Flowers and Sunshine
I started the “What I’m Loving” posts because these are things, people, and places that I find enjoyment in and want to share them with you. We all lead busy lives and sometimes it is nice just to take a moment and try to enjoy what you have. We lose things, find them again, sometimes in the most unique unsuspecting places. Friendships come and go and only the true remain. I am so grateful for my sister and the bond we have built together. She makes me laugh and when I think of her, I...
Proud Dog Chef
Happy Wednesday everyone!!! I've been wanting to tell you about a cookbook that I purchased called The Proud Dog Chef written by The Proud Dog Mom. She has a blog called www.prouddogmom.com that I've been following and really enjoy reading her articles. I found her through another blogger from Pittsburgh called Wear Wag Repeat by Tori Mistick at www.wearwagrepeat.com. Their blogs are unique and different in their own way and each are very passionate about their pups as I am about Jake and...
Beef liver for your dog
Have you ever given the thought to giving your dog beef liver? I have to admit that it has never crossed my mind. I am always making sure that Jake and Maggie get the best food and treats. I buy everything organic whether it be a baby carrot for a treat or their kibble but liver???? Nope! I've dehydrated chicken strips, sirloin strips, sweet potatoes, zucchini, and even bananas (which didn't turn out that great). Turns out that my research says dogs LOVE BEEF LIVER! I've been...
Frozen Pumpkin Dog Treats
Hi everyone!!! Hope you all had a great weekend! I know I did because Sunday was my birthday!!!! Thomas, my family, and close friends made it feel very special by taking me out to lunch and dinner and sending sweet "Happy Birthday" texts so I thank everyone! I always joke that my birthday is the whole month so next weekend we are taking Jake and Maggie to Misty Pines Dog Park, having lunch with them at Sewickley Hotel in Sewickley, PA and then a surprise dinner somewhere with just Thomas...
Toxic Algae Exposure
I typically give you a post on Friday of "What I'm Loving" but today I have to talk about dogs across the South that are dying from Toxic Algae Exposure. My dad mentioned this to me so I went home and did some research to find out what is going on. I feel that this is something I need to post to help make us all aware that not every lake or pond is clean and we should be careful. Per my research of several sites, this toxic algae is called blue-green algae, a form of toxic bacteria called...
Airport Therapy Dog Programs
It’s been a minute since I posted about Jake and Maggie passing their Canine Good Citizenship training (here and here) all because I wanted them to participate in the PitPaws program at the Pittsburgh International Airport. I want them both to become Therapy Dogs and am excited about taking them into schools to meet with children as well as volunteering at other establishments. When I called Alise, PitPaws Organizer, she explained in detail the length of which I would have to go in order to...
Book Review – The Wife Between Us
As promised, I wanted to give you a full book review on "The Wife Between Us". This wonderful book is a Novel by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen that I purchased via on-line at Barnes and Noble. This book was soooooo good! I love to read and the title caught my attention but was hesitant about making the purchase because I had never read anything from these authors before. But after reading all the great reviews, I took a chance and it did not disappoint. When we are done with our day...
20 Ways to photograph a black dog
I can't tell you how many pictures I've taken of Maggie only to delete them because they didn't turn out right. I don't have a problem with Jake. He is very photogenic and takes better pictures and quite possibly because he is chocolate and not solid black. I am still learning my way around my new camera but I've done some research to help me with taking better pictures of sweet Maggie Rose. Whether you have a black dog or cat, it takes practice. Here are a few suggestions to follow for...
