This morning I was going through my email and I got my mass email from The Nest. Every once in a while I like to look around that site, it’s a guilty pleasure. I clicked through to read an article and starting browsing around. Thumbing through articles on being green and came across this..
What’s so [...]
I made these for Saul on Sunday. Yes, I baked cookies for my dog. I didn’t feel like driving to Petco and he was out of treats so..

2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup skim milk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In another [...]
The latest on the dog is I’m pretty sure in an attempt to train him to control his urges to bark we have been teaching him to bark.
CRAP!
Saul has one of the most insane barks I’ve ever heard. It’s not really high pitched or yappy it’s just loud. He barked in my ear last night and it’s still ringing. I think he slightly deafened me.
The past week or so he’s started regressing into old bad habits. Being really agitated, barking, not listening. This morning for an hour he’s just basically paced from the kitchen to the window. Growling at nothing, barking at nothing. When he’s been barking we call him to us and give him a treat when he’s quiet. I think he’s purposely barking so he can be called and given a treat. Sneaky smart dog.
It’s kind of back to square one on that. I guess we just have to be really specific in what we’re asking him to do.
His voice rattles my nerves so much I was actually considering getting an anti-bark collar. Not a shock collar but one of the ones that sprays them with a ‘harmless shot of citronella’. I can’t do it though. It would make me really sad to do that to him.
I’m hoping he’s just going through some sort of weird phase right now and it’ll pass. He was doing so well.

Sundays seem to be the day for us that weird things happen. The day started out pretty good. We went to a baby shower, the hubby had rehearsal and then we went to dinner at Greek Islands. It was a quick dinner, maybe an hour and a half. [...]

The thing that gives me the toughest time is coming up with titles for these posts so from now on I’m just opening up books and grabbing a sentence.
Last Sunday we went to the dog beach because it was a balmy 50 degrees. Saul made a new friend.
And [...]
