Pepper Salami Cheese Bites

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...

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...
