Nikki (1989-2007) was the coolest Cocker Spaniel in the world.
She let the kids dress her up anyway they wanted. Nikki was my cuddle bunny.

12.6.12 Thankful Thursday
If it is Thursday, then it must be Thankful Thursday Blog Hop day. I am hopping this from PepsiSmartDog’s Smart Dog Blog. Pepsi seems like a well educated dog, so go check out the site.
Last week was Thanksgiving holiday in the US, and I know that I said thank you to all my readers and for all the wonderful things that I am thankful for, but the truth is, every day that I wake up I am thankful. I do not think that I ever stop feeling blessed by this wonderful life that I have. My great family, the animals that surround me, my great neighborhood, my friends, my health, my job…. I am just one very lucky person. But since this is an animal blog, I think that I need to look at it from their side. So let me ask some of them:
Louise: I am thankful that I have a family that loves me and protects me; a Mom who understands that I am afraid of a lot of things and doesn’t make me deal with the world any more than I really can. I am also really thankful for being able to get up on the den couch.
Sofie: I am thankful for my sister Louise, and for my cats (that I love to chase), all my toys, and especially for my lovey, Beaver.
Noel: I am thankful for the nice warm spot that Mom leaves in her bed in the morning, so that I can crawl in it and sleep the rest of the day.
Stella: I am thankful for a bed to hide under.
What are you thankful for today?

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!

“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.”

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.
