Doggie Star Biscuits
This is a re-post: I thought I'd post these Doggie Star Biscuits again because they are not only healthy but perfect for July 4th! I ended up getting a lot of use out of these star cookie cutters. I used them to cut out these treats and then used them again to cut out star shaped cheese for a charcuterie board I was taking to a party. Happy July 4th everyone! We hope you are celebrating...
What Is Hyperkeratosis In Dogs?
Happy Monday everyone! Is your pet showing signs of Hyperkeratosis? I think I’ve dealt with pretty much everything when it comes to pets and animals but then I heard about dogs excessively producing to much keratin and I had to research more. Jake And Maggie now have rough patches on their elbows which the vet has instructed me to keep watch of them getting hard and crusty. When this...
Are Dandelions Toxic To Dogs?
Happy Wednesday everyone! We had Jake And Maggie out all weekend and at one point I caught Jake with a dandelion fuzz stuck to his nose. Darn if I didn’t leave my phone in the house and couldn’t take a picture. He looked so cute. It got me wondering Can Dogs Eat Dandelions and Are Dandelions Toxic To Dogs if ingested? I assumed they were but after doing some research, I found they actually...
Nutter Butter Doggie Sandwiches
This is a re-post: Jake And Maggie turned 6 on June 8th and I made these Nutter Butter Doggie Sandwiches again for them. I can't believe my babies are 6 years old. We were in Franklin, TN on their birthday having lunch at Harlinsdale Farm but I promised them that when we came home, mom would make them a treat! Happy Wednesday everyone! Today is Jake and Maggie’s 5th birthday!!!...

Happy Wednesday everyone! I’m constantly working with Jake And Maggie to make sure they don’t forget how to heel, focus on their “recall” and to make sure they don’t act like crazy dogs out in public :-). Here are 7 Terms Every Pup Parent Should Know. Have you ever heard of the terms “Capturing” and “Jackpotting”? I have not so I found these interesting. We have fun every morning going over...

Cleaning With Vanilla And Lemon
Happy Monday everyone! In part three of my collaboration with Sweet Home Vanilla, we have put together several natural cleaning and deodorizing options using vanilla and lemon. I've learned so much from talking with Amanda from recipes using vanilla, differences between soy wax vs beeswax, to these cleaning tips. This post is a combination of ways she cleans her house having a small family...
Doggie Eye Boogies And What They Mean
Happy Wednesday everyone! Have you ever wondered if your dog’s eye boogies are normal? If you have, you are not alone. I’m writing on this topic because Maggie constantly has eye boogies (as I call them) and now Jake has been showing signs of eyes tearing up. I took them to vet and was told they are fine and with spring here, their allergies might be acting up. Goods news is that they are...

This is a re-post: Check out how adorable Jake And Maggie are in their St. Patrick's Day attire! Happy Wednesday everyone! Can you believe St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow!
