Laurel Holiday Parade

in line for the parade

On Saturday, December 1, 2018, mama and I volunteered to do the Laurel Holiday Parade in the cold and rainy weather, representing Pet's on Wheels as therapy dogs. It was our first time working a parade and we had a pawsome time. I met a new friend from the volunteer group, his name is Swiffer with his owner Sarah. We lined up behind the cheer leaders. There were about 6 groups of us walking the parade and there were people lined up during the route to wave at us. The police officers were really nice, stopping traffic for us to walk down the road. We walked from the Municipal Center to the Armory, I believe it was about a little over a mile walk. Great exercise for all of us!

When we got to the Armory. They have activities for the kids and the food truck was serving free hot chocolate and hot apply cider. Swiffer and his owner Sarah were great to walk with, we got to know them pretty well. Swiffer really liked to sniff and mark pretty much anything that was an inanimate standing object. LOL.

When I got home, I was pretty wet from the rain and had a lovely nap. =)

Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Coconut Oil and Banana Dog Treats

Before the year ended I finished all the dog treats mama had made for me a couple of weeks ago. So she tried a new recipe but added a few things. Mama ran out of the baby oatmeal from the last batch. So she used regular Quaker oats and used the food processor to grind it finely. Anyways, we hope you enjoy making these treats as much as we did. Ingredients: 1 1/4 cup Oatmeal 1/4 cup peanut butter 3 tablespoon Coconut Oil 1 medium banana Directions: Grind up oatmeal. Place in large bowl, mix in banana, coconut oil, and peanut butter. Create small balls and and then flatten them with a spoon Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 15-20 minutes. When done, leave in oven to cool. This makes the treats firm up.

Loyal Companion Grand Opening

Mama went to the grand opening of Loyal Companion this weekend in Rockville, Md. She picked up a free goodie bag with new treats and bought us some small toys. I already chewed up and tore up my blue birdy. Sister got the unicorn and we have the sock monkey left to play with. I can't wait for mama to open up the new treats for us to munch on~!

Grooming Stitch

Last week, mama went through a phase where she brushed me for a whole week, since I was shedding so much. Mom was so frustrated with my undercoat. Mama here: I researched how to get Stitch's shedding under control. I watched a youtube video of this lady, who has 14 corgis, showing her weekly routine of what she would do to keep her corgi's coat under control and keeping them beautiful. Brushing with a brush, then with an undercoat comb, she used conditioner's and paw balm. I can also use this technique on Jade, even though her grooming is a lot easier for me. Anyways, mom bought the undercoat comb (target, $6.99), after brushing me for a week and combed me out in the backyard. I had so much fur come off of me, that it could have been another small dog. I felt so much better afterwards too! Then she bought waterless foam shampoo by wahl ($5.99) for me and cleaned me up last night. The smell was coconut lime verbana. She rubbed it thoroughly into my coat
