The bassets

Just when we were busy cleaning up the house after the spaniels.... not really... the bassets came to stay. Just for a few days and they are related so I know they will eventually find their way home.  Oscar is not as taken with them as he was the previous guests, so there is a lot of door closing going on. The bassets are great taste testers though, not like a hound is going to turn down food, but they do seem rather partial to cinnamon snaps!

Spaniel update

I remember a few months ago when I was excited that the Spaniels were only going to be with us a few weeks.  That time came and went, the Spaniels went their merry way and all was well.  Then...a couple of months later, as in May, they returned and have been with us ever since.  From the beginning of their second stay with us, we threw all three of them together and pretty much forced them to like each other.  Was really very easy, we should have done it before but who knew, they were supposed to be out of here.

Oscar, Max and Mia have become fairly close, as in they tolerate each other and like to steal each others beds.  There is still a little squabble ever so often but not enough to even bother with wandering into the other room to see whats up.  I must say that even though the Spaniels started off rather thin, they are now a bit hefty.  Dave doesn't think so but it is kind of apparent to most others.  I received word that they may actually be leaving for good this time.  Maybe on the 20th of this month.  I certainly will not be surprised if we have to hang up two extra stockings this year, but you never know.  It pains me to no end to say that I just might miss their annoying little faces. I think Oscar will too, even though he would never admit it.  I know he will miss their bed! Only time will tell if they will be ringing in the New Year with us or not.

Spaniels

Well, the spaniels arrived and it is pretty much as I figured.  Nobody likes each other, they have to be separated, the boy spaniel whines, the girl spaniel is fairly quiet and oscar could care less...except if they get close. They mean well and are sweet, but my man comes first. This is a good reminder that we can't foster dogs.  Maybe a small puppy, but what a pain a puppy can be at times.  The spaniels have allergies and can't eat OB"s, not that it makes a difference.  Oscar seems to be eating enough for everyone.  He is a little chunky right now.  I am counting the days........

New friends

Oscar helped Earnhardt the Husky celebrate his birthday this weekend and Lola celebrate eating treats!!!  Very happy that others are enjoying oscar's treats..luckily nobody has keeled over yet. 

small change/addition

Thinking I might need to venture into the cake/cupcake world of doggy treats. Had a couple of interested parties, but since I have not practiced..and that makes perfect..kinda don't want to sell yet.  I can always torture some little friend of Oscar's.  BTW...squirrels are coming on 3/25/12 and we are NP.  they better be extremely cute and huggable.

Guests

Luckily I have managed to keep Oscar out of the guest room.  Wouldn't want Auntie Betsy and Uncle Mark to snooze in a nest of dog hair.  Of course baking had to be done, gotta keep the money rolling in..hahaha...
I so wish that dogs could eat people treats, I have to many great receipes for cakes and cookies and stuff but not a single one is pet friendly.  That is probably a good thing in the long run!  As much as I love an Oscar Bite it can't compare to an ice cream cake!!

tick tock

The countdown has begun, either a good thing or a bad thing...either way the website looks fantastic!!!
