y'all bear with me...

I'm working on a new look... and I hate this one... but it's 5:45 and I'm out. I'll try to fix this mess tomorrow!

So I have a friend who is a dog trainer, has adorable Shelties and she competes in Rally (more on that later). She also makes liver treats that my dogs (and every other dog I've ever known to try them) absolutely love. So I'm passing along the recipe.

Pay attention folks - I don't think I can emphasize enough how BANANAS these will make your dog. I've known my dogs to almost tear my purse apart trying to get to some of these I accidentally left in my bag. And I make no guarantees, but I'm pretty sure you could convince your dog to do a back handspring followed by an advanced calculus problem if you promise them one of these treats.

They're great for just everyday snacks, but you can cut them up into small pieces to use for training time as well. My dogs are always much happier to work for these than they are for store-bought treats. And make sure you follow the advice she gives in the recipe - cook with the windows open. The smell from the baking treats can be pretty... stinky.

You can find the recipe right here.

watersliding anyone?

This is so what Quincy would do... if he had access to a backyard pool with built-in water slide...

Hi to... well, probably no one at this point. It's been almost exactly three months since I've even logged into this thing. To be honest, I was trying to decide whether to continue my foray into the blogging world... I just wasn't sure that what I was offering up to the world wide web was worthy of you guys reading it.

But lately, I find myself thinking... "Oh, man - I should totally share that on the blog."

So I've decided to take another run at this. And I promise I'm going to make it worth your while. I'm going to be adding giveaways, recipes (tested in the Pecan Pie Puppies kitchen and reviewed by my very own discerning 4-legged tasters), product reviews and more. Of course, I'll still provide you with the crazy stories that only my dogs and I can give you. There's never any shortage of those.

it's been a year

and I miss him as much as I did the day I lost him...

That's my sweet man on the left...
