cats, dogs, pets, photo a day, unconditional love

I have a coworker who is afraid of animals. She’s in a wheelchair and her mother is encouraging her to get a service dog. The problem is she is terrified of dogs. Not just dogs, but cats. Really animals of any kind send her into a panic attack.

Having had pets of all sizes as long as I can remember, this is unfathomable to me. My kids bring me such joy and hours of entertainment. They also drive me batshit crazy at times, but that is so hugely outweighed by their unconditional love.

Ginger does this adorable rotisserie thing in front of the fireplace in the winter that always makes me giggle. It’s no wonder so many of us get sucked into hours of silly pet videos on YouTube.

These photos have been posted before and that alone demonstrates how much I enjoy these guys.  I have almost more pictures of them than I do food.

Coe cookies

baking, carob, cookies, dog treats, dogs, homemade, peanut butter

There was a time when I baked only for one. I had no trust in my baking skills and I knew this one would never complain. Sure enough every time I pulled out flour and a cookie sheet I would have company in the kitchen. Boy times have changed.

I am now regularly baking bread, muffins or pizza dough. I still have company in the kitchen, but very quickly my assistant gets bored and leaves me. There are still plenty of days I bake for my lovely friend, my dog, Coe (like Zoe).

Today’s baking was all for her. Peanut butter banana carob chip cookies!

2 cups flour
1/4 cup(ish) peanut putter
1 very ripe banana, smashed thoroughly
1/4-1/2 cup carob chips
enough water to make a medium stiff dough. add and stir until you get about the consistency of oatmeal cookies.

drop by the teaspoon or smaller onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden.

Now, here’s what a mean mommy I really am 😉 and how crazy smart she is.

Let me be the person my dog thinks I am.

We took this picture during a fun weekend at the beach but it wasn’t until I made this my desktop wallpaper that I saw the self portrait!  I’m on the left, sweetie on the right.
