Friends and more friends...

Christmas 2012

With Christmas over, our year has gotten busier than usual. It's best, after all we are home baking, warming our home while the brrr remains outside. With hot water brewing, our baking routine quickly returns. From making the dough, rolling, cutting individual treats and baking.

A few friends.

Buster lays on the red rug in front of the oven. The same spot he chose when he came home. He is 12 today, you wouldn't guess it,  we've changed out his food to help with his joints last Summer. World of difference, like he is 6 again! My boy. With much love.

Over Christmas we grabbed our Santa hat and ho, ho, hoped to see our critters at the door for their treats. Some were hung on tree's, some on cupboard knobs and some packaged in a box under the tree. Our reminder was to simply give the treats when packages were opened. Dogs are not just dogs, but parts of family, most eat in our kitchens, some sleep in our beds, many ride with us, lay on the bathroom rug while we get ready for work and sit and wait for our return as we leave for the day. Family.

Ready to go

Our ornaments appeared a few years ago when a Dad asked if we could do something special for his Polly for Christmas. We have all sorts of seasonal cutters, but the large bone worked best to make them "theirs". Polly's Dad was pleased, supposedly, so was Polly. For the customers of dogs that we know, over 60 were made this year, shipped and delivered. In hopes that our bubble-wrap, padded envelopes or small boxes keep the treats safe on their trip across country, we've haven't heard otherwise.

On that positive note, we hope you are well, healthy, wiser into this new year and warm in your homes. Help those that call for your help if only to direct them to those that can help more.
Have a great week friends!
