Halloween Costume

Just bought the dogs a new Halloween Costume. Target has all costumes 15% off right now!

Neither is too excited about wearing it. They thought it was a stuffed toy and tried to rip the gladiator off the costume.

Not sure how long they'll end up wearing the costume, but I'll still give it a try.

Treats!

I'm sill working on Peabody Snarflenubbins and Co. I swear! I really am! If you don't understand what that sentence means (for my newer readers) look here for background info and here for links to reviews from my wonderful taste testers!

I'm hoping by next week to really have the shop up and running. I'm even going to give my readers a discount for being so patient. Summer just went by so quickly and schools already been in for a month! I'm trying to get into the swing of writing lesson plans and grading papers, and working two jobs, and having a home life. I'm hoping by next week I can have a schedule worked out with Wednesday being my designated baking night.

ANYWAY! I made some Barkin' Banana Biscotti yesterday so I could finally send them to my paws it forward people. (These were a Gibson Favorite! If you haven't seen the video, you should watch it!) I am SO sorry that it's taken so long!

I modified the recipe and included peanut butter and instead of long rods I made them into big bones.

I made all three sizes, and the little ones I turned into peanut butter sandwiches!

I decided to make them a little differently because I picked up this three pack of dog bone cookie cutters from PetSmart. They were $7.99 - a little more than I'd like to have spent, but I suppose the Martha Stewart brand is pricey, and I'm a sucker for Martha! The web page even offers some recipes! I think I'll have to try those out as well!

They got the Bender and Bones seal of approval so I hope Dexter and Bronwyn, Dylan, and Rhiannon enjoy them!

Lazer beam boys want noms!

Bones wasting no time. Gone in 3 bites!

Bender pushing me away. "No photos ma! I'm busy with the noms!"

Reverse Sneezing

Poor Bender. He had a pretty long bout of reverse sneezing tonight.

"Ma, makes it stop! I don't yike it!"

I remember the first time he did this we were on a walk. I didn't know what to make of it. I thought he inhaled a bug or a weed or was possibly getting ready to hack up a lung.

Here's the youtube video link.

Usually I don't sit there and tape it. Usually when this happens I'm lying on the floor with him trying to calm and reassure him.

Bender - Dumbo Ears

This video was taken a while ago, but it still makes me giggle. I love that he yawns and lets it keep happening.

Looks ma! I cans almost fly!
