14 June 2018 - Here Kitty, Kitty!

Transporting Pets

 "Even the most stay-at-home pets must travel occasionally, though the trip may be no more than an annual visit to the vet."

Traveling with your pet!
Are you prepared?

I've traveled across the country with my two dogs.
When we packed up and moved from Texas to Washington state, we had to bring out dogs with us.
The first thing I had to do is plan out our hotels around pet friendly places.

For this trip we also had to pack blankets, food, and water for them.
We bought new leashes and they had their collars the entire time.

We are lucky that our pets travel well.
They don't run off and they are really great at going potty outside.
They also don't get car sick!

I never really thought about pets getting car sick but it happens!
Unfortunately, the only way to tell if your pet is car sick is to get them in the car and drive.

If you take your pet for a ride but you let them ride in the truck bed, you might need to research you local laws. If your pet isn't secured in the back, they risk falling off the moving truck.
This of course can cause injury or death the animal, but it also cause an accident.

There are many ways for you to secure your pet for their safety inside and out of the vehicle.

Small pets should have an adequate carrier.
Don't shove them in a box ok!
Sturdy and ventilated pet carrier please.

If you have to fly with your pet.....

I have such anxiety about this.

There has been so much about pets not being cared for and suffering injury or death because of negligence. Research your airline and their policies for traveling with pets.

Is your pet trained?
Our dogs traveled great because they understand commands and are pretty chill most of the time.
If you pet isn't trained....good luck.

You might end up like our picture in this post.

Just look at that smug face.

"Humans. This is unacceptable. I requested a 5 star hotel not this roach motel."

26 March 2018 - Guess Who's Back, Christ is Back, Tell a Friend

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post.  This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion.  Jesus would go on to be betraye...

Tips on Buying Lamb "A reference to "spring lamb"may make your mouth water - and well it should." Lamb is typically thought of as a seasonal meat with celebrations of Passover and Easter where lamb is usually eaten. A spring lamb is usually 3-5 months old so that the meat is very tender. Anything at the store that is labeled "LAMB" is a sheep that is a year or younger. These lambs are sometimes only milk fed.

30 January 2018 - Scotch Woodcock Two Ways...and more

Scotch Woodcock - Two Recipes "From Mrs. Beeton's nineteenth century homemaking guide: Spread hot buttered toast thinly with anchovy paste. Pour over a sauce made by stirring three beaten egg yolks into 1/4 pint cream, bring to a boiling point, but do not allow to boil or the sauce will curdle." This is a traditional Victorian recipe as you can tell because we get a return from Mrs. Beeton in today's Almanac post. Basically this becomes a creamy scrambled egg on toast with anchovy paste.  This is the second recipe for today "Add finely chopped hard cooked eggs to a white sauce that has been seasoned with anchovy sauce and paprika. Pour over toast." If you are wondering what eggs has to do with the title of the recipe just know that most Scottish recipes that contain chicken in it will have the word "Cock" in there too. (Don't blush you prudes) I'm not trying to be silly. (Get your head out of the gutter) ...
