Flying by

Miss Eloise not having fun but the trip to the vet was needed and at least after a lengthy dose of medication she seems to be feeling a bit better. She is a trooper. Even feeling a little yuky she has been a busy bee the past month.

She made a few new friends at a University of Georgia Football Game and even got to be on television!

Thanks to the people at SEC Live she got to represent her favorite cause...Georgia English Bulldog Rescue!

She got to hang out with the cool people at the Athens, GA Subaru Dealership on their fundraiser day for a local animal rescue.

She went to a Halloween Parade with her bestie Skippa..they decided to go as...Adorables!

She refused to wear her hat for more than the second it took to snap this photo.

She avoided raking leaves. Her reasoning is they are just going to keep falling so why bother!

She decided to take a break with her favorite sleeping buddy. I think she knows the holidays are upon us so she better get baking!!

Change of plans

   

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!

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!

Road trip!!!

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. 

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!

If anyone has info about cool places to check out on our route let me know!!!

Porch time

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.

Summer markets are under way and being in Georgia it is really hot.  I can't take all of my flavors to the market due to the heat but our peanut butter flavors always make the trip. 

Blanche's Banana Bites

PB&H Bites

Gotta love love treats made for you beastie!!

And Eloise is all about trying them out.

Maybe she should invite some friends over for a porch party!

I think the world could use a little porch time right now.

Close-Up

Eloise Josephine is determined to get my attention!! I don't think she is going to be camera shy.

Kallie

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! 

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.

Besties

True friends get up at 5 am..drive an hour and a half...set up a tent...hang a banner...and sit there for 10 hours telling everyone how wonderfully tasty your dog treats are! I am so lucky to have them!!!!!

Food O Rama 2016 was a definite success. Can't wait for next year!!!!!!!!!!!
