New sweater and good news!

Hello everyone!

Mommy bought me a new sweater the other day! Since it was only 28 degrees this morning, she thought it was a good thing for me to wear it for our walk this morning!

I feel SO dapper!

There is also good news (knock wood) on the health front for me too! It has been TWO FULL DAYS with no more limping/leg seizing/crying!!! I am back to acting like my normal self (which mommy says is still "crazy" at best), which has my peeps SO relieved! Thank you so much to ALL of you that sent nice notes or thoughts.

Happy Day Before Turkey Day tomorrow!!!! Mommy found a recipe for ME that uses the goodies that come in a bag INSIDE the turkey! Mom honestly can't remember where she copied this from a few weeks ago(it's NOT hers) so if it's one of yours...let her know so she can add the appropriate "shout out". Check this out...


Corn Muffins with Turkey Giblets

Yield: 12-18 mini muffins

2 oz. bacon grease or shortening
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 c. flour
1/3 c. water
1 tsp. parsley flakes
7.5 oz. box corn muffin mix
2-3 oz. chicken/turkey giblets (enclosed pack minus the neck)

- Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to
400 degrees F.
- Grease a muffin pan with nonstick vegetable spray.
Melt the bacon grease.
- Puree the liver and giblets in the blender or food processor.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pureed liver, water, and bacon grease.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the corn muffin mix, flour, and spices. Mix into the liquid mixture.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin slots and bake for 15 minutes or until the toothpick test is dry, turning the pan once for even baking.

MMMMMM! I can't wait!

OK...PS....what is the deal with all the farkakte garlic in doggie recipes? All the Pug/Dog books that mom has (and the list of NO NO foods from the vet) all list garlic as NOT for dogs! Mom isn't taking any chances, but if you groove on garlic...go for it.

I have seen a lot of dog treats with garlic in them also. Maybe it's raw garlic that dogs can't have? Kind of like raw onions?
We are making turkey muffin loafs for the pugs for their thanksgiving dinner. I will post pictures and the recipe later this week.

I have heard that garlic is good/ok for dogs but in small quantities...
