Jessy is visiting us again

Hi, everyone -

Jessy is visiting us this weekend.  My "aunt" had to go to a funeral.  We are having so much fun driving Mama insane.  Today Papa has the day off and we are driving him insane too.  

Papa is making another wooden boat.  He is now cutting the pieces to put the boat together.  He is planning to use this boat for the "Meet at the Beach" weekend in June.  

We don't have any new pictures because the digital camera needs batteries.  We hope you all are having a great weekend!

Love,

Hershey, Kaci, Jessy and Mama

Jessy will be visiting us again

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.  They were made for us by one of our Dogster pup pals,  Aregon Spunky and Casper.  They also started a blog which hasn't been up very long.  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:

These basic biscuits can be customized to cater to your canine’s palette

Ingredients
• 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour (substitute regular flour or oats if your dog is sensitive to wheat)
• 1 tsp. salt (or less)
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. Beef or chicken Bouillon granules (can substitute beef or chicken broth/stock)
• ½ cup hot water

Optional Add ins
• Bacon or chicken broth, eggs, oats, liver powder, wheat germ or the other supplements discussed, shredded cheese, bacon bits, fresh herbs, dehydrated bits of apple, banana or blueberry all unsweetened, etc.,.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Dissolve bouillon in hot water

3. Add remaining ingredients
4. Knead dough until it forms a ball (approximately 3 minutes)
5. Roll dough until ½ inch thick
6. Cut into slices or bone shapes (you can purchase a bone shaped cookie cutter to make shapes with)
7. Place dough pieces on lightly greased cookie sheet
8. Cook for 30 minutes but check mid-way through as my oven is old and times may vary!

A "wild" assortment of newer pictures

Hi, everyone -

Sorry we have been a little behind in blogging.  Things have been crazy around here lately.  Here are some of the latest things Kaci and I have done:

First of all, as some of you may know there is a new four legged member in my (Hershey's) family.  My "aunt" and "uncle" got a puppy last summer.  Her name is Jessy and she is extremely energetic.  She is not even a year old and has made life very interesting for her pawrents.

Recently, Grammy celebrated her birthday.  Mama being the tactful person she is does not want to disclose her age.  She will only say that Grammy is in her mid 80's.

The last and really wild thing happened in my back yard.  During a recent snowstorm in February (which was  not a fun one because we had both rain and snow) one of the trees in our next door neighbor's yard uprooted itself and landed partially on the roof of the back of their house.  Papa decided to move our car further back in the driveway because he was pretty nervous about that tree.  It's a good thing he did because our car could have been wiped out in our own driveway.  Anyway, here are some pictures:

The first is Jessy playing with her treat toy, the second is her in the hallway of our house being nosey.  The next two are of the tree in our neighbor's yard.  The last three are of Jessy.  The first two were from her first visit and the last three are from her second visit.  The first is the lesser "devil version" of her and I on the couch.  The second and third are her posing "innocently" in our kitchen.

Sorry we don't have any pictures of Grammy's birthday party.  The humans went out to eat for her birthday while Kaci and I were home.  Enjoy the pictures, everyone.

Love -

Hershey
