Home is where the heart is...

We think so each time we drive into our driveway, we know so when we relax and enjoy. We have a million dollar view and a cozy home, while others have million dollar homes with little view. Ours is a keeper!




His heart is home!



We recently had an inquiry from a gal named Princess. So we packed up some treats and sent them on her way. Our treats have a long shelflife, keep in a cool dry place and they will last long which makes shipping them a snap. The box is touched by many hands while the treats are craddled and arrive in a "cute little package."

We are people approved and mentioned if Princess doesn't like the treats, her owners certainly could, however, Princess isn't sharing and we take that as a compliment. Thank you Princess!

Our customer comments continue coming in or they tell us directly at the market, here are a few:

"Your treats are lip smacking, tail wagging good!" - Ginger's Mom

"The dog still sits each time I walk into the kitchen." - Polly's Dad

"The dogs go nuts for your treats!" Frank and Maya's Mom

"We switch out treats, but they like yours best!" Candy's Mom

"She's a picky dog, but she sure like's your treats!" picky dog's Mom

We're baking, getting ready for Fall fairs which will be here very soon and rounding out the Farmer's Market. Running low on treats? Call, email or even leave a message on Facebook. Bab's isn't on there yet, but someday. Take care friends, enjoy your week!

Updated: Ginger...short for Gingersnap photo

was frantic when her Mom zigged and zagged through the market, nearly driving over our tent Saturday.  I stepped back, looked in the car and said, "Hi Ginger!" She lept over her owner's lap as soon as the car door opened, her mother gave her the go ahead, I knelt down, she came running and sat down.
I have wonderful friends and furry friends are everyone's favorites! Ginger, is beautiful and a fine 9 years old.



Gingersnap 



Buster and Carlee aren't allowed at the market, so I encourage my customers to bring their critters and they do. All on leashes and all sit nicely for a treat or two. Fall fairs will soon begin for us, extra visitors will be missed.

We've had inquiry's about our treats and invites to local fairs, we are booked. The kids will get their Fall bathes and trims this week, they are cute and hairy turning back into handsome and pretty.

Out at night? Look up, the stars are always in abundance, the milky way has eeked across our sky. The moon is always gorgeous smiling the other night, sunrise and sets are all free. We watch the sunset at 8pm, turn around and see the moon rising. Blessed.

Have a great week friends, enjoy your furry kids and help those in need where and when you can.
Take care.

12 feet...

We are helping out a neighbor that is traveling far, going through radiation treatments. Cancer seems to touch lives of everyone and when asked to help, of course we said, "Sure."  Though Shania was timid last week, she cuddles right up on my lap as I sit on the floor after our out. Friday they were out of treats, Saturday they had some Bab's treats and they danced! Literally! I 'm not a lover of cats, but I  reach out as Daisy jumps the baby gate and pet her as she walks by. Beautiful blue eyed Daisy rubbed her head on my shoulder Saturday evening. Tears for both of us. These 12 feet need extra human touch and gladly it is given. Help those that need help, sit on the floor if you can, play, visit, sing softly at night. Give a treat and wish them good nights rest, see you tomorrow, 12 feet.

Shania apparently doesn't like the camera.



Sissy likes ears and white patch scratched.



Daisy with beautiful blue eyes.

Good night friends.

Barker's Dozen...

From day one we wanted our treats affordable to anyone, especially kids, that could purchase a bag of treats for a dollar. We continue that today, only we've added a few more treats to the bag and call it a Barker's Dozen. Yes, a spin off of the Baker's Dozen, since we are the baker's and the dogs are the taster's it just seemed fitting!

Ellen, a smiling customer, stopped by with 2 grand kids on Saturday, the young girl could read our label and she did a great job! Each child could choose a bag of treats and did for their dogs, everyone was happy! The flip side of our ingredients is a listing of ingredients of a well known commercial dog treat, children of reading age cannot get past the first few words and nor can we. Mary, a well-known market customer, has taught her children, if you cannot read the label or understand after the first 5 ingredients you shouldn't eat it. We agree!

We have been reading labels for years, if we pickup an item that doesn't have a label, we ask, from church bazaars, local bake sales to farmer's markets . If the  provider cannot provide, we suggest and thank them. As we've gotten older we've become more allergic to food items. If sugar is a main ingredient, diabetics should know, if sodium is a ingredient then those with high blood pressure should be aware. Several young children have trained dogs that will steer them away from anything that might contain nuts or a scent of a nut. Severe allergic reactions seem to be prominent which should be the push for labels. Though our bag labels provide the our ingredients,  people still ask, "What's in here?" We provide a large print 8 x 11 paper and if they still cannot read it, we read it for them. "Well, that's just like people food!" is a comment we hear often.  They purchase, come back and bring people with them. It's just good business!

Thanks friends! Have a great week!
