Benefits of yogurt for your dog
As I was writing my blog post on the frozen yogurt blueberries (see here), I made sure to make a note to talk about today's post and the benefits of yogurt for your dog. I want to clarify that I used plain, unflavored, non-fat greek yogurt which I did not state in Monday's post. I know that yogurt is great for digestive issues in humans but I never imagined how many benefits yogurt has when it comes to animals. Did you know it also promotes the production of niacin and folic acid, essential...
Frozen yogurt blueberries
I had a completely different post written and ready to go out and THEN...I walked into Kroger and saw these JUMBO blueberries from Family Tree Farms!!! I knew exactly what I was going to do with them...head over to the yogurt section, buy a container of Chobani Plain Greek Yogurt and make these delicious, healthy yogurt covered blueberries for Jake and Maggie!! Honestly, this recipe is soooooo simple. It takes two ingredients which are berries and yogurt. I washed off the berries and dried...
French Vanilla, Blackberry, Raspberry Cake
I cannot describe how proud I am of this recipe! It is decadent, delightful, and delicious with it's rich blood red and Burgundy berry filling and creamy off-white buttercream icing. I've made this recipe before for a family get together but made a few small changes this time and this is it!! This is the one!!! So here it is! Hope you enjoy this post :-). For the cake batter, I used Betty Crocker French Vanilla cake mix but I used Canola Oil instead of Vegetable Oil. I followed the...
Fall is here!!! It’s pumpkin time!!
I've been saying since the beginning of September how I can't wait to decorate for fall!! No...take that back...I've been ready since August LOL. I'm so ready to see the leaves change colors. I love the crisp fall air and the smell of baked apple pies!!! There is just something about fall that makes everything feel "cozy". I even created a "Pinterest Board" called "Fall Season My Favorite Season". Check out all of my boards at www.pinterest.com/twoadorablelabs.com. I've been anxiously...
Where were we?
I've been MIA on my blog posts but I've been here the whole time. The problem is that I made my website using Weebly and they only allow me so many posts a month! I had used up my allotted postings and then had to wait for a new month to begin. Yes, I could upgrade, which I have but I'm not upgrading again. Why you ask...well, I'm working with an amazing web designer to give my site an overhaul but I can't reveal anything yet!! Stay tuned for my launch date! I'm so excited about this...
Animal obesity
If your pet is obese, are you guilty of animal neglect?If you ask me, I would say "YES" without a doubt...YES! If you type "fat dog pic" into your browser, pictures of overweight animals will come up with videos that are supposed to be funny but in my opinion, they are not. For me, seeing an animal under-nourished or over-nourished is, in my opinion, neglect! What can obesity cause in dogs?Obesity also becomes more common in old age because of the normal decrease in a dog's ability to...
Snake skin prints are so in right now!
You all know how excited I was about my snake skin boots because I blogged about them last week (HERE) and now I've completed the outfit. I typically shop everywhere to pull an outfit together. If I get lucky which sometimes I do at Macy's, I can pull an outfit together pretty quick. My sister called to say Kohl's were having a sale (20% off entire purchase) so we headed up to Robinson Township, PA for a sister shopping day and lunch at Central Diner. Their salads are soooooo good! Anyway,...
Sautéed asparagus and grilled rib eye steak
Ok...let me tell you how delicious our meal was today!!!! It was mouthwatering and so fast and easy to make!!! I picked Thomas up from the airport and told him I had a surprise for him...his favorite (besides cheesey mashed potatoes and pork chops)...steak and asparagus!!! We were starving and this meal took literally 15 minutes to make (if that)! There is minimal ingredients for these recipes and can be increased or reduced depending on your taste buds. I was going to blog about the white...
Side effects of the Bordetella Shot
We recently got Jake and Maggie's shots updated (parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, Bordetella, and rabies). We wanted to not only update their shots but to make sure they had the Bordetella vaccination because we will be taking them to Therapy Training and possibly Day Care. I have never had a problem with any of my dogs experiencing any side effects until our sweet Jake started coughing this week. I was so concerned that I made an appointment for him today and after talking to the vet and...
Dental care for your pet
I've had dogs all of my life and fortunately, I have never and hope to never (crossing my fingers) deal with dental problems with Jake and Maggie or any future animals I may adopt. But many have and what does this all mean for you and your pet. Animals hide their pain well and sometimes we don't even know anything is wrong. A bad tooth can become infected and the infection can spread through the blood stream causing severe pain, sickness, or even death. Here I talk about the number of...
