Spice and everything nice

My sis of "Around the dog bowl" dog blog is visiting. My dogs are in luck, cuz my sis loves to homecook and bake for her own doggies! Last night, sis whipped out a batch of delicious smelling pumpkin spice cookies just for them. We had long been wanting to test out a number of home-baked dog treat recipes –  adjusting recipes to be grain-free  – since my dogs have been on a grain free diet for the last several years. I had played around with potato flours in the past with ok results, so this time we tested with garbanzo bean (chick pea) flour. Head on over to Around the Dog Bowl and see how we fared and if the dogs approved!

Jumpin' Jilley!

 

Every now and then I will feature some of the many great border collies available for adoption at Glen Highland Farm in upstate NY. I was visiting for a week earlier this month with my dogs and had the opportunity to have one on one time with many of the current dogs.

Meet Jilley! Jilley is a delightful girl... she had very buoyant and happy personality and made me laugh at her antics to get you to play with her. She's a sight to watch as she runs, very athletic and graceful with her long lean frame. She found a best buddy at the Farm, Hunter, a very regal looking boy pal... and they would love a home together!

In the weeds

In the weeds... well, not really. Just continuing on an extremely hectic end of summer into fall season with work stuff and life stuff. I thank my dogs for being a source of laughter and smiles when my head is in a traffic jam. I mean, look at that photo, that's a happy dog!

Meep meep!
