Penny's session with a pro shooter

We recently had the pleasure of a personal professional photo shoot by +Maria Villano  at our home. What a special treat for all of us. 

http://mariavillano.com/blog/
The stars aligned for Penny's 10th Birthday, and now we have excellent photos to frame and gush over for years to come. I can't think of a better gift to give or get for yourself and your family.

Maria even took a few shots of the three of us [Penny, Ray & me] which was priceless because we really have none. One of us is always taking the pictures, resulting in no family photos! Problem solved. 

Penny's cousin Buddy was over and she snapped a few shots of him too. 

All in all, it was a fun & relaxing way to celebrate our beloved Penny and I'm so glad we did it. 
Having professional photos taken is worth every penny and with someone as talented as Maria, a tremendous bargain.

If you're in the North Bay, Sonoma, Napa and Marin Counties, 
do give Maria a call: 707-478-0614
or visit her website: http://mariavillano.com

Oh, and if you're getting married, definitely look her up. She shoots weddings brilliantly!

lunch break

A girl's gotta eat. 


With the holiday season in full swing, our little corner of the world is looking more like Santa's workshop more each day.
Here's a few cookie and gingerbread doghouse photos while I eat my "go-to" lunch: cheese sandwich. It's not glamorous, but it works.

America's Dog: Pitbull Awareness Day

The 4th annual national pitbull awareness day is tomorrow [Sat. October 23] with loads of events near you. Seems there are plenty of sites with info and events. These cross-country events  aim to dispel the pit bull terrier myths, discuss the harms of breed discriminatory legislation, help with training and spay/neuter education and have a little fun at the same time. Here are just a few:

What is National Pit Bull Awareness Day?

In the midst of continuing Breed Specific Legislation (BSL), it's time for responsible Pit Bull Owners to take a stand. Let's band together and show the world how wonderful this breed is.

Pit Bulls are not the problem. Bad Owners are the problem. And we are the solution....

Hug a bully today!

easy-bake biscuits

We're restyling our bake-at-home biscuit kit packaging. Tres chic, no? Still the same people-quality organic ingredients, now with more dash.

Gift-giving season is upon us and we all know folks who still love to bake...try one of ours. The kit comes complete with a cookie cutter, all you need is some free time and desire.
The dogs will love you for it!

October Surprise

Celebrate the double digit months by doubling down on two of our best-selling treats that are simply perfect for now.
Buy 1 package Double Pumpkin Happiness biscuits and 1 package Sweet Potato & Ginger Snaps and save over 15%. 
Both flavors are full of beta-carotene rich pumpkin and yams. Most excellent for senior dogs and pups of all ages.
Made with organic people-quality ingredients, both these biscuits recipes contain bilberry fruit and amazing ginkgo for good eye and vision health and well as clear thinking and memory support. 

Two super snax! on sale now.

OPR

Just a quickie to thank Organic Products Retailer magazine for listing our newest snax: Nuts About Grain Free-Super Peanut treats in the September issue.
These are quickly becoming a great selling snack, so many people want to keep grains out of their dogs diets.
Ours are chock full of fresh ground roasted Valencia peanuts, organic sunflower, pumpkin and sesame seeds, organic flax seeds, hemp oil, cage-free eggs, and organic chick pea flour.

Nice and crunchy; aromatic and fresh. We bake them in bulk or in packaged.

Saturday Sizzler at Foppiano

Thanks to Ellen at Paws For Love and to Foppiano Vineyards for putting on a lovely event. It was a scorcher of a day, but the dogs were troopers and had a blast.

Everyone relaxed with fine wine and grilled sausages while the dogs created their unique works of art.

We set up our little booth at the end of a row among the vines.

We visited with friends like Laura Leah Johnson from Brinkley Books

The dogs munched on biscuits and cake [our Double Carob Chip-Peanut Cake Mix with applesauce & zucchini, garnished with coconut & carob chips]

the tasting room was air-conditioned, which was really nice

and all the dogs were happy.
