Very Very Veggie Easter Treat
This is a repost: I've been spending a lot of time volunteering at the shelter, and I realized this morning that I hadn't posted for you today. The days have been flying by me! I promise to send out a new post this week, either Thursday or Friday. I have a new tablescape and new doggie easter posts for you. I made these treats for the dogs, and looking back at these photos, they made me laugh. Jake was adorable with his little green bean. I remember that day so fondly. I haven't posted...
Easter Table Ideas 2020
Has everyone been enjoying their time away from the office or are you getting stir crazy? Life really hasn’t changed for us except that Thomas’ travel has been cancelled through May! We are loving life at home together; he in his office and me in mine being productive. We get to meet (in the kitchen) for lunch every day and dinner is exactly 5:00 :-). The dogs are getting walked twice a day instead of once and we are practicing our social distancing! I realized today that Easter is Sunday,...
What Is Biofilm?
Have you ever picked up your dog’s water bowl and dishes and felt a slimy substance on your fingertips? That is called Biofilm. A Biofilm forms when certain microorganisms (for example, some types of bacteria) adhere to the surface of some object in a moist environment and begin to reproduce. The microorganisms form an attachment to the surface of the object by secreting a slimy, glue-like substance. The length of time it takes Biofilm to form is one day and can stick to plastic, stainless...
20 Activities And Cleaning Tips To Help You Get Through The Coronavirus Quarantine
I have been debating whether to blog about the coronavirus because we have been inidated with hearing it on the news and in discussions with friends and family. Firstly, my heart goes out to those who are suffering and sick right now and to those who have lost a loved one due to this virus. I also want to send a special message to those who are helping to save lives and my gratitude goes out to all of you. I am also sending blessings to those who are fighting to save our sweet animals who...
Do Dogs Understand Personal Space?
Do dogs really understand the meaning of personal space? I don't think Jake and Maggie do. I’m sure we are all sick of talking and thinking about the Coronavirus. I know Jake and Maggie are! Every activity I think of involves being around places and people so we have begun a new routine of walking our property line, and a new routine of walking around our neighborhood. We got our walk in today but I don’t think it was enough because they were like velcro on my hip all day. I even made a...
Shamrock Shake And A Root Beer Float
I made it out yesterday and today to run errands and let me tell ya…It is crazy out there!! I wanted to make sure that we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day at the Domitrovich household. I made us an Irish meal (more on that next week) and brought back an old recipe from my childhood…A Root Beer Float! I haven’t had one in years!!!! My mom and dad would make these for me and my sister on the weekends. We would pop popcorn, make our floats and watch movies on Saturday nights :-). With ice cream...
Whipped Egg Broccoli Spinach Treats
This is a re-post. I made these for St. Patrick's Day but I think they would be perfect for Easter! These daisy shaped molds would look perfect as an Easter doggie treat! While you are cooking breakfast, brunch, or dinner, you can whip these up to be served at the same time you are eating. You and your pup can enjoy the holiday together 🙂 Happy early St. Patrick’s Day everyone!! Who is making their pup something special to celebrate? I made these treats for Jake and Maggie this...
Should Dogs Be Allowed In Grocery Stores? Part 2
Are you dying to know what the majority vote is on whether dogs should be allowed in grocery stores? See my post from Wednesday HERE. I promised I would reveal the answer and weigh in on my thoughts as well. Jake and Maggie loved their mini photo shoot this week. The weather was beautiful for taking these pictures. But let me tell you all how hard it is to keep two dogs focused while taking pictures....IT IS HARD WORK! It looks like everyone agrees with the Food and Drug Administration...
Should Dogs Be Allowed In Grocery Stores?
I was in our local JoAnn Fabrics Store the other day and noticed the “Pets Allowed” sign on the door as I was checking out. I expressed my excitement to the cashier but noticed the side eye from the lady next to me. My next stop was Krogers where I saw a couple walking a small dog with a vest that said…”Service Dog Do Not Pet”. The first thing I wanted to do was pet the dog but I had to respect the rules. Service dogs are for people who need emotional support and should be left alone. But...
