batter. The dogs loved  them...right up their alley! Perfect treat for those dog-days of summer (pun absolutely intended).

Peanut Butter & Carob Frozen Yogurt DOG Treats.
(Makes a dozen)

Ingredients

• 2 cups plain yogurt (your choice of fat %)
• 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
• 1 TBL carob powder (CANNOT be substituted for chocolate)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 12 small paper cups

Directions

1. Mix ingredients in a large bowl. Divide evenly into 12 cups (approx. 1/4 cup each).

2. Put into the freezer for at least 3 hours. Peel off, or pop out of, paper cup. Serve.

Bone Appétit & Enjoy!

Thank you to Becky at We Eat. Happy. for sharing this amazing summer recipe and photos with us!

Check out all of our great Weekly Drool Recipes to find the perfect, festive holiday treat for your four-legged best friend! And as always, toss your favorite pup an all-natural bully stick for a classic treat! 

They sound so good I may try one myself.

Our dogs love the home made "Frosty Paws"   I normally use fruit yogurt and drained tuna, the girls will sit and lick them down to a small bit and then eat that all up.  I have seen photos of a dog treat sticking out of the frozen treat, kinda like a handle.  I think this makes it easier removal of the treat from the cup and make it easier the dog to take the treat from you and take to their secret place.

Enjoy!!!

Mission Possible?

Just Remember only 4 more days

Remember Aug 26 -National DOG Day

National Dog Day is celebrated August 26th annually and serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, and acknowledges family dogs and dogs that work selflessly each day to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort. Dogs put their lives on the line every day - for their law enforcement partner, for their blind companion, for a child who is disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs and pulling victims of tragedy from wreckage.

Founded in 2004 by pet lifestyle expert and author Colleen Paige, National Dog Day was created to honor dogs more than we currently do, to give them "a day", to show deep appreciation for our long connection to each other - for their endearing patience, unquestioning loyalty, for their work, their capacity for love and their ability to impact our lives everyday in the most miraculous ways. National Dog Day wishes to encourage dog ownership of all breeds, mixed and pure - and embraces the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and ”abuse-free life”.

National Dog Day is against any kind of "breed ban". Dogs should not have to lose their lives because of the atrocities they have been forced to endure at the hands of man. And while we feel that American's have the constitutional right to purchase a pure breed dog, we strongly discourage buying from pet stores, backyard breeders, the internet, newspaper ads and puppy mills, and rather encourage those seeking new canine companions, to verify that they are buying from a reputable breeder, educate themselves about their dog's breed and better yet - visit their local shelter or pure breed rescue group to adopt a new furry family member that will be forever grateful. Millions of dogs are euthanized each year because they are unwanted. They are wonderful and viable sentient beings that deserve compassion and respect. Please consider adopting on National Day!

We just spent the weekend at Paws-A-Palooza, an adoption fair in Middletown Ohio. 
What fun it was with dogs being adopted all day long.  Such a great  organization.

Our Village is planning a Harvest Festival and Dog Event on October 19 (I'll have more info soon). I am the chair for this event so if you're in Hamilton County or close by and wish to be part of our Harvest Festival, let me know!
