Planning

I love planning..sometimes anyway.  The Box is planning a trip in the fall, to Dave's homeland and my fave city, Dublin and London.  The reason is not the best in the world, involves a really depressing birthday, but a trip is a trip.  Seems like several people are interested in joining the jaunt.  Not sure how many will actually make the trip but the more the merrier.

Seems none of the people we are going to torture with our presence have dogs so I won't be taking the actual product, but the box will go all the same.

Summer Snack

Blueberry Bites......I eat way to many when they come out of the oven.  But they are yummy, I wonder if our little snackers realize how fab they are.  I look forward to June every year because that is the month when I snag the fresh ones.  I have thought about growing some, but I think it would be out of my league. I will just stick to Foxgloves.

Holiday Weekend

  It was a very festive 4th this year. I went to Augusta to help John and Rich paint.  Even though that is not very glamorous , I did get to see Denise and Steve, go for a swim and watch the fireworks while driving around the river, kinda cool.

The Leftovers on HBO might be the new tv night show. We are still mourning the loss of Walt and Jesse.  Summer is in full force here in Athens and the World Cup is slowly coming to an end...yayay  Argentina!!!

Still enjoying hanging on the porch......

Pee Wee

Back in the day we had 3 dogs and that means we had to buy all of the monthly meds every two months.  I had gotten used to only buying heartgard for one in the last couple of years.  Well, that has changed...back to every two months....eye potions galore....  Even though this little beast doesn't take daily meds, when she needs attention, she goes big.  As in hundreds big.  But, what do you do.  My downfall will always be the four-legged friends I accumulate along the way.

Sad to say but when I dream of hitting the lottery, the first thing I think of is not the round the world tour I will take or the homes I will own, (those thoughts come in a close second), it is thank god I can afford regular grooming and eye drops!

Working girl

 


 I know that we are not supposed to bring pets to work that often..if ever. But Blanche wanted to check out my office so we had a sneak your dog to work day!

Wanna be wheat free..

It is officially going to be the end of me! Making a tasty treat with Brown Rice Flour.  Seems simple, but the consistency of the flour just does not agree with me at all!! I keep changing up the recipe so that one day I can type up a label that proudly displays the words.....Brown Rice Flour.

Lovely Summer!

This coming saturday is the first day of summer!!!  Love it!  I am afraid it is not the best time for my little buddies, especially Blanche.... one of several uncomfortable issues a bulldog suffers through is not having the best breathing apparatus in that adorable, squishy snout.  She gets hot and stays hot, so we try and keep her inside.

In order to make her feel better, we decided to create her very own treat...Blanche's Banana Bites.
She seems thrilled, but when is she not thrilled to have a snack...

For this yummy treat, we will donate 10% of the sale of each box to Georgia English Bulldog Rescue.  They are a pretty cool organization and are responsible for our newest cover girl!
