Finally Healed with A Dog Treat Recipe

This is for all you dog-lovers and owners!

Cali Girl and The Garden

On my late dog’s birthday I decided to treat her well with yummy treats! Her name was Cali, which is short for California since we go her instead of going to California, but little did we know we were in for a TREAT. The place where we bought Cali from was a dog training/kennel place down where we live. My mother once again set us up with this dog, and it was a sure mistake. AT first glance you would see her as a lovely, young, sable-coated German Shepherd Dog but if you were me you would see a beast. A few incidents such as: chewing 3 holes in the wall, destroying her airplane-safe crate, eating the stairs, and have her fair share of digging and going psycho over the family cat sums it up. Then two days after her birthday she drowned. Unfortunately she was a big girl at that age. She had been chasing a small animal, got stuck in a culvert, and drowned from the passing water. SO today I have finally healed and decided to share a recipe with you that I gave my dog before she died.

Honey Yummies

1 ¼ c whole wheat flour

Glen and the Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

In the country we have neighbors that are hard not to be heard. Especially the ones behind us. I heard words from them that even my mother would’ve liked me NOT to have heard. But there is this one man and his wife you have been very kind to us. My father learned that our neighbor Glen’s cancer has returned. The man had helped us a lot in our recent struggle with our garden and the burial of our late dog, Cali Mae. So we decided to thank him with a nice chocolate sweet. SO I made him  Chocolate Chip cupcakes. It’s a slight revision from my cupcake recipe’s book except without the cream cheese and more tastiness.

Enjoy you days with your family and cherish the time you have together. Every second is priceless.
