Woo! It's Flashback to Stuffing Time, a Canine Cooking Corner Thanksgiving Recipe, and Epi-Tip #21!

Image
This week coming up it's time for Thanksgiving preparations and turkey, sweet potatoes, green beans, the parade, and a food coma for all! So we thought it was fitting for our Flashback Friday photo to be one of my all-time favorites from 2010 when Harley was five, Gibson four, and the Pupsters were just mere pups at two! I had just placed the pan of stuffing on the kitchen window sill to cool off, when what should appear? Piercing blue eyes! Now while they could not have stuffing (onions and garlic - no-nos for the furkids), they did enjoy my recipe for their own Turkey MishMash! (Recipe below): And joining us this week is co-host, those beautiful Sibes and their mom from Love is Being Owned by a Husky blog! Be sure to stop by and visit them and our hoppers! And we do hope you'll grab some pics of "yesteryear" of your pets and join in our weekly hop as we stroll down Memory Lane.   Happy Almost Thanksgiving Flashback Friday!!!...

Gibbie Snacks - A Recipe for Healthy Treats ~and~ Our November Epi-Tip of the Day!

Image
"Gibbie Snacks," named after my Gibson and created by Vermont bakers at House Woof All Natural Dog Biscuits were formulated with the Epi-dog in mind, but are healthy, delicious bakery-made treats for all dogs! They never contain any preservatives, salt, wheat, or rosemary (all very important for Epi-dogs and dogs with allergies). Please remember to order some today for your dog's Thanksgiving treat and Christmas stocking or holiday gift ~ and the best part? It's a gift that gives back! (These freeze extremely well...if they stick around long enough!)   For every bag that House Woof sells of "Gibbie Snacks," they will donate $1 to TheWally Foundation~Canine Epilepsy . The Wally Foundation offers possible financial assistance for epilepsy medication to families/rescues/fosters of dogs diagnosed with idiopathic Canine Epilepsy. This is a great foundation and has helped so many Epi-dogs families already! I'm proud to be one of their volunteer Case Man...
