How To Make Black Spaghetti
Happy Monday everyone!! Have you ever tasted Black Spaghetti before? Well, I haven’t until today and I just had to blog about it. For as much as I love Italian food, I have never seen it before. I honestly can’t describe it. It is a combination of looking creepy and almost disgusting so it’s perfect for a Halloween dish. I can see this at a party, sitting in a big bowl mixed with chunks of extra sharp cheddar, green olives, and doused with Italian Dressing with lots of herbs. As for the...
Eaton’s Overcurrent Protective Device Video
Happy Friday everyone! I created “Jake’s Garage” on Two Adorable Labs to showcase all home remodeling projects, garage and mechanic topics, and electrical safety. Jake is always with his daddy helping around the house so what better way to highlight Jake and create DIY and awareness posts but to name a category after him and include all that we enjoy. Eaton’s Thomas Domitrovich,Vice President, Technical Sales, Dan Carnovale, Director, Eaton Power Systems Experience Centers, and Erik Hurd,...
Lititz, PA America’s Coolest Small Town
This is a repost: Mr. Tal and I were discussing some trips we have planned with Jake and Maggie, and our trip to Lititz came up. We both agreed that this was one of our favorite and most relaxing trips. We did not bring the dogs on this trip, but Lititz is a dog-friendly destination. I walked into a pet clothing store that allowed dogs and watched people walk their dogs up and down the boutique-lined streets. Some were dining with their dogs on outdoor patios. Everyone I talk to seems to...
Pepper Salami Cheese Bites
Happy Wednesday everyone! Sometimes we follow the Keto Diet in our house and these Pepper Salami Cheese Bites are perfect for those on this diet. I scrambled through the refrigerator and cabinets after Mr. TAL declared last week Keto week and came up with this recipe. I’m not a huge fan of salami but I have to say this recipe is Mrs. TAL (that’s me) approved :-). The salami turned out crispy around the edges and the combination of this ooey gooey cheesy mixture and al dente soft peppers was...
How to Recognize And Treat Cat Dandruff
Happy Monday everyone! How to Recognize and Treat Cat Dandruff. Years ago, my parents started feeding a stray cat that made her home under their shrubs where she had her kittens. We named her Boo Boo Kitty and she is one of the most amazing cats. She is still around and well taken care of but her long fur tends to get tangled quite a bit. This got me thinking about her skin. All animals shed dead skin cells but when does it become a problem? How do we distinguish cat dandruff from pet...
Make A Barkuterie Board For Your Pet
Happy “Friday Treats Friday” everyone! I’ve posted before about Charcuterie Boards but have you ever heard of Barkuterie Boards? Yes, there is such a thing.

Just ask BringFido who have blogged about many of their Barkuterie Boards! There is so much to think about when creating this fun snack for your pup. Charcuterie Boards are packed...
Chocolate Carrot Walnut Spice Cake
Happy Wednesday everyone!!! With fall weather comes the pumpkin, spice, and anything nice desserts and I’ve been loving all the recipes I’ve been finding on Southern Homes magazine, Martha Stewart Living magazine, and Pinterest. I love baking a cake from scratch but chose to put my own creative spin on a box cake! This Chocolate, Carrot, Walnut, Spice cake is definitely a keeper for your recipe box! With each bite you can taste the cocoa powder, then comes the spice, the carrots are light...
Day Trip To Cook Forest, PA
Happy Monday everyone! We kicked off October with a trip to Cook Forest on Saturday and the pups loved it. The weather was absolutely beautiful with blue skies, a light breeze, and crisp fall weather in the morning warming up to the 70s by mid afternoon. We dressed Jake and Maggie up in their new bow ties from The Pampered Pooches (see small businesses I support) and headed out around 8:30 am! Our 2 hour scenic route up Rt. 28 to Rt. 66 into Clarion to Rt. 36 showed off the beautiful farm...
Mammoth TireBiter Dog Toy Product Review
This is a re-post: Well....I bought these TireBiter Dog Toys several times since this post went out and always come up with the same review...these tires last about a week before they are destroyed. But, they last longer than any other toy I buy Jake and Maggie. If you have a power chewer in the house, try these out and let me know what you think! Or if you have another dog toy that can last, I would LOVE to know about it :-). Happy Friday everyone! Do you have a power chewer in your...

I made these for National Dog Week last week and the pups enjoyed them so much. According to Dox Design...
