Wednesday's Recipe
One of Nala's favorite summertime treats are her frozen yogurt cubes. Easy peasy to make they are a refreshing treat especially after a walk!
Ingredients you will need:
1 cup of organic plain yogurt
1 pint of (organic if you can!) blueberries
You can use most other fruits, try strawberries or bananas!
Mix in blender until well incorporated
pour into ice cube trays and cover with plastic wrap, freeze
There you have them!

Sunny Saturday
What a beautiful morning! Why can't the weather stay like this every day? We don't need those other seasons!
Nala likes to climb up onto the bench on the deck and then into the flower box. Luckily we took out the flowers since we are removing the deck and rebuilding a new one this summer.
Too bad the new deck will not include the features that Nala enjoys so much. Maybe we should just leave a box of dirt on the deck for her. Like a big sand box to play in!

Feel Good Friday
Summer is in full swing and I am loving it! Especially after the awful winter we had! Nala had a visit with her former owner the other weekend. We met in a local dog park and the two had a joyful reunion! Nala's prior mommy had to surrender Nala because she worked and went to school which left little time for a bulldog. Realizing this, she made the painful decision to surrender her to the rescue for which I really admire her for! She did something that a lot of people might not do, putting what was best for her dog first! A very selfless act of love! When we met she gave Nala a great gift, a cooling pad for the summer. Knowing how bulldogs easily over heat this cooling pad for her to chill on is a great idea! It's cooling feature is in the material itself and does not require putting it in the frig to keep it cool. Now I only have to get her to use it. Nala seems to artfully dodge it where ever I put it down!
So speaking of summer and chilling out keep in mind how the heat can be dangerous for your dog. Especially bulldogs and other short snout or flat face breeds. Walking in mid day heat or the ultimate no-no leaving them in your car are all potentially life threatening. Keeping them cool indoors with the AC on is where they need to be. We walk Nala only very early morning or late evening and even then if it's humid we keep the walks short.
Also folks if you see a dog in a hot car in a parking lot or on the street and cannot locate the owner please do not hesitate to call the police. Inside a car on a 85 F degree day the temperature can easily reach 120 degrees Fahrenheit inside a vehicle, which of course is deadly. In several states it s against the law to leave your pet in the car, though I don't know why its not illegal everywhere!
So I leave you with this bit of wisdom for the weekend:
The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too. ~Samuel Butler,Notebooks, 1912
Stay cool, stay safe!

The Dog Who Cried Woof!
Nala gets in her moods where she just loves to bark her head off! I have been trying to decide if its because she wants attention or senses some other animal nearby? Maybe she just gets downright bored and needs to stir things up a bit!
If we only knew what they were trying to communicate? See the link below for reasons your pooch may be barking the blues!

As for Nala, I think she is simply wants the attention. 'Look at me not the computer or TV..I am much more entertaining than those things!" Here in this video is some of Nala's best barking to date!
Happy weekend folks!

Finally Friday and Please Pee Here
Woo hoo it's Friday and Mom has off! We're off to PetSmart!
Here is an interesting article on lawn burn. You know those lovely yellow spots that your dog creates by peeing on your grass! I think they should learn to pee on the neighbors lawn, but here are some more practical solutions;
TGIF!

Celebrate Sunday
I was away on vacation down in Florida for a week while my husband stayed home with our Nala. By the end of the week I was really missing her,,,oh yeah my husband too. I think she was a little depressed while I was gone( so said my husband ) but our reunion was so joyful! It's one of the hardest things is leaving them even if it's only for a few days!
I noticed since I came back that our neighbors yard was missing the cute little bunny rabbit that lived there. Every morning I would enjoy watching him sit in the grass munching happily away on a carrot. I asked my neighbor Clare what happened and immediately her face turned serious. " The women who lives on the corner ....well her cat killed the bunny! I will refrain from the gory details!" 'Oh no!" I replied with horror! Then I began my tirade on how irresponsible of a pet owner she is etc.! People just shouldn't let their cats go loose, they can pick up disease or get hit by a car or be subject to sick people who do awful things to animals! Agghhh! That poor bunny! The emptiness of the back yard is so sad! What can you do other than confront her and tell her what her cat did and why she needs to keep it indoors! She will probably get mad but who gives a flying fig!
Enough of that, anyway life goes on and it's finally not raining and Nala and I are going for a walk!
Enjoy your Memorial day weekend and my many thanks to all who served and gave their all so that we may live in the land of the free! God bless America!
