Pepper's Trick

No more DROOL!

It is so nice to be back home. The only thing that I cannot stand is the dogs drool and hair! UGH! I seem to be doing an awesome job keeping up so far. It has only been about 3 weeks, but I have been vacuuming and cleaning up after them a lot to make this place looks spic and span! We usually keep an old towel nearby to wipe their mouths (especially Pepper's) after walks. If not, they will walk in and shake the drool all over the hallway walls. Ewwww! I do not like the look of the old towels hanging on the railing, so last night while Chad was at his Section E Keg Race (of course I was not going to that) I made a "Drool Rag". I think it looks a lot better than an ugly old towel just hanging there.


Look at the beautiful sky last night! So pretty!

pumpkin treats for my pups
So I have been in the kitchen non-stop this weekend. I made 6 apple pies and an apple crisp earlier and now I thought I would surprise the doggies with a special treat for fall. I searched the Internet and found an easy recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/peanut-butter-and-pumpkin-dog-treats/detail.aspx . It was pretty quick (rolling it out and cutting them took a little more time). They turned out delicious. Pepper and Norma told me. I would do anything for my pups. They are my babies.

my halloween fashionistas
On Sunday, after all the household chores, I decided to head to the craft store to see what I could make for the pups to where for Halloween! Of course, they cannot fit into any pet costumes around. So instead, I wanted to make them Halloween bandannas to wear. Now, I am not big on sowing AT ALL! My mother on the other hand is amazing at sewing. I needed to buy enough fabric to make them each an extra large bandanna and then pom pom trim to go around the edges. I was on the phone with my mother back and forth trying to figure out how much of everything I needed. Once everything was bought, I came home and got started. I began sewing and I realized that it was going to take FOREVER!!! Especially without a sewing machine. Heat n' Bond is my new best friend! I finished the bandannas in about an hour and they are adorable! Yeah... I may have taken the easy way out, but really how many times will they wear a Halloween bandanna??
