Wordless Wednesday: The Dog Train
For some strange reason they were sleeping in a line in the same position in front of the dog beds. It looked to me like a train. I had to put 3 pictures together so that you could see both of them in the line.
Bark Out Loud!
Made me laugh, but guess I am easily amused.
Happy Wednesday!

Wordless Wednesday: Enough Boomers Already!
Mommy thinks that this stretchy shirt thingy will make me feel less crazy when the big boomers start outside the window. She says that there are elves in the sky rolling balls into pins and when they hit them it makes those big smashing sounds. I am not sure that I believe her but the shirt does make me kind of sleepy. I really only feel better when I am lying on Mommy’s feet and, of course, when they stop making all that racket.
And then just when the thunder stopped there was all these crack crack crack sounds from the house next door. Mommy said that it was a silly holiday where people like to blow themselves up and shoot gun powder into the air. Bowling elves in the sky and then crackers. Where’s a girl to hide? Oh, Peanut’s bed, of course, with Louise and Nine. We were all kind of shook up. Why don’t people do anything quietly!
We are speechless! Thank you, Peanut, for saving us, and Mommy, for my new thunder shirt.
Happy Wednesday!

Wordless Wednesday: Transporting Baby
Peanut and I transported this very cute and shy pocket pittie from a shelter in Delaware to a foster home in Maryland. We called her ‘Baby.’ She was such a sweetie. Would you have room in your heart for her? If so, please contact Canine Nation. She brightened our day. No words are needed to see how happy she was from some attention. She did not want to leave us when we dropped her off.
Happy Wednesday!

Wordless Wednesday: Not Me!
For some reason, Sofie will go in everyone else’s pool but her own. Louise, who won’t go in most pools does like her own (well at least if Mom steps in to get her started). Go figure?

Tasty Tuesday: DogDaz Chicken & Rice
If you are a regular DogDaz blog reader then you know that Louise has a very sensitive stomach and Sofie has developed allergies to “who knows what and possibly everything.” Every once and a while, I give their tummies a break with my simple DogDaz chicken and rice dinner. This is not their regular diet since I do not add the required vitamins and minerals that a dog should have to maintain good health. I use this to get their systems back on track. Some people say to fast your animal for 24 hours before starting any change, but I don’t do that. If your fur-baby’s tummy is out of whack, you might want to try this for a couple of days.
Note: Please make sure to get your dog proper animal care with a Vet when they are feeling poorly. This post is by no means a cure for anything. I believe that food is medicine, and medicine is food and just wanted to share a simple tummy tamer.
Ingredients (for 12 cups):
4 pieces plain boiled CHICKEN (As lean as possible. I cut all the fat and skin off.)
1 cup white RICE
(Optional) 1/2 to 3/4 cup 100% pure PUMPKIN (NOT pumpkin pie mix, which is full of sugar and other stuff)
Directions:
Time to prepare: about 90 minutes all together
1. Prepare the Chicken
– Boil water (DO NOT ADD SALT. Dogs do not need salt and too much can cause sodium ion poisoning).
– When boiling, reduce heat to simmer, cover pot and cook about 30 minutes or until the meat basically falls off the bone.
– Remove chicken and let cool.
– Save the broth (you will need some later and it also makes great chicken soup stock). Skim the fat from the cooled chicken broth for the rice.
– When cooled, debone the chicken into small chunks and get rid of any still remaining skin or fat. (Think LEAN.)
2. Prepare the Rice
– Measure 2.5 cups (591.47 ml) of the broth (from previous step) into a pan and bring to a boil.
– Add 1 cup (236.58 ml) of white rice (easiest to digest for upset tummy) to broth and reboil. Then cover tightly and simmer for 20 minutes.
– The rice will be soggy and soft when done.
– Let rice cool.
3. Mix Chicken and Rice
– Add the rice to the chicken and blend them together with a fork.
4. Add Pumplin (with or without help from a cat)
5. Feed hungry dogs
– How much you feed them depends on the dog’s size, I give Louise (who is 58 lbs) 1 1/2 cups and Sofie (47 lbs) 2/3 cup, but don’t have any idea of the calorie or protein count.
– Mix with at least 1/4 cup of warm water to make it saucy.
