Upset Tummy: the dog and the bag of treats

Tags

It was a hard candy kinda night last night when Sadie thought she hit the jackpot and quietly  decided to eat an open bag of little “greenies” breath buster bites.

Like any child left alone with their own bag of candy her eyes said one thing and later her tummy said another. So after her YES moment of glory we had to help fix the issue.

We find that the best remedy is a pumpkin chicken broth rice.
Now chicken broth can be a labor intense pressure cooker process but I will tell you the quick way to create it for your furry friend in need of a tummy fix.

Ingredients:
1 boneless chicken breast
2-3 cups water (or more depending on your sauce pan – you want to cover the chicken breast in the water when boiling)
3 Tablespoons Organic Pumpkin Puree (not the kind used in pumpkin pies but the organic 100% pure like this one we use Nummy Tum-Tum)
2 cups rice (boiled)
a small dash of salt

Directions:
Rinse the chicken breast under cold clean water.

Place the chicken breast in a saucepan large enough to hold the chicken breast. Add enough cold clean water 2-3 cup approximately to cover it. Add in a dash of salt.

Bring the water to the boil over high heat.

Reduce the heat to medium once water is boiling and cover the saucepan. Cook approximately 10 minutes over medium heat. Make sure the chicken meat is not pink and cooked properly.

Remove chicken breast from water and allow to rest. At least 5 minutes before shredding into small pieces. I use the leftover water to make my rice.

In another saucepan make your rice mixture.
2 Cups of Rice would need approximately 4 cups or water I
(rice is made at a 2:1 ratio) thus 2 cups water per one cup of rice.

Once the water and rice boils add in your 3 Tablespoons of Pumpkin Puree reduce your heat to very very low, mix well and cover the pan and allow the rice to absorb the water and pumpkin puree approximately 20 minutes depending on your grain of rice.

Once the rice is fluffy, add in your shredded chicken breast and serve in small portions once cool to the touch.

Do not worry if it takes time for your furry friend to be interested in eating again after a upset tummy, the pumpkin chicken broth rice will keep in the fridge and be easily reheated for when s/he is ready. Bone appetit.

PUMPKIN APPLE FROZEN DOG TREATS
Ingredients
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
1 small apple, peeled and remember to remove the core then chopped into small bits

1 tsp. honey (raw or pure organic honey is the best)
Water 2 small silicone molds (BOO) (skeletons and ghosts) 

Instructions
Add pumpkin puree, apple, coconut oil, and honey to a blender.

To create “pumpkin lines”:
press the flat side of a fork or knife gently in the center, or the curved side of a spoon gently on either side.

Bake for approximately 15 minutes.
Cool before serving or storing.

I wanted to wag the tale of my new kickstarter campaign. It is an affirmation happy thoughts calendar. It will last for 30 days starting today. If you want to check it out or help me spread the word I would sure appreciate it.

Mom is going to take some of the profits to help other dogs that are less fortunate than I am so that they might find a loving home too.

As always I wish everyone a year full of puppy kisses and tail wags.

My 5th birthday approaches next month, I can hardly believe I will be 5 years old!. According to a chart my mom found online … in human years that makes me 36. I think I should let my people know I need my own set of car keys so I can  drive myself to the store to buy the necessities in life like bones, balls, squeakies and treats. My people were so sweet they ordered me a birthday box from thebirthdaypuppy.com It was a surprise in a box.

Just look at the smile it brought to my face!

Wishing everyone a birthday smile as big as mine!
love
Sadie

As Easter and Passover come together in the calendar this year I wish the world “hope” for a better tomorrow. The world news has recently been ugly and seem to be hatred voracious feeders. With this spring we have hope that the world will turn towards a better tomorrow and change into the beautiful place that it can be.

We have been going through some changes in our house as well because my human has a very bad allergy. You can read about it here: https://salicylateallergy.wordpress.com/.

This change has been hard for me as some of my favorite foods have been banned from the kitchen. But this is just a change that has also brought some beauty into my life too. Now we are experimenting in the kitchen with a lot more meat and fish recipes which I think is a beautiful thing since I am the official house taster.  I will be having some new pet friendly recipe to share soon.

Wishing you all change, beauty, love and peace.

If Dogs Ruled: it would be a better place

Dogs should rule the world… it would be a better place: our national sport would be fetch and everyone could play no matter how slow, how overweight, or how uncoordinated you are… everyone would win!

There would be no wars or battles over religion or land, just friendly sniffing about and playing in the fields. There would be naps, belly rubs and free kisses for all.

Money would be a common currency of treats and tennis balls.

Size would not matter, BIG and small would be equal.

Life would be a beautiful place, can you hear it…can you speak it?

Woof what a wonderful thought indeed.
Love Sadie

Selfie | is it art or just memorex

art, cute, dog, Dogs, fun, humor, Life, love, philosophy, puppy love, selfie

Art is everywhere… and in today’s world there is a lot of art that is something called a #selfie.

So we decided what if we turned it around and made the art create the selfie. So mom made me into a cartoon that painted a selfie. So which is the art? The cartoon? The selfie or the multimedia image?

So if a selfie is a portrait then it is art right? Ir is it a cultural phenomenon? Or a reflection of the world we are living in…the malleability of our own brand identity? Or are we acting out our own fictional storyline?

What do you think? Is that a smartphone I see in your hand? ART! Or ARF!
Love SADIE

Be the Hero of your own story

art, dog, dog food recipe, Dog Recipe, Dogs, friends, fun, hero, humor, Life, motivate, puppy love

Today I had to be the hero of not just my own story but my two-legged mommy. We were cooking one of my favorite dishes and had a nasty accident. My mom was using a strange contraption called a mandolin which I thought was for playing music but found out it is for cutting potatoes.

We were having fun then IT happened! Mommy let out a yelp like I have never heard. There was lots of other words being yelled too but I am not allowed to use words like that. There was blood everywhere, I know I had to be the hero… I helped by telling the entire house there was need for a MEDIC!!!! Thanks to my alert we were able to ally pressure and slow the bleeding. Mommy threw that nasty mandolin in the trash and we made my dinner minus a piece of mommies little finger.

THE RECIPE

• 2 thin sliced potatoes (mom says do not use a Mandolin)
• 1 pound ground beef or turkey
• 1/2 cup carrots
• 1/2 cup broccoli
• 1 cup spinach
• 1 sweet potato
• 4 cups water or (beef/chicken broth)
• cheese (I like gouda but you can use any melty cheese)

  DIRECTIONS
  layer all your ingredients in a baking dish
  cook 350 degrees for 45 minutes

Now I am off to be a hero again and sit with mommy as she ices her boo boo finger. I am a good nurse who gives lots of kisses.

Waiting for Santa and other “pawsome” stuff

It is that time of year again, when we start the count down til Santa-paws comes to town! This time I am going to stay awake and watch him place all those goodies under the tree, for the last 4 years I have slept through it and I am determined to find out who he is and why he only comes once a year.

This year we are making Santa Chicken Waffles which is a dog friendly recipe!

The Grocery List:
1/2 cup Honey (you will want to to be runny)
1/2 cup Cooked Chicken Breasts (you will shred it up)
1 cup Gluten-Free Flour (we use Brown Rice Flour but you can use oat or other types)
1 cup Lactose-free Milk
1 Egg
1 t. Baking Powder

Direction:
In a large bowl crack the egg!
Whisk it up and
Add in the Lactose-free Milk
Whisk it up again
Add in the Honey
Whisk it up some more
Add in the gluten-free rice flour slowly while whisking so not to have lumps
you want the mixture to be moist but not too runny
Fold in your shredded cooked chicken pieces
add a little more lactose-free milk if it is too stiff but make sure it isn’t too runny

We cook ours in a waffle iron on #4

I like my waffles with a little un-sweetened apple sauce or when I have been sick with a little pumpkin puree. We have found a good product called Firmup by Diggin.

I am sure Santa-paws will love these as much as I do.

This year I have asked him for the following:
1. new blankie
1. new squeekie
1. new tiny ball
and lots of love to share with all the shelter pups so that they all find a fun forever home for the holidays and beyond!

I’m waiting, RIGHT HERE for new next 26 nite nites! Then I will stay up all night on the 27th day to see you fill my stocking!
