It’s been a good weekend so far, productive and catching up on stuff around the house. Skipper’s vet appointment yesterday went okay, his blood sugar is still too high so his insulin dose has been increased and he goes back for another follow up next week. Giving him his insulin shots is getting tough, he’s […]
Raw Balsamic Butternut Soup
Thank goodness Friday is almost here, I’m ready. And tomorrow is a big day for Skipper, he goes to an all day vet appointment to test his blood sugar, plasma, and other stuff to find out what’s going on with his canine diabetes and if the current insulin dosage is working. I feel bad about […]
Carrot Mustard Dressing
I’m not a fun person to be around when I’m running on a lack of sleep. I got woken up twice in the middle of the night when Skipper heard something in the backyard and decided to tell us all about it in barking fits. Then I got blasted out of bed 30 minutes before […]
Curried Edamame Quinoa
Well, here we are back to Monday. Yay. The weekend buzzed by too quick as usual, but it was a packed and fun weekend. Saturday I ran around on errands and to the gym and crammed in chores before leaving in the afternoon to start the 2 hour drive to Escalon for hubby’s band gig. […]
Indian Feast
I’m glad the weekend is here, but it’s gonna be a busy one for us with housework, errands, a long run for half marathon training, and a big gig for hubby’s band that involves a lot of driving and planning. I love all the activities, but will also enjoy a little downtime after a hectic […]
Savory Dijon Dressing
I’m glad it’s a short work week, but I still feel like I’m getting my bump of direction after the long and full weekend. I was slightly cranky today after not getting a great night’s sleep for some reason. Hopefully I’ll make up for it tonight. Last week I impulsed purchased a new flavor of […]
First Race Award and Wheat Berry Salad
No luck with getting Skipper to use his doghouse in the backyard yet, but Miko is happy to claim it! I’m hoping to get Skipper comfortable in it soon because it started raining early this morning and Skipper let us know he was not happy about it in the backyard even though he was under […]
Creamy Balsamic Quinoa
Happy long Labor Day weekend! It’s been a leisurely day here with a trip to the gym, Whole Foods, and dog walks. But poor Skipper is getting a little tired of the summer heat, he crashed in grassy shady spots a few times during today’s walk. It took some gentle coaxing to get him moving […]
Sweet Curry Ice Cream
Ah, Friday eve finally. And Miko is ready to party, we had an intense play session when I got home from the gym with his favorite dirty pig toy. It might be time to put it through the wash again. Shadow just watched the craziness, I think he might have rolled his eyes a few […]
Creamy Cumin Dressing
Monday is gone, but so is the weekend. I’m ready for the long Labor Day weekend already! We’re just chilling here and Skipper is still content and relaxed. Now if we can get him to sleep better in the backyard at night, that would be great! He was restless last night and barked to come […]
