Hi y’all!

C’mon …… 

National Cook for your Pets Day …..

(Some of you are saying right about now ……

okay now she has really gone off the deep end, Ha!)

We all love love love our pets.❤️

And of course Riley and Trigger were such good little boys last night, what with all the little goblins ringing the door bell and all …..

So this day comes around each year on November 1st and reminds us to repay our pet’s loyalty and affection.

It’s really pretty simple …… 

This day is all about promoting good nutrition for our beloved pets. After all we want to improve their health and life ….. 

Now before you think you are Rachel Ray or go Iron Chef on your little pumpkins, remember to refer back to the many ‘people food and spices’ that can actually poison or be dangerous and should be avoided, a few basic ones are onions, avocado, garlic, salt, milk-based food, and chocolate.

You can also refer to http://www.vetinfo.com/dtoxin.htm or even consult your veterinarian. The ASPCA website has a great list too.

So as my two little pumpkins take time out today for nap-time …….

I will be whipping up a favorite little pumpkin treat for them. Oh my, won’t they be surprised!

Here’s a simple recipe,

• 2 1/2 Cups whole wheat flour
• 2 Eggs
• 1/2 Cup puree pumpkin (can pumpkin works)
• 2 Tbsp peanut butter (organic is better)
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl. You can add a little water to make it more workable but the dough needs to be on the dry and stiff side. Roll the dough and cut the dough into 1/2 inch pieces or use your pre-form baking dish. Cook for 35 – 45 minutes.

 

 

I know ….. I know …..

How can I resist!

 

Pets come in all forms, so get on-line, there are pet-friendly recipes for all types of pets; cats, birds and even bunny rabbits! 

Tonight, do something different ….. try a new recipe for your animal companions (and no I am not talking about your partner or spouse ….tee hee!) Make it a family affair, your kids will love it too!

Take time tonight to spoil your pets!

So yeah, tonight as I am settling in to watch some baseball ⚾️ ⚾️ ⚾️ ⚾️(Go Cubbies), and enjoy a nice glass (or two) of wine ….. the little guys will know how special they are to me!

Enjoy your pets, love your pets and here’s to starting or continuing a new yearly tradition, woof woof!

Sending you love, kindness and the sound of pitter patter 🐾🐾🐾🐾 from Texas y’all!
