Why Wagmo?
Happy Monday everyone! I watch Jake and Maggie like a hawk and noticed that Maggie was picking up weight which surprised me. Every day we play frisbee outside and she runs like a bullet plus she is active in the house. Her eating habits have not changed either. I dropped them both off at Paradise Paws Grooming in Oakdale, PA and when I picked them up, the groomer said that she thought Maggie had a bloated stomach. All of the energy literally left me! I immediately called the vet who fit...
Apple, Peanut Butter, Honey Sliced Treats
Happy “Friday Treats Friday”! I went to Krogers today and bought several broccoli florets to dehydrate for the dogs. Per my previous posts, I wondered if broccoli would make a great dehydrated treat but at the last minute decided to make these pretty sliced apples with peanut butter (unsweetened) and a drizzle of honey. Can dog’s eat honey? Yes, they can. See that post Can Dogs Eat Honey? (HERE). I was interested to see if Jake and Maggie liked honey as this was the first time they had...
37 Things You Did Not Know About Me
Happy Wednesday everyone! I’ve had a great week so far and it’s not over! I turned 49 yesterday and received the most beautiful cards, sweetest texts, lunches, dinners, and wonderful presents from my loved ones and friends. Thomas always makes my birthday special by making the whole month about me! One might not think to ask for an updated garage with custom cabinets, ceiling fans and lighting put in the guest bedroom and bathroom for their birthday but I did. He is making it happen for...
Tips To Staying In A Hotel With Your Cat
Happy Monday everyone!! Thomas and I went to dinner on Saturday night and we started talking about all of the home projects we have completed this year. We decided back in January that this would be the year to check the projects off our list and vacation next year! This led to the discussion about taking Jake and Maggie with us, traveling with pets, and taking at least one vacation without them. Our discussions also reminded me of when we lived in Missouri and my visit to our vet when I...
A Casual Tablescape For Four Using Lemons
Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope your week is going well. I've been wanting to put this post out for awhile now so that I could share the good news...Thomas and I are the proud godparents to the most beautiful baby boy we have ever seen. His name is Max and he is a bundle of sweetness with the most beautiful round face, white hair, and blue eyes. I had everyone over to the house for a casual lunch so that Thomas and I could spend time with Max and chose these dishes because Max's mom loves...
Why Do Dogs And Cats Lick Us?
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend. I wrote this post because I have two sweet labs who love to lick me but I call it “giving kisses"! As I type this, Jake is laying next to me giving me kisses on my leg. In the middle of the night, I will feel two little kisses on my arm and it is Jake. It’s as if he is checking on me and letting me know he is there. But why do dog lick us? She loves laying on her daddy in his big chair and relaxing. Dogs lick people for a...
Puppy Apple Crisp
Happy “Friday Treats Friday”! When I was writing Monday’s post "Can Dog's Eat Honey? (HERE), I was thinking I would create an apple pie recipe similar to the one (HERE) only loaded with apples but decided to put a twist on it. And the winner is…. Puppy Apple Crisp! Yeahhh!!! Jake and Maggie are at my feet right now as I type this post and the kitchen smells like cinnamon! Can dogs eat Cinnamon? Yes they can! And…it is non-toxic to cats and horses as well! This recipe is full of all...
Homemade Fettuccini Alfredo Sauce
Happy Wednesday everyone!!! I haven't shared a human recipe in a while (well, except for this Caprese sandwich HERE) so I couldn't wait to surprise you with this one!! I created this recipe when Thomas and I first got married. I love cooking for him because he is the best taste tester ever and we both share the love of pasta! This recipe is NOT for those on a diet, that's for sure. It is loaded with carbs, butter, garlic, and cheese but whose counting, right? This is a cheesy, garlicky,...
Can Dogs Eat Honey?
Happy Monday everyone! Over the weekend, Jake woke us up at 2:30 am Saturday morning coughing and gagging as if he had kennel cough. I recently put him on Apoquel for his allergies and gave him one pill which calmed him down. I called our vet the next morning who told me that he had picked up some sort of pollen that day and it had taken a bit to enter through his system. So my poor baby had a severe allergy attack and had himself so upset. This got me thinking about what else I could do...
Puppy Pretzels With Cheese
Happy Friday everyone! It’s “Friday Treats Friday” and we have homemade pretzels and cheese this week! First, let me just tell you that this recipe smells soooooo good! It is like having an apple pie baking in your oven. I just had to taste the pretzel right out of the oven and although a little bland for me, Jake and Maggie really enjoyed their snack. They are the smartest pups and have come to realize that when I take treats over to a certain spot in my kitchen to be photographed, that...
