Hi Nancy,

I love that I’ve found my digital community through this blog and I’m glad you find helpful hints through our newsletters. And I know our 5″ is nothing compared to many places…and it is already gone! But it sure was fun and lovely for the short time it was here. It will be 60 degrees today…one week after our 5″. 😉

Thanks for being a subscriber. I love this job of mine, but it wouldn’t be possible without readers like you!

Hugs, Lynn

Carla, I’m so jealous! It sounds like you grew up with Dr. Doolittle! Where did you live that you grew up with monkeys???

It’s definitely more time consuming, but I made my children’s food and it just became part of my routine. It’s the same with Elsa. It’s part of my routine now and I can’t imagine going back to straight kibble.

Growing up we lived in places where one couldn’t buy dog food (or any other kind of pet food) and since my dad was a veterinarian we always had an assortment of pets. The birds and monkeys we could feed local fruits, vegetables and grains and the horses, goats and rabbits ate the available grasses and other vegetation. But for the dogs we had to cook up a mixture of rice, vegetables (usually yams if they could be grown wherever we were) and beef or chicken. There weren’t any recipes involved and it was definitely a chore but the dogs thrived and we never had to worry about what was in it or what the various components might have been sprayed with or anything. Simpler times!

Aw, thanks Jill! I do love that fig and nut loaf, especially in small loaf pans. And then toasting it makes it hard to beat

And Elsa is a pretty girl, but boy, is she a nut! There’s no princess in that girl. The perfect example of ‘you can’t judge a book by its cover!’ She definitely keeps us on our toes more than any dog we’ve ever owned! Which is a good thing.

Thanks for all your kind comments! They are so appreciated.

Hugs,

Definitely going to try the fig and nut loaf and the rigatoni al forno thank you, but………that shot of Elsa in the snow is stunning!! That’s definitely a keeper! She’s really rather beautiful!!🤩

I enjoy many of the things you do and I always find a helpful hint to make my life easier! Off to walk the dogs in the snow (that we always have in the winter here in New England) 5 stars for sure!
