Indigo the Fishermans Dog. 06/10/2010
 I had to laugh at this photo of Indigo. This was the evening when I did not take here down to the beach to supervise, her dad, with his fishing. She looks like she needs her daily multivitamin and happy pills, lol J.       Here she is, happy again, doing what she loves, being involved in the evening fishing excursion and bringing home the whiting catch.   She does not mind a little of the left over fresh caught and cooked, dinner either. Home Made, Dog Biscuits. 05/03/2010
 Mum was looking at the supermarket receipt from the epson tm-t88iv printer and she said that my store bought doggie treats were breaking the budget so she would stop buying the readymade ones and make homemade liver treats for me. She will store them in the freezer so they keep well, then let me have one each time I give her a good idea for a doggie blog. J. I thought that was a great idea. Homemad Doggie Breath Mint Recipe (This is 100% Safe and Effective For All Breeds): 1/4 cup mint leaves 3-5 salt-free crackers 1-2 cups of water Finely chop up all the mint leaves by hand or with afood processor, just make sure it's ground up finely. Next in a bowl pour in the water with the ground up crackers and mint leaves. The crackers will stick to the mint so add a cracker or take some out as needed. Now roll them up into small 1/4 inch balls. Lay on wax paper, pop them in the freezer and that's it! Give one to your dog whenever he needs a fresher breath. Remember, you can go by hand measurements for this recipe since nothing has to be exact. Play around with it until you find a mixture just right for your liking and put that into balls and pop in the freezer and you're go to go. Whenever you can choose fresh mint over the dried form of the herb because it makes a stronger product. The leaves of fresh mint should look vibrant and be a rich green color and be free from dark spots or yellowing. Homemade Gourmet Dog Biscuit Recipe •12-16oz raw liver, •1 1/2 lbs white or whole wheat flour, •8oz Quaker oats, •3 bouillion cubes (beef or chicken), •Appoximately 1 cup of water, •2 beaten eggs Preheat your oven to 350 and grease about three baking pans, use a food processor to chop the liver finely, or you can do it by hand. Mix the flour and oats together in a bowl, crumble the bouillion cubes, add the chopped liver and eggs, then add enough water (approx 1 cup) to make the dough firm and slightly sticky. Spread the biscuit dough out with a rolling pin until it is about an inch thick, then you can use a cookie cutter dipped in flour to cut out your biscuits. Bake your treats for an hour then put them into an airtight container and refridgerate them for about two weeks. Your dog can enjoy these anytime after they have cooled, they have to be refrigerated because of the liver that is used to make them.  These poodles are hanging around, waiting for the food to be cooked. How When and Why, to Give a Dog A Bone. 04/25/2010
 Indigo is a little too busy to chat today. She feels that chewing her bone takes priority over blogging. She did not mind me talking about why she should be allowed to have more bones. lol :-) I know that as a former dog owner and breeder and vets’ nurse more dogs die as a result of chewing plastic toys that they do from eating bones but bones that splinter and fragmented with sharp edges are dangerous to dogs. Uncooked chicken wings are usually safe as the bones are soft yet they will massage the gums and the chewing action helps clean the dog's teeth. Raw marrowbones are excellent if the dog does not chew splintered pieces of bone. We give Indigo these bones to chew all the gristle off them and get the marrow out of the centre as she is doing with this lamb leg bone in the photos then we take them off her or she will eat bone chunks. It is a balancing act of what is good about eating bones versus the dangers involved. Raw bones were a part of the natural diet of dogs though dogs are much evolved, since they were primary hunters.  She said she was quite happy for me to reference reasons why she should be allowed more bones. :-) Here is some advise about bones and dogs, I found 'on the internet'.
Happy Birthday. 03/10/2010
 It is my fifth Birthday today. It’ is my birthday and we returned to the family home, three generations of family members here to celebrate. I got to play ball with the whole family.  My mum’s daughter thought it should be a black tie occasion so she went through the mens ties and found me a special one to wear for the occasion of my birthday photo.  Then the birthday cake arrived, candle lit and it sure looked good....  .....and tasted even better.  My dad blew out the candle for me and I ate it with joy It was the first dessert I have ever been allowed.  Doggie Joy, Lamb Shanks For Dinner. 03/05/2010
 Nodding off, after a good dinner. We left Tarra Valley yesterday and arrived at Maffra, to visit family. Today the groceries were unpacked and I tried to play with the receipt from the tm-t88iv printer, but they took it off me. I was given, liver treats instead, that was a great exchange. I decided then that I like this idea off travelling and visiting ‘family'. Then today, OMG, it was ‘doggie joy’, lamb shank stew was on the menu and I got all the gorgeous cooked and luscious gristly bits the humans left behind. Fantastic! Now I am settling into my Aunty Yvonne’s own armchair and taking an after dinner nap so I’ll share a picture of a more active me in another day with you as I have a ‘full belly, and a do not disturb look', on my face right now, I am dreaming of lamb shanks, my new favourite dinner. | Kathy Shell on Facebook If you enjoy Indigo's blog, would you please vote for her blog in the link below. :-), Thank you
