What a great day!

Yesterday the weather was pretty bad, it was very quiet and I was worried about how this was going to come together.  But of course one should never worry because everything is exactly how it should be!  Today was awesome.  I had such an interesting group of people networking and having amazing conversations.  It starts with the dogs and I am blown away by the directions it can take.
Anyway thanks for coming in and if I haven't seen you yet I hope to see you soon.
I am off to do other things for a couple of days now, I have some horses that are forgetting what I look like.  See you Wednesday for a new and exciting week.

Day 9

It's a rainy day today so I don't think that there will be a lot of dog walkers out.  Hard to say, they may want to get in out of the rain.  I baked a new treat yesterday,  "Twisted Cheese Sticks", whole wheat flour, corn meal and parmesan cheese.  So far the volunteers seem to love it.  So I now have those and Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Bones, Gluten free Beefy Kittens, Rye Puppies and a few Banana Muffins. I have a frozen treat P.B Yoghurt Cubes but not quite the weather for that.
I will be introducing "A Dogs Breakfast" using our fresh organic eggs but I haven't settled on a recipe yet.
Also, as an aside, I discovered in my research that dogs should not be fed raw egg whites as they inhibit the absorbtion of biotin and cause bad skin and hair.  Cooked they are great sources of protein and if you want to give your dog a whole hard boiled egg, shell attached, that is recommended once a week (added calcium).
I am also now offering ground flax seed to sprinkle on their dinners.
If you haven't tried my Back Eddies coffee I hope to see you soon as you don't know what you are missing! I am so impressed I am selling it by the pound as well for $14.95, whole bean, it stays a lot fresher that way.
Better go, lots of work to do! Let me know what you are thinking.
Remember to go to the  OSAS website to see what angels they have that are looking for families.  You can never have too many angels!

Day 4

Well, this has been a wonderful experience.  Sparky and I have had some pretty interesting visitors/playmates in the last 3 days. Quinte, Gazoo, Mickey, Kody, Fire, Milo, Dante, Chant, Ralph, Lucky and Shelby have all been in for treats. Hopefully they tell all of their friends and the word spreads quickly.  The space is good,  I have had to move a couple of things around to accomodate a number of four legged patrons for play space but that is what this is all about.  We are for the animals! and many of them are treating their owners to our fantastic, Back Eddies coffee or an exotic tea or cold drink.  But don't worry if you don't have a four legged companion, Sparky is here to take advantage of any attention he can get.
We sure hope to see you all soon!
