December...

...arrives tomorrow, Sunday, December 1st, 2013. We were blessed to have my sister stay at our home the past few days. The dogs love her and she laughs at their antics. Today I heard her "awww", Buster had given Carlee a kiss and she reciprocated. Rare occurrence and glad she saw it.

Small dog Christmas shapes

When Bab's Bites 'n Bones was given the okay by the South Dakota Department of Agriculture in October 2007, my sister and I baked many hours a day together. Today she offered to help bake treats, I accepted and we baked medium size in our popular flavors of Hearty Beef and Savory Chicken. They will be available at our upcoming fair on Saturday, December 7, 2013 at the 1st United Methodist Church, corner of Capital and Central, Pierre, SD from 9am to 4pm.

Quick finder of dropped treats

Claire bagged small treats in various sizes the night before, I stapled the label to the bags. Once in awhile a loose treat found its way to the floor. Our girl is quick as you see her licking her chops. We will be ready with small and big Christmas shapes, ornaments, our popular Barker's Dozen and various other size bags of treats. Great stocking stuffer's or just to purchase for treats when running low. Just a note, Bliss/Sweet Peas located in the St. Charles, Pierre, SD also carries our treats, both flavors, various size bags along with shapes and ornaments.

Our evening has been one of relaxing and napping, preparing for baking a few more batches tomorrow.  We hope to see you next Saturday, December 7th. Pick up a friend or two, walk through the warmth of friendly vendors. Have a great week and help those in need on the coming cooler temperature days.

A side note. We are helping Oglala Pet Project (OPP) with wish list trees. Thanks to Bow Wow Meow Animal Clinic in Fort Pierre, SD for decorating a tree. Stop in, choose a tag off the tree, choose an item or two to purchase, return the purchase under the tree and you can keep the decorative tag. Spread the word, another local vet clinic is in the works. Helping where we can, in hopes you will do the same. Thanks all!
