Hi, everyone -
Jessy is going to visiting with us again in about two weeks. Her pawrents are going to Florida and they are driving a car back here. We hope all of you had a Happy Easter. Here are some pictures.

In the meantime, if anyone is interested in making holistic treats for their pets here is a recipe that Mama got from a friend. She has not tried making these yet but thought she would share the recipe with anyone who is. Sorry for the different font. Mama just copied and pasted this to the post. Here is the recipe:
