Treat your pups to Howl-oween Pumpkin Dog Treats. Made with pumpkin, applesauce, whole wheat flour and oats! Chloe & Gracie had play date with their cousins, Maddie & Zoe. They’re ready for Howl-oween and a few treats! I found dog sweaters for Howl-oween at T.J. Maxx back in August. The XS sizes were $5.99 and the medium…
I hope your weekend is just ducky! Our resident Mallards made a new friend recently. A domestic Pekin duck. . . They’re unable to fly, too heavy to get airborne. That combined with her lack of camouflage makes her a “sitting duck” on the lake. I breathe a sigh of relief when I see her swimming…
Happy Sunday! We took an early morning boat ride, enjoying the sunshine and a nap on the pontoon. Flying our flag for 9/11 with some plane contrails visible in the blue sky. Thank you all so much for your sweet comments on White Dog Therapy and your thoughts and prayers for our family. Your comments were so touching they…
Sometimes the best therapy comes on four legs. With unconditional love and licks. . . And a laugh when you need it. Maddie and Zoe were the best therapy for my mother-in-law after my father-in-law passed away. Perfectly sized at 4 and 8 lbs, to sit on her lap and keep her company. We kept them for a…

It’s dog gone hot here. . . thank goodness for air conditioning! We’re definitely in the Dog Days of summer. . . “Dog Days” are the hottest, most sultry days of summer. In the northern hemisphere, they usually fall between early July and early September. Dog Days can also define a time period or event that…
We haven’t been boating much this summer for one reason or another. But it’s one of our favorite things when it’s not too dog gone hot. Early mornings or late evenings are our preferred times for a ride, avoiding the heat of the day. There’s nothing like feeling the wind in our ears. . . Or…
I’m weighing anchor and sailing into summer with a little nautical fun on the pontoon! The summer boating season is definitely underway on the lake with our warm (hot!) weather. Towels provide a tablecloth and absorbent seating and pillows keep us anchored for a little nautical fun! Rope cocktail plates, purchased a couple of years ago from Pottery Barn,…
I’m celebrating the Red, White and Bloom in the Potting Shed this Memorial Day weekend. Endless Summer Hydrangeas put on a pretty flush of blue blooms in the last couple of weeks. I added some to a basket on the front door of my Potting Shed along with some Queen Anne’s Lace, free-for-the-picking, growing in the field next…
