I’ve written before about how picky Delia is about her food. I’m sure she is the pickiest eater on the planet. Each time I think we’ve found a food she likes, she turns the tables on me and stops eating it. Until we found Freshpet. She has been eating Freshpet food consistently for nearly a year, now. So, I was excited when we won a BarkPost contest for Freshpet food! We love BarkPost AND Freshpet, so it was a double {Read More}

I’m a little bit obsessive about Delia and Chewy’s nutrition. They both get bored with their food easily, so I’m always looking for nutritious, natural foods for them to try.

Turkey Dinner Meatloaf For Dogs
November 23, 2015 by 2 Comments
I love to cook for my dogs and to make special meals for them during the holidays or just because they are awesome. With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up, I whipped up an easy-to-make turkey dinner meatloaf. They both loved it, so we thought we would share it with you! After baking and cooling, the sweet potatoes can be added to the top of the loaf as an “icing.” Chewy likes the sweet potato topping, but Delia doesn’t, so I {Read More}

A few weeks ago we attended the 2015 BlogPaws conference in Nashville, TN. This was my second BlogPaws conference, but Delia and Chewy’s first.

They mastered the elevators and knew how to find our room by the first night. Our room had a balcony and they enjoyed {Read More}
Help Stop Breeding Misery in Puppy Mills
May 5, 2015 by Leave a Comment
A few years ago, the shelter I volunteered with rescued dogs at a Missouri puppy mill auction. The puppy mill, which was once Missouri’s largest, was being forced to close and they were selling their “stock.” The dogs were in terrible condition, yet they still charged insane amounts for the dogs to be saved. Staff and volunteers worked hard at assessing, bathing, grooming and setting up warm, soft places for the dogs to rest. Several were sent immediately for emergency veterinary care. Filthy, {Read More}
