Lucky Puppy Notes

I'm super excited to announce that I passed my therapy dog assessment today! Mama signed me up to volunteer once a month as a therapy dog to the assisted living or maybe even go to a library close by. The organization that we signed up with is called  Pet's on Wheels . It's going to be nice to be able to make other people happy. Our first event will be the end of July. We are looking forward to it and hopefully I behave myself as the good girl that I am. I'm just super excited!!!

I have a little brother now! His name is Stitch, named after Lilo & Stitch the movie. Mama's favorite character, he's so cute and FLUFFY!! He is also a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. He was born February 23, 2018. Mama and Dada adopted him on April 20th, the day when a lot of changes were happening at once. I was a little hesitant about the surprise little brother but happy at the same time to have someone to play with. He is a little aggressive with his playing when it comes to playing with me but a good puppy to have around to keep me on my toes. He is a big eater and is still learning how to use the bathroom outside. Hopefully, he learns faster than later cause man does his poop's smell really bad. Eww! The kiddos love him and already call him by Stitch. Sometimes the little one calls him Jade but I think it's just because she thinks all dogs are named Jade. I'm not complaining though. Atleast they haven't forgotten about me. I know I'm loved! =)

Mama has this fascination with all things dog related and she loves this Stitch character. We ended up watching most of the Stitch movies this weekend with the family, like Lilo & Stitch, Stitch has a Glitch, and Stitch the Movie. In these movies, he is considered an alien, however, Lilo adopted him as a dog in the movie and has been considered a dog this whole time!

Today is Lunar New Year, also known as the Year of the Dog. How awesome is it to be a dog this year. My family and I would like to wish everyone a great and prosperous  upcoming year, with lots of luck, health and wealth. The year of the dog is the 11th of the 12 year cycle in the Chinese zodiac calendar. Season : Autumn Element : Earth Dogs are the honest, loyal, and truest of friends. We are also super loving!

Jade's mom here! I always thought there was a huge process to make dog treats. When I started looking up recipes, I was like wow, I can do this with what I have in my kitchen. Really? Buying dog treats can get expensive and you don't really know what's in the store bought stuff that your feeding your dog. I would like my little Jade to live for as long as she can. I want to give her the best types of food possible, that is also within my budget. This past month, I've been experimenting on dog treat recipes with ingredients that I have at home. I use my kids applesauce, fresh fruit, flour, oatmeal, peanut butter and even coconut oil. Things that I eat as a human that I can feed to my fur baby. Also, I can spare 30 minutes over the weekend preparing treats for her, which can last for like 2-3 weeks. It's simple and save I noticed that, when I started feeding Jade these treats, her fur and skin has gotten a lot better. In addition, her breath has also been less s...

So I was a little rough with my yellow bone last week and ended up destroying it, like what most dogs do when when chew their toys for too long. Mama ended up buying me a new bone this weekend at the Target for $1.99, which is a great deal. It is similar in size to the one I had before. It doesn't squeek much and the kids love throwing it for me!

New recipe mama decided to try for my treats. Something a little different, to make them more solid and more like a biscuit. She even made them into different shapes using multiple cookie cutters. Ingredients: 2 cups all purpose flour 2 cups grounded oatmeal 1 pack Motts blueberry applesauce 1/4 cup fresh blueberries 1 container blueberry greek yogurt 2 tbs peanut butter 2 tbs coconut oil Directions: Grind up oatmeal finely in food processor Mix all ingredients together to make a dough. Roll out and cut out shapes using cookie cutters or whatever shape you would like to make with the dough Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.  Bake for 20 minutes and let cool inside of the oven. Hopefully your fur baby will enjoy these yummy biscuits!
