No Preservatives...Store in a cool dry place.

Our treat label states No preservatives, list of allergens and also "store in a cool dry place". With the rain and humidity lately you'll want to keep an eye on your treats. Our lower level isn't nearly as cool as usual and we found many treats had gone bad. We don't bag treats for Saturday's market or local fair's until the previous night. Reserve treats were sealed, broken and thrown away. A good reminder to myself as well, keep a closer eye on treats.

A busy day at our house as we baked, we start early morning and stop late afternoon. At suggestions of several customers, we cut small and medium bones in half in our baking today. Though our treats are easily broken, some dogs can count. Ours can, they can also spell and at times it's as if our fridge handle has a dog whistle sound when touched, it's beyond selective hearing.

We neglected brushing this morning, it is due, they don't mind so much as they know they get a treat afterwards. On that note, enjoy your animals. Stay cool.

Two headed dog...

The dogs have been itching for a ride, they get very excited when I grab their leashes and say "let's go!" The morning was still cool and the windows open a bit for fresh air. They have to share the middle console and to any passerby, they look like a two headed dog. We get smiles to waves and Buster greets them all!

Though Sunday's are usually baking days, we are taking a good portion of the day off. The "kids" have made me a believer that a good stretch and a Sunday afternoon nap are necessary.

My companions are several steps ahead of me as they lay close by and I can hear their dreams while they nap.

We await your visits at the Capital City Farmer's Market on Saturday morning in Pierre, South Dakota. We love your stories, we love to see your kids in person. Thank you for sharing your lives with us and for purchasing our dog treats.

If you need treats and it's not a Saturday of the Farmer's Market, we deliver in the Pierre/Fort Pierre city limits and ship elsewhere. Just call us at (605)224-8592 or email us your order at Babsncc@gmail.com.

Hug your dog, it makes us all feel better.

August heat

August, so soon, is already here. The heat climbed to 97 the first days of August and we had quite a storm August 3rd. The lightening was vertical and scary. We smelled smoke quickly as someone's prairie was smoldering. Much like ankle weights, walking from room to room shutting windows proved to be quite an activity as the dogs stay quite close.

Being calm for them, talking softly, sitting on the floor, holding them close and prayer helps us all in storms. Their previous homes kept the dogs outdoors much of the time with little protection, they are freakishly afraid of storms, not unlike some people. We're all afraid of something.

Keep your animals cool, plenty of water, shade, protection of dog houses or bringing them indoors. Protect them from the August heat, it climbs quickly during the day, keep them in mind.

Take care friends.
