It's almost market season again and we are looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Got a few new menu items that we are working on and a couple of pretty fun trips in the works. The box is definitely ready to hit the road/air again. Eloise isn't getting any younger but for a bulldog she still acts like a puppy! Can't wait to share our upcoming adventures. Anyone have any fun ideas on where to take the box let us know!!</div>oscar biteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09604216320529779412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315592648927495874.post-89474447506237923532020-04-08T11:04:00.001-04:002020-04-08T11:04:58.671-04:00Bright Spot<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wow. So far 2020 has sucked. It is so much to take in. I never would have thought that anything like this on such a massive scale could happen. I realize that there have been virus’s and other medical issues/disasters that have certainly caused destruction throughout the years, maybe some that are more contagious. I am not a medical professional so I can’t make any sort of factual comment on that, but I do know this one is bad, really bad. I know of many people who are currently out of work, my husband being one of them, people that are sick and those that have lost loved ones and my heart goes out to each and everyone of them. We have certainly had a loss of sales and most of the events we count on throughout the year have already been cancelled. But given what others have lost, our loss just doesn’t even compare. So far the time being we just sit tight, hang out at home and try to do our part. We are still selling online and we make deliveries in our hometown. We don’t get to say hello to our customers and give them a big hug, but there will be time for that in future, I am certain of it.</div>

Trying to look on a bright note, because that is what we should try to do right?…We have added a new member of the family. Fatty (terrible name) was dumped off at a shelter the day after Christmas and was in positively horrible shape. He is 11 and was at one time a champion in the bulldog show world. Basically this little guy won some awards and then got to be the baby daddy to a lot of puppies, making money for whoever owned him at that time. I realize that not everyone who came in contact with him over the years was a horrible pet owner. I haven’t met them and don’t really want to. But what I do know that this little guy had never been neutered, has heart worms, many rotten teeth, has trouble walking, and just couldn’t breathe by the time the rescue got him. As always, Georgia English Bulldog Rescue took care of his medical needs as much as they can, sparing no expense. So now he is currently snoring on one of the many beds we have for him, just waiting for the next snack. He can breathe, he loves to sit in the sun and he is an absolute sweetheart, so chipper and upbeat. He will be 12 soon, pretty good for a bulldog and we intend to make the most of the time he has left. And knowing that this little guy is a fighter hopefully he will be around for quite a while!</div>

Wow!!! 2020 already..and the end of January at that. It's been an incredibly long time since I posted but time just gets away. Been a lot going on. Been helping a lot of dogs celebrate birthdays and any other day that a dog needs to be celebrated! Our Frosty Bites frozen treats are a big hit and they are pretty tasty for humans too! In between being in the kitchen and going to festivals, the box has been taking a few trips. Some far away, some not so far and some revisiting places we think of as a second home. We look forward to 2020 and can't wait to see what it holds!</div>

The worst part of last year was saying goodbye to Mia (Pee Wee). She made it to 16 and I was really hoping to bake that birthday cake with a big 17 on it but it was not meant to be. We had her for 8 years and she was quite a handful in her own charming little way. She was the last of an era and I could not have loved her more.</div>

I just love Halloween! I may not always get to wear a costume and even give out candy but I still try to decorate just a bit. We are always searching for cookie cutters and this happens to be one of my faves! We love it when canine trick or treaters come by with their humans and feel like they should get a treat too! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On another note I have made the leap into the web design world. it was truly a horrifying experience for someone with not one web design skill like me. But my bestie web master suggested I change up the format so it will be easier for my to update so I did. What would have taken a 10 year old about 2 hours to complete took me...well we won't talk about that. But it is up and I have to say I kinda like it! So check it out and check out our yummy treats! Your canine will thank you and I will too!</div>

I am always screaming for ice cream. I do believe it is my favorite snack (food group), next to popcorn. I love that I can have such a yummy creamy cup of delight and by adding all sorts of other ingredients it becomes a double feature. I have so many favorite brands and flavors of ice cream that I love. One day I was starting to make our Frosty Bites (doggy ice cream) I decided to whip of a batch of an ice cream that I might enjoy. I splurged and bought an ice cream maker and haven't stopped churning since. </div>

I felt the need to give my little company a different name so my customers wouldn't get the ice cream confused with dog friendly ice cream. So of course I decided to pay homage to my beloved Myrtle who just happened to be a black dog! I am still a small enterprise, kind of under the radar so to speak. I make small batches of ice cream to order and will deliver them to you if you are in the Athens, Ga area. I have even dropped off a few pints to customers in ATL. </div>

As always creating items be it dog treats or ice cream is an ongoing process. There have been some not so great experiments...I mean I still ate it of course! We rate the flavors I make as either Edible or Sellable, so far they have at least been edible, apart from one questionable batch of caramel ice cream...I hated it but the customer loved it..go figure!</div>

I take custom orders because it makes me practice making different flavors. I could eat Oreo's and Cream all day long and even though it is one of our most popular, making a key lime pie flavor was a challenge I loved. Turned out pretty yummy!</div>

I haven't posted in a while but the box has been busy. Last year we went to visit my Bestie not once but twice in San Francisco because it took that long to finally get tickets to Alcatraz! Took the night tour and I highly recommend it!</div>

But now V is loading up her truck and trailer and is coming back to Ga for a few months. So of course that meant a road trip was in the works and I certainly can't turn one down! So I flew to San Diego and we took in some sights. We loaded the trailer, cleaned her apartment, put the cats in the cat tube in the backseat and hit the road!</div>

Before we left San Diego we ate at some yummy restaurants, spent the day at the San Diego Zoo and made an unfortunate wrong turn that landed us across the border in Mexico. The unfortunate part of that adventure was that it took us 3 hours...no joking.. to drive the 2 1/2 miles to get back across the border. Apparently being Mother's Day made the traffic even worse than normal or so the nice guy at the border told us. Luckily we had some entertainment because there are all kinds of street vendors that walk up and down between the cars with food and drinks and gifts for sale. I even had time to hop out and find a bathroom! </div>

We had no plan, just west coast to east coast within 5 days or so. On the way out of CA we stopped by Borrego Springs to check out the incredible steel statues that are on the side of the road. There are about 130 of them but we only had time to see a few.</div>

We walked for what seemed forever, when in reality probably only about 30 minutes. The sand was too warm for Atticus so he went back down to splash in the stream. The box did not have such a great time. The wind almost took care of his future travel adventures!</div>

I am so lucky that one of my closet friends is a very talented and accomplished potter. Betsy Williams owns Enbi Studio and because of her I think that our treats have some of the best sample displays on the market circuit!!! It doesn't hurt that she is my New Mexico connection and because of her I get to be completely enchanted once a year! If you are ever in the need for the most perfect handcrafted gift.. or hopefully to just treat yourself to a wonderful and useful piece of pottery...look her up at www.enbistudio.com.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.68; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Fingers crossed I'll be taking the box on another trip to visit the Land of Enchantment next week. Tiny plate headquarters here we come!!!</div>

Okay, we didn't make it to St. Augustine or Memphis or LA......big sad face. But my Bestie's next nursing assignment is in the spectacular city of San Francisco!!!! Score!!! So we are going to cross our fingers and casually plan a visit. I so love that city. I especially like how the sun can be shining and yet on top of the Golden Gate Bridge you are only staring at grey swirls of mist! Now I am not going to think about it too much. As I always say..don't take the tea urn back!! But hopefully the box will continue it's travels soon. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As always everything has to come to an end and we have reached that time once again. We lost Max this past April. He was almost 15 years old. We have been the caretakers/owners of the spaniels for almost 5 years now. I am sure that some people can remember how I bitched and moaned about having to take these little beasties into our home. Here we were, stuck with two extra dogs. Dogs of such a breed we had never lived with before..mainly dogs with fur that needed to be maintained, among other annoyances. They came and then went away for a couple of months and then they came back again for good. They have been around for Oscar, Blanche and Eloise. They were a bonded pair and we have been dreading the day that one of them would leave the other one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have owned only two male dogs in my life. For some reason I always seem to have the ladies. My two boys were so incredibly sweet and easy going. Max was without a doubt the sweetest dog I have ever owned. He was positively delighted to see you walk in the door. I have heard Cocker Spaniels described as a "merry breed" and I thought that sounded silly, but after Max I realize that description suited him perfectly. He was always upbeat, always aiming to please. His favorite thing to do was sit beside you and watch TV with his paw thrown over your leg. When he was younger he was extremely playful and maybe I do feel a little bad about throwing away that squeaky newspaper toy he had but I just couldn't take it anymore! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a running dialogue everyday I had him. I constantly argued with him and tripped over him and his toys. I gave Dave such grief over bringing those spaniels home but everyone knew I adored them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a very hard decision to make because he was still up and about. He couldn't see or really hear and he had dementia. But if you put your hand on him that stumpy tail would start to wag and he would crawl up in your lap. We decided that we certainly wouldn't want to spend our days in his condition that just maybe he didn't want to either. And as I always told people, I would be wailing when we had to take him to the vet and I certainly was. I truly loved him and will think of him absolutely everyday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mia definitely knows he is gone. She is not as outgoing as Max was so she tends to keep to herself on a regular basis. But she looks around and stands at the gate looking into the driveway. I guess it is kind of a good thing that Eloise is always annoying her because it gives her something to take her mind off of Max..and yes, I do believe that she misses him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am lucky to have lived with Max. I always try to learn from animals and he taught me to try and chill and just enjoy the day. I am happy to say that for at lest 5 years of his life he got to do just that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love you Max.</div>

It's already that time of year! The one day that Dave has to work around the clock to make sure everyone has their fill of green beer so they can throw it up later today in the Waffle House bathroom...or I hope they make it to the bathroom. For me....the green I want to consume would be mint chocolate chip ice cream and festive donuts. </div>

We decided to experience a little culture. The National Gallery has long been one of my favorite destinations to take in the sights of some of the greatest works of art or refrigerator magnets as I fondly refer to them. Once you see one of these paintings on a calendar or refrigerator you know you are looking at greatness!!</div>

After all of these years, we had never walked across Abbey Road. The neighborhood drivers have a a ton of patience because there is always someone "crossing" the street and holding up traffic. I imagine in the summer months it is a nightmare for them. But we certainly joined in the fun.</div>

My bestie loaded up her 5 cats and drove to California..well she is driving right now. She took a travel nursing job in Placentia, CA for 3 months. I am so incredibly proud of her. She has worked long and hard for this opportunity and even though she was nervous about the choice she made she was equally as excited. I wish her all of the best and of course can't wait to sleep on the sofa bed in her apartment when I visit. CA here we come again!!!</div>

Who wouldn't love to go to London in January?? For the right ticket price I am there. Luckily I have a dear friend who lives there and I try to pop over whenever I can. Not to say that winter is my favorite season to visit but I will take what I can get! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My last trip the Box didn't make it but this time it has a passport and is ready to go! There are plenty of fantastic things to do and see indoors in the great city of London so if the days us a little dreary there is always a museum to take a twirl through. I will of course be checking out dog bakeries in London. Never hurts to check out the competition! And of course the donut tour should have plenty of spots to choose from!</div>

Take a look at Dave's 50th birthday. Not that this little girl isn't precious...but because of her kidney stones and her first and only heat cycle, we have been chained to the house. No Florida and no Graceland for us this year :(. But what a face!!! Gotta love her!</div>

Hopefully one day soon we will get to go on a donut/ice cream quest but for now we are just playing nurse to our littlest team member. While I have been hanging with our little patient I have been experimenting with some ice cream. Bought an ice cream maker and have been doing research and am now trying to create yummy goodness. There just may be a new addition to the empire...and this time for people to enjoy. I think ice cream sandwiches sound pretty good right about now!</div>

It has taken awhile but I believe Dave's 50th birthday celebration destination has been chosen and I must admit I am surprised. Of all places he has chosen a road trip to Graceland!!! Don't get me wrong...I think it sounds fab! I have never been to Graceland and have always wanted to. Just never would have thought Dave would have chosen that particular destination. </div>

We will be driving through Alabama and Mississippi on our way to Memphis! The entire travel team is not depicted in the photo but until we load up the car again this partial photo will have to do!</div>

I always have to make my yearly statement that my porch is my favorite room of the house, so here it is! The porch buddy I have this year really takes me back a few years. Eloise certainly looks different from Oscar, but there is enough similarity there to make my look twice. luckily she finds the porch just as relaxing as the Spaniels and I do.</div>

One of the best things about baking and selling Oscar Bites would have to be meeting people and their pets. I finally got to meet Kallie this past weekend. Her mom and dad have been buying treats for Kallie for a couple of years now. I don't know this little family, they are people who bought my treats and really liked them...or Kallie did! It still blows me away that I am able to produce a product that people will buy. Not that my treats are unappealling, but the fact that I bake them and actually sell them just completely makes my day, week and year! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is apparent by now that I do love animals. I wish I could have a huge place where I could rescue every pet that needs a home. Until that day comes, and I will just be positive and assume that it will, I will keep doing what I can for rescues and hoping for the best. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't written in a while because I knew I should broach the subject of Blanche and for obvious reasons I have been avoiding it. Last month my adorable little beastie took a turn for the worse and died. We are not sure why, it happened rather quickly. I know she had started sounding snotty and congested and she was even going to her vet to get more meds for it the morning after she passed away..in our house..and I am sure it wasn't pleasant for her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One minute she was there and the next minute throwing up and I am quite sure gone, even though we rushed her to the emergency vet clinic. I have loved and cared for bulldogs a long time. I certainly understand all of the complications they deal with. Some are hardier than others and some you just look at and wonder how they get through the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blanche had a rough life and she was not medically taken care of. When she was rescued and came to our house all of that changed and she got all of the care she needed and deserved. We only got to know and love her for 3 years. She was eight years old when she died. Over half of her life was spent spitting out puppies in a mill. Don't get me started. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But our little gremlin had the best personality and she was friendly and as active as she could be. Of course she was a calendar girl and she won a selfie contest (500.00) for her rescue! She was so beautiful that we certainly put her in loads of our photos. She filled a void after we lost Oscar and I was hoping she would be around for many years to come. But life goes on and even though I send random texts to my husband everyday about how much I miss her I know that for her sake I will be foolish enough to reach out to another bulldog in need. What if nobody had chosen to help her. Rescue has become something I am passionate about, not just bulldogs of course, but any animal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to say that the spaniels...well Max..seem to miss her. Who knew that I would end up having them longer. I guess they are meant to be with me a little while longer. My only wish would be my little Blanche Marie would be here too. I will love her absolutely forever.</div>

February in Santa Fe..who knew it could be so....warm! I was quite lucky to visit my adopted state in what has been considered one of their warmest winters in a bit!! No a snowflake in sight! Lots of walking around and enjoying the scenery. This trip I got to spend a little more time in Santa Fe thanks to a wonderful friend of Betsy's and Mark's (thanks Ray!) because it is usually really cold up on the top of their mountain and it is nice to be sure you have running water throughout the day.</div>
<br />
<br />
We walked around town, ate my fave southwestern food, took a few pics and found a donut shop!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Whoo's Donuts In Santa Fe did not let me down. They had an excellent selection, some very well done classics as well as some exciting choices using such ingredients as lavender, pistachio, chili powder..to name a few. I generally have to get 2 or more and one of them has to be a chocolate donut. The above Dark Chocolate Crunch is to die for...they even use chocolate from their neighboring chocolate store. I highly recommend a trip to Whoo's, but get their fast this place does sell out.</div>

It finally happened. A trip to Albuquerque for the Breaking Bad tour. So much fun. We cruised around for 3 hours in an RV, decorated on the inside to resemble the mobile meth lab. Not only did we see Breaking Bad locations, we got to see locations from other movies and tv shows that have been shot in and around the area. We got a breakfast burrito from Los Pollos Hermanos, got to pop in the Nail Salon used in Better Call Saul, cruised Jesse's house and ended up at the car wash. the tour was run by a husband and wife team and they were very knowledgeable and most importantly fun! I even got 3 trivia questions right so I got to fly home with my little bags of blue rock candy!</div>

For this trip I flew into the Santa Fe airport and I have one word, so cute...maybe two words! I thought it was so neat to have such a small passenger lounge and one conveyor belt for your luggage. I watched a woman that worked there do about 3 different jobs in the span of about 45 minutes, she knew her stuff!</div>

It's February...almost..and it is the month for love. Actually everyday should be filled with love but we will focus on the exciting day in February that we are supposed to eat chocolate!! How can you not love that? And for all of the non-chocolate eaters, it is the day for you to chow on whatever yummy confection you want. I really enjoy ice cream and donuts! </div>

Luckily Oscar always loved a little bit of his own kind of chocolate so how could I say no to that face. Being a dog, chocolate is a no-no so carob chips will have to do. I have tasted carob and was traumatized..ick..but Oscar never seemed to mind.</div>

We have our own little cookies for our dogs and they are our Pudgie Balls. Yummy. Since it is the day of hearts we like for our treats to be all pretty.</div>

There is one more thing that our resident princess Blanche loves almost as much as Pudgie Balls and that is lounging.</div>
