Penny & her BFF Ethel

Ethel had a very nice post on her blog this weekend....just for Penny. Now that they've decided to be BFFs, I wanted to point out all of the fun facts about their friendship.


Ethel is very athletic...her passion is tennis balls.

Penny's athletic too...she prefers hiking.

Ethel wanted to know what Penny liked to eat. Well that's easy! Meatables! Just like Ethel!

And Fishables! Salmon or Jack Mackerel to be exact!

Ethel really LOVES her "big boned" brother Wally.

And she wanted to know if Penny loved Sherman too. Well...it used to be like this:

And this:

But...now it's like this (note sour puss on the chubby black one):

Yes, Penny loves Sherman...but only because he's her brother.

Mostly she loves her Mom (not that you can tell by her expression in this shot!).

I think Penny & Ethel are gonna make great BFFs. Kinda like these two...

One with golden locks and one with Raven hair.

Morph them together & you get something like this:

See, black hair on top, (fake) golden on the bottom. But they would never, EVER make such a Doofus face.

And they are SO much smarter than she...pretty much the rest of the world is.

Yum-O!!!

Yes, I like Rachel Ray...even if she is terribly overexposed.

In case you haven't noticed, the Bone Zone has added a Recipes Section under Fun Stuff (Thank you Dachsies for such a fabulous suggestion!!!). I was very excited about this because I love to bake...for the dogs. (Poor Scotty gets the shaft & has to eat store bought sweets b/c I refuse to measure anything & it always ends up awful!)

What I didn't know is DWBs already had a Tried & True Recipes section on the homepage! I recall reading about Sunshade's Turkey Biscotti a while ago but never made it because I couldn't find it again on her blog. Lucky for us...it was on DWBs!!

And even luckier...I have all the stuff at home to make them (sort of)!! It's a pretty simple list:

1 lb of minced turkey meat (I used lean ground beef)

1 cup of quick oats (I used buckwheat flour)

2 large eggs

1 tbs of minced garlic (I used garlic powder...2 big shakes)

125 g of Parmesan cheese (I used 1/2 cup)

2 tbs of oil of your choice (I used EVOO)

0.5 cup of water (I used a big splash)



SEE WHY I LOVE BAKING FOR DOGS...YOU JUST MAKE WHATEVER SUBSTITUTIONS YOU NEED!

In a blender, blend turkey and eggs until as smooth as possible Pour into a large mixing bowl, add in the rest of the ingredients and mix well. (I just smooshed everything together with my hands). Spread batter on a cookie sheet (well greased with vegetable oil) or in a 9 X 12 pan about 1/3 inch in thickness. Bake at 350 F until no longer wet looking inside. Approximately 45 minutes for one pan (varies from oven to oven). Cut into small pieces after it's been cooled. Keep refrigerated or in the freezer.

Here is the end result! Like a big, dry meatloaf!

And chopped into squares...you have Sunshade's Beef Biscotti Brownies!

I also made a variation on my Garlic Cheesy Cookies (I added Salmon).

And some Liver Brownies for Penny.

It was a regular doggie buffet!!


The Dogs will do anything for these goodies. Even sit close to one another.

OR, even closer...Sherman is actually letting Lola touch him!

Happy Eating!!!

Thanks Sparky!

That sweet little puggle, Sparky has nominated this shot of Lola as Photo of the Month over at the Bone Zone. I call it "Lola in Tad Sweater".

There are lots of great pictures nominated. Of course Lola would like you to vote for her, but we think it's more important that you Just Vote! Besides, she's gotten used to gettin' beat out by other worthy DWBs...she's been calling herself Susan Lucci.

Vote Doggies Vote!!

TGIF!!

It's been a very long week and we are all looking forward to a little rest & relaxation this weekend. We will be doing a lot of this:

And this:

Oh and lots of eating, chewing, chasing balls and hunting in the forest.

Have a great weekend EveryPup!!

The little green monster

Miss Penny is just a weeee bit jealous of all of the attention Sherman & Lola have been getting lately.

"Sherman is so good lookin' & funny with his stuffie...blah, blah, blah.

Lola is such a goof ball & adorable in her Tad sweater...yeah, yeah, yeah.


Might I remind you all...I'm funny with my stuff.




I'm good lookin'

I'm adorable

AND I'm a goof ball.

PLUS! I have a super handsome Boyfriend named Peanut, a Spanish boyFriend named Pippa and lots of doggies want to be my BFF!! (Ethel & I have kind of a special connection though...we're fast, skinny, long-legged and have chubby, grumpy brothers).

So....NO Sherman OR Lola today. Just Penny. Shhhhesh! It's tough being the middle child. I feel like Jan Brady!

Thank you Ruby!!

The most FABULOUS Ruby Blue thinks I'm Rockin' and I don't have to share it with stoopid Sherman or Stoopid Lola. So I'm NOT!



Thank you Ruby! You Rock too!!

Not for Massah!!!

MASSAH! You are not allowed to read this! It's PRIVATE, 'kay?

Mom is always saying "Not For Lola" about things I'm not allowed to have (which I think is very stupid...EVERYTHING should be for Lola!) But now I can say Not For Massah!! You can read posts again tomorrow.

Do as the Diva says...


So a couple pups wanted to know about the secret present Tadpole sent me. I wasn't gonna tell, but figured I share everything else with you guys...why not? Plus you'll probably be a little jealous. And Divas love making people jealous.

Here it is. Tadpole sent me one of his sweaters!!! I do get a little cold in the winter because my fur is very short. I thought that was very considerate of him.

Isn't it cute?

I sniffed it all over (and chewed on it a bit) and let me tell you...it smelled very manly. I couldn't wait to put it on!!!!

But there was one little problem.

Um, Tadpole? It doesn't fit.

Shoot!! Mom hung it in my jail so I could smell Tad all morning while I wait for her to come home. It's BETTER than a picture of him!!

So there it is. Sorry...I'm not very good a keeping secrets.

But with a face like this...who cares!!

And...Charlie & CoCo are back!!! Yeah! I thought when they moved to Kansas City they were leaving all of their blogger buddies behind. But they came back! Yahooie!

Stop by & welcome them home.

New Favorite Stuffie

So Sherman's absolute favorite toy is this giant hedgehog I bought him for Xmas. Unbelievably it's still intact. The grunter is gone, which is a good thing as he likes to throw it around at 11:30 at night & 5:00 in the morning.




But Tadpole sent him this new Moo Cow toy that he is obsessed with. Not only does he squeak it constantly, but he suckles on the ears & legs.

And he sleeps with it. I actually found him like this!!

Occasionally Lola will steal it.

But that crafty Sherman steals it right back & protects BOTH of his toys!

"I've decided that you're all right Tadpole. Even if you DO like Lola.

Thanks for my new favorite Stuffie!!"

Does this look like a nice guy to you????

Me either.

Something good happened today.





Throw the freakin' book at him...better yet, throw the whole damn library!


I want BAD things to happen to this man. Very bad things. I believe in Karma. I hope it bites him in the ass. Suffer the fate of your poor dogs, Michael Vick.


That's all I have to say about that.

SCORE!!

I've been trying to clean out my big deep freezer. It's like the Bermuda Triangle. I put stuff in, never to to find it again. You'll never guess what I found buried in the bottom of it???

Chicken Feet!

I bought these over a year ago from Hare Today & totally forgot about them. So I immediately defrosted them and the Dogs had a feast.

Doesn't that look yummy?????




Lola never quite knows what to do with them at first.


But she catches on quickly. Doofus face.
(yes, those are scissors I am picking them up with. I'm not touching those nasty things! No pup was harmed in the feeding of chicken feet.)

Penny has no problem and will crunch down a foot in about 3 seconds.

And Sherman...well let's just say it doesn't take him long either.

So if you Pups have never tried chicken feet, you MUST beg your folks for some!

Lord Stanley of the Republic of Gooberstan has tagged Sherman to name 5 things we would put in a time capsule for the benefit of future Dogs.

1. The Poop Bag Sack - Mom & Dad carry this on each & every walk to clean up after me. Poop Bag Sack = walkies!! Plus, it's essential to promote proper Poop Etiquette to future generations.

2. One of the many millions of moles I have killed for Mom's lunch.

3. A turkey neck...oh wait, that would mean I wouldn't have eaten it. Scratch that. A PICTURE of a turkey neck.

4. My giant hedgehog...I will spare him now that I have a new favorite toy thanks to T.P.

5. A giant ball of Sherman fur gently removed with the Furminator. Furminator = liver brownies. Brush away!!

Now I'm tagging Duke (because he's black & cool like Wally & I), Sophie La Brador (b/c she has a crush on Wally) & CoCo (because she's pretty ::blush::. Don't worry Dot...just looking.).

What are you leaving behind for the future?

Who broke the screen????

The screen door leading onto the front deck is about 50 years old. We've been meaning to replace it for a while, but the Dogs gave us a reason get off our butts & just do it.

Someone must have jumped up on the door to tell off one of the neighbors and broke through.

"I didn't break the screen!"

"Well WE certainly didn't break the screen!!"

If I had to put money on it...I'd say it was the little white one.
