sadie17springAs 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.

SAdie_mrcotontailNow I am one smart dog, after all I am almost 3 years old, but these holidays are a bit confusing to me. Every year around this time of year we pull out all my bunny and lamb toys and sometimes wait in line to see a HUGE rabbit.

The two-leggers often eat chocolate eggs that ooze out sweet smelling creams and tell me no-no you can’t have that! Well, if there is a real Easter Bunny I know he would surely let me have one of those chocolate bunnies too. So this year I am sending him a letter to ask for a carob chocolate egg.

I even have sent him the recipe! If you would like to try it out please feel free to mix some up this easter for your four-legger.

Grain Free PB & Carob Pup Egg Recipe

  • 1 banana
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 c. natural, unsweetened peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 c. Garbanzo Bean Flour
  • 1 c. Carob Chips
    Instructions:
  • Per-heat the oven 350 F (you can line the baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with PAM
  • Mash up the banana until silky smooth (the ripe ones work well)
  • Add in the Peanut Butter and Eggs, stir til well blended
  • Mix in the flour

Roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface to 3/16″ – 1/4″ thick.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. I want mine to be egg shaped but you can make it into any shape you would like.

Cut paw prints out of each cookie.

Bake 10 minutes, flip… bake for 5 – 10 minutes more til a light golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Once cookies are cool to touch. Melt the carob chips, stirring constantly. Remove the carob from heat just before you think it is fully melted.

Fill a piping bag, with melted carob. Fill each paw opening with carob and allow to cool until hard set. If you do not want to do paw prints you can cover the top of the egg shape and make it look like the carob is melting down the cookie!

Mr Easter Bunny get baking! I will be waiting for my cookies!

Easter and Passover Dog Tips

It is that time of year again when all the two-leggers either hunt for brightly colored eggs and gobble up chocolate (Easter) or they eat lots of this flat unleavened bread called Matzah with four cups or wine. (Passover) Which ever holiday your two legger may celebrate I would like to remind you of springtime holiday hazards that you want to keep your four-legger safe from.

1. The Easter Lily (Plant):
Actually any Lily is toxic, especially to Cats. No one really knows why these beautiful flowering plants are so poisonous but ingesting even a tiny amount of this plant or flower can cause kidney failure and other gastrointestinal or nervous system trouble. Even the pollen of the plant is toxic so if your cat gets any of this on their fur it is bath time!

2. Chocolate Bunnies, Chocolate Coins and other items made from ground cacao seeds.
The darker the chocolate the more fat and caffeine-like stimulate known as methylxanthines. This is a no-no for us four-leggers. We have a great nose for finding sweet things so if you are having an Easter egg hunt make certain not to hide the chocolate in our reach we will sniff it out.

3. Xylitol (Candy and gum sweetener)
Read the labels and keep any products with this ingredient far away from us!

4. Easter Plastic Grass
It looks fun, moves in the wind haunting us to play with it but be warned it is deadly if swallowed. Any string-like object when ingested or partially ingested can cause a gastrointestinal obstruction that can be life-threatening.

5. Wine
Any kind of alcohol is significantly more toxic to pets than to humans. And remember that grape juice you might be substituting for wine at passover is also a big no-no that can quickly be life-threatening. Just say no and pass me a bone instead!

Might I suggest hiding a few bowls of these for your hunt or serving up a some of these! Happy Holidays!

I also want to post a fun event that is happening in NYC:

Nearly 275 Faberge eggs created by famous designers will be hidden around the city between April 1 and April 17. Participants can check in with their smartphones when they locate one of the two-foot-tall eggs. I hear that there are tons of famous artists who have created very special eggs! Here is a link!!!

What an event!
