Valentine’s Day

Napping before the "Big Date"

This year was my first time to celebrate Valentine’s Day. I recently began dating this beautiful dilute calico named Eleanor. I met her through one of the other girls I work with. She is a little older than me, but Dr.Dallas told me that age shouldn’t matter if I really like her.

Before I did anything I had to take a  long nap with Monkey and Chicken so I could be well rested to impress Eleanor

Check out how suave I am...

with how charming and sophisticated I am. I called my seamstress to stop by to fit me for a tie…

We began our evening by catching the classic flick “Lady and the Tramp”. The movie was good, but we thought it would be so much better if the lead actors were cats instead of dogs. We then shared a lovely meal made by Hill’s Prescription Diet. I had the r/d since I am currently on a diet, and she had the d/d venison and green pea because of her food allergies. When she got up to use the litter box I sneaked a

Hope your V-Day was great!!! Mine was!

taste of the venison and green pea…I can say it was much better than my r/d. At the end of the night Eleanor and I said a sweet goodbye and I hope she’ll hang out with me again sometime real soon.

I had to taste the batter...Yum!

My friend, Cora, called me this morning and said she was going to stop by for some milk and biscuits on her afternoon walk. You’ll be very proud of me because I decided to make the biscuits rather than buy them this time.  I tried these recipes on some of my other friends, Emma and Jake, and they loved it.

I asked Dr. Dallas to do the hard parts - Thanks Man!

One thing I learned while I was baking is that you have to pay attention! I burnt the first batch because I fell asleep and forgot to set the timer! Shawna wasn’t very happy with me when she heard the screeching sound from the smoke alarm. My second batch went better, but I had to enlist the help of Dr. Dallas for stirring the bowl.

Let me know how you like these. I am working on another recipe and once I get it perfected I will post it!

My friend Olivia made this apron for me

Take care and happy treats!

Mo’s Veggie Thins Dog Biscuit Treats

by Mo of “a” street animal clinic

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/4 cup dry milk powder
• 2 tablespoons dry milk powder (+ more)
• 1 vegetable cube or packet
• 1/4 cup boiling water
• 2 tablespoons boiling water (+more)
• 1/4 cup safflower oil
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar (not packed)
• 1/4 cup carrots, shredded or ground
• 1/2 egg or egg substitute
• additional flour for dusting

At one point I had to have Monkey give me a hand

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 300 F
• Dissolve veggie cube or packet in the boiling water. Mix dry ingredients together; mix wet ingredients separately, except egg. Pour wet ingredients into dry; mix lightly. Add a well in the center and add egg. Mix.
• Place dough on a lightly floured surface, sprinkle a little flour on top. Roll out to not more than 1/8″. To avoid dough sticking to rolling pin, sprinkle a little flour on top of dough. The key is not to use too much flour (they will puff up otherwise).
• Cut out shapes with cookie cutter.
• Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes. Turn them over and bake another 10 minutes.
• Cool on wire racks. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy

Looks like Cora likes the batter. We'll see if she likes the cookies...

Ingredients:

• 2 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 4-5 tablespoons water

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400 F

• Combine flour, cheese, and vegetable oil in a food processor. Cover and whirl until mixture is a consistency of coarse meal. With machine running slowly add water until mixture forms a ball.
• Roll out dough to approximately 1/8″ and cut into desired shapes.
•  Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy

I think she does like it!

I’m in a Pickle

What goin' on in here?

I saw this lying on the floor yesterday afternoon.

I said to myself “Self, why is this placed here on the floor where I usually like to

Oh...it's just a bag

hang out after lunch? I should investigate this…”

So, I begin to examine this situation. I’m hopeful there is something in here for

Well there isn't anything in here!

me! ……….Of course there isn’t anything fun in here.

I definitely need to shed a few ounces…ahh shucks!

My New Year’s Resolutions

I'm rockin this hat!!

Well I didn’t make it to midnight on New Year’s Eve but I stayed festive and sported my new hat! I had a crazy night full of treats, wine, toys, and goldfish crackers !

I thought I might go with the traditional New Year’s Resolution and work on loosing a few ounces but then I decided everyone picks that so I made a list of resolutions that are things I need to work on and would like your help in deciding which ones I should pick…

1. Spend less time in the bathroom getting ready in the morning
2. Do more sit-ups and work on strengthening my core (I’m getting a little waist-waddle)
3. Keep my nails short and manicured at all times
4. Come when called and not ignore my bosses when they want me
5. Eat all of my CET Chew and not just the yummiest part (I need to work on better dental health since I can’t brush my teeth)

I hope everyone has a good 2012 and remember to schedule your pet’s annual wellness exam this year with Dr. Dallas. We hope to see you at “a” street animal clinic soon.

Cheers – Mo
