Bought Whitney some new outfits today...so, Whitney fashion show below:
Whitney's new raincoat. The buttons are shaped like little ducks!
 Whitney in her new sweaters.
Two views of Whitney in her new hoodie...the wide-open eyes in the second picture are due to Naiya coming into sight...you can just make out the outline of her head on the side of the picture. Whitney is still back to her old self when I go to work during the day, which is such a relief. I did put down the rubber floor tiles in half the computer/sewing room and I put her puppy pads down on that part. If she does have to go, I am pretty sure she'll do so on the floor tiles, which is what they are there for. But, so far, that hasn't come up. There has also been no clawing at the door or chewing of carpet! I think the temporary separation anxiety was probably due to the fact that I'd had more vacation time last month than any time since I got her and she got used to having me around. But, after a week, things look to be back on track.

Oops, accidentally posted the larger version of that second hoodie pic instead of the one I cut down to post. I try not to post such large pictures when I am posting so many! I don't want to make the powers that be mad at me.

SG, I actually was matching her today...not the same outfit, just the same colors (shades of purple). It was completely unintentional, too. When I got home from work, I decided to take her out. It was too warm for her sweaters or hoodie, so I grabbed her newest T-shirt and dressed her in it. I didn't even realize we matched until we got outside!

This weekend I made up some dog biscuits. I thought I'd share the recipe with all of you. When Riley was still little he used to chew his feet. The vet said that it was often due to a corn or wheat allergy, they start with their feet and then chew other parts of their skin. It was a simple matter of switching him to a rice based food and sure enough, no more foot chewing. I've had trouble with finding rice based treats, so I found some recipes on line and switched things around, added other things, and have come up with this recipe that works, plus he LOVES them. LOL, yes, there were some batches he didn't like. 2 1/3 cups Rice Flour 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 cup grated cheese--like parmesan 1 large egg 1 tsp garlic powder or 1 tsp parsley flakes (parsley for good breath biscuits) 1/4 cup powdered milk 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 cup apple sauce (also can use baby food meat instead, but then you have to add water till it makes a good dough) Combine ingredients, mix well, flop on to greased cookie sheet and push to the ends. Score into bite size pieces with a sharp knife. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, turn off oven and leave in oven until completely cooled. Break apart and store in freezer bags or air tight container. Riley now has the applesauce/parsley type, and the chicken/garlic type. He loves them both.

Thanks for the recipe Secret. I'll have to try it out for Whitney. She isn't allergic to wheat, but is very finicky when it comes to dog treats and I've been thinking of makng my own for her. Umm...okay, I don't know how this happened, but apparently either Whitney or Naiya has learned to open the door to the computer/sewing room where I keep Whitney while I'm gone. When I got home from work Saturday, Whitney met me at the door, which confused me. But I thought that I had, perhaps, just not closed her door all the way. Today, before I went out, I made sure the door was closed all the way (even pulled on it to make sure it would pop open). When I got home, there she was, out of the room again. I don't really know what to do about it, since I have no idea how it is happening. I don't mind her being out, my only concern is that, since I live in an apartment, from time to time, maintenance comes in while I'm not here to do maintenance things. If she isn't confined to a room, then she might run out the front door looking for me, and she could get hurt or lost. I don't know, maybe I need to get a gate to go in front of the door? Does anybody else have door-opening dogs?

Found this recipe in a magazine & whipped up a batch for my dog today...made half per the recipe & added peanut butter to half...she went crazy for both. Seems like it makes a lot, i am freezing them and will dole them out gradually Yip Yap Banana Snaps Preheat oven to 400 Mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon in large bowl. Add 3/4 cup canola oil, 2 large ripe banana mashed, 1/2 cup honey & 1 large egg, mix until smooth. Fold in 1 3/4 cups rolled oats. Drop by rounded teaspoonful on ungreased cookie sheet & bake 12-15 minutes as mentioned i stirred in peanut butter but did not measure it out.

Yesterday, we visited the dog show that was here in town. And we got to meet and pet Gibson, the world's biggest dog. What a sweetheart. They put him nose to nose with a teacup chihuahua, and the Chihuahua was freaking out, but Gibson was "just let me smell it a bit more." He could have fit that poor chihuahuas whole family in his mouth. I just loved him, my kids loved him, what a fun day we had. http://www.appeal-democrat.com/

Interesting reading, but I wish they would have had some pix of Gibson that more accurately showed his size...maybe standing next to a car or the like.

He was so sweet. It wasn't until this morning I realized I was standing next to a celebrity. He is from right here in my neck of the woods too!
