Autumn 2019

I can see from here.

Our home has seen the seasons, but we haven't fully grasped where the time has gone. Carlee has aged in joints, right hip hurts, vision diminished but she works a room like a vacuum. She. Is. The 'keeper of the treats'.

The Capital City Farmers' Market keeps us moving, meeting new dogs that drag their pawrents along. We continue to bake biscuits on weekends, dried in a few days, bag and out of a box on the floor we label, count and box. Then we page through our recipes of sweets and savors for #humantreats Have you followed us on Instagram yet?

For those that ask, sorry Betsy who was so excited about the Upside Down Pineapple Cake (thank you), we don't have set recipes for our #humantreats From Clara's Kitchen. Clara is Mom, she was super! A name seldom heard. Always beautiful. #CarleeClara

Because of the multiple dogs that visit, noses search for treats in hands, we don't have human treat samples, simply a health issue. But, we can point, give you a name and they can tell you about our baked goods for humans.

Bab's market season winds down for 2019, we will update on Facebook. Or follow Capital City Farmers' Market Pierre SD (because most states have a Capital City market). Each week details of who and what will be brought.

Thank you for choosing our treats and sharing with your furrends. We have started our twelfth year. Yes, 12!

As always, help those that cross your path. We do the same.

Buster...a year gone.

March 15th, a year has already passed. Had there been an indication something sad would happen, we would have made sure Carlee was with us. In his last earthly hug, I whispered in his ear. 'You take a nap and after supper we'll go for a walk. It's okay. We love you.' So. Many. Tears. Best boy.

In this year, Carlee has stopped to sniff other dogs. She has stood up on her back feet to see dogs held in arms. 'She has lost her brother and is looking.' All these years, she hasn't wanted to be dog friends with anyone. But she looks for Buster at every turn. I catch myself doing the same.

The first few months on our walks, a Westie would cross our path. Buster was near. He was approximately four years old when I picked him up in a foot of snow and placed him in a warm vehicle, on a new fleece blanket. I stopped at the cemetery and told the folks, ''I got him.' They already new. And we headed home.  With much love to you Buster, Mom and Carlee

Just fits.

Longer Days

For us, sunshine makes up for the dark on shorter days. Looking at our new years calendar (Happy New Year!) mornings are starting to become lighter, earlier. Yay! You can search online for sunrise/sunset calendars. We drive by the hours of the sun and not by the light of the moon.

Weekends, Carlee sniffs her leash, which hangs on a closet pull within the reach of her nose. So, off we go. She is a bird dog. Her eyes scan the shores for geese and the sky for eagles. We place her in Buster's harness, and hold tight to the leash. Safety first.

Enjoy your walks and your rides. Carlee had to learn to like them, but she is the first to the door.

Watch for dogs, animals in general, help them in this cold. We continue to do the same. Enjoy your week!

Autumn Days

Our busy schedule came to halt this Summer.  We need to be more specific with our prayers. Better the human to be under the weather than the dogs. Spending more time with the dogs was needed and appreciated. Yard work help from friends was required.

Eli, towed away

We won't be attending the Zonta Holiday Fair in November. We are back to baking dog treats on cool Autumn days, taking and filling orders. Feel free to contact us.

For those coming through or live in the Pierre and Fort Pierre SD area, our dog treats are available at Bliss and Sweet Peas, one of the St. Charles store fronts in Pierre, SD.  They have various fun shapes in different sizes. We also fill orders and ship out. Connect with us and we'll make sure your dogs, granddogs and neighbor dogs don't run out of treats.

Take time to enjoy your fur, they enjoy as much, if not more, as the humans do.
Help animals that cross your path needing a bit more assistance. We'll do the same.

Take care friends.
