12.4.12 Tasty Tuesday: Peanut Butter Pumpkin Cookies
We are joining the Tasty Tuesday Blog Hop thanks to Hey, It’s Jet Here. Please hop over to visit Jet and tell him DogDaz sent you. Jet, JJ, and their human make some tasty stuff over there in Casa Jet.
So… for our first Tasty Tuesday, we want to share the Peanut Butter Pumpkin Cookies that we made for Sofie’s birthday this year. We found the recipe somewhere on the internet (can’t find the link, sorry) and then improvised the rest. They were yummy good, and since Sofie doesn’t like cookies very much I needed to make sure they were peanut buttery and extra special.
Ingredients for about 25 cookies
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk together the flour, eggs, pumpkin, peanut butter, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Add water as needed to help make the dough workable, but the dough should be dry and stiff. Roll the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick roll. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Bake in preheated oven until hard, about 40 minutes.
I cut them into stars. The girls thought they were dog yummy!

12.3.12 Monday Mischief: Yard Work
“You won’t mind if we try a little excavating under this railroad tie, Mom, would you?”
“There appears to be some weird creature under the grass and we really want to help it escape from underground.”

This is my first blog hop. I hopped it from 2 Brown Dawgs Blog. Check them out for more mischief.
Monday’s Ural Owls

She looks sweet grooming her chick, but don’t mess with mom’s nest: Ural owls are aggressively territorial. “I’ve made an ‘agreement’ with the females that the price to band and measure one nestling is six hard punches on the head,” says Finnish ornithologist Pertti Saurola.
12.2.12 Meet Pickles
Pickles the Puppy
Meet Pickles. She is my friends Mastiff/boxer. The sweetest giant headed thing you will ever meet. I thought she would grow into that head, but it just kept getting bigger, along with the rest of her. She is about 90 lbs now and solid muscle. I was playing tug with her the other day (big mistake on my part), and she almost dragged me across the room. They are thinking of getting another one and naming him or her, “Relish.” You just have to love it!

12.1.12 Caturday: A Muffin Day
They say that cats sleep about 18 hours of the day but Muffy probably sleeps 23. Now that is a job that I would like to have. We were trying to create a counting book with Muffin and the Snowballs one season (here is Muffin with 3 and Muffin with 4), but I ran out of Snowballs. The cats you may not recognize with him in some of the pictures are: on the left, Gertrude, she passed in 2007, and on the right, Zachary, who passed in 2010. I don’t know what it is about sleeping in my pocketbooks, but it sure can not be comfortable. Those cats sure love FISH TV in our zoo.
