5 things I learned from my dogs
I value the wisdom of my dogs. In spite of all our technological advances as humans, there are times when I truly wonder who is the species with the greater intellect.
5. Trust your gut (nose).
4. No matter what, I love you.
3. A daily walk is a must.
2. Make time to play and rest.
1. The present moment is everything.
Sunday biz
I usually spend Sunday cooking. Eating mostly plant-based requires a little prepping and time that I just simply don’t have during the busy work week. My Day Job is of the type that I can continue to work at home and, unfortunately, that has had to happen the last week and this weekend. There has been barely any time for petting our beloved akitas and certainly no time for fancy cooking.
But today, I had to get busy with the veggies and beans or we’d be eating peanut butter sandwiches all week.
I chopped some onions
Added some chopped spinach (I had already cooked it) and mushrooms.
So far…nothing very exciting, right?
This is my veggie meat of choice
And these pasta are super healthy
I cheated and got sauce from Costco
And I got this.
Final product. Hubby loved it!
Hubby did love it and, in our house, that’s all it takes to declare it a success. But there was  more.
These aren’t that good for you…but they’re so yummy!!!
I made potato rings that are sooo good. They were right out of the oven and crunchy to boot! And we ate them with home-made refried beans and felt like we were in heaven.
Now for the week, I’ve made this salad:
I got all these recipes from Oh She Glows. It’s my go-to for something that’s healthy yet yummy. Love it!
If we were having coffee

If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that it’s still freezing here. In fact, we have freezing rain in our forecast. Lovely, isn’t i? A couple of days ago, the Polar Vortex was among us giving us incredibly frigid temperatures, snow squalls and the promise of frostbite if we dared to venture outside.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that my husband’s patchy, duck-tape ‘fix’ of our dogs’ beds is over and they both now have new beds. This is good news for both doggies and people, since the old dog beds were a complete eye sore.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that Groundhog Day promised us an early spring and I, for one, can’t wait.
A huge thanks to Eclectic Alli for hosting our Coffee Share and to you, my lovely reader, for reading!
Happy Super Bowl
Happy Super Bowl Day! So exciting to watch! I’m tickled pink that it’s finally here.
The only sad part is that, after today,..the season is over…
Are you watching the game today? Who are you cheering for? cough…patriots…cough 😀
Pet Picture
This is just super cute and, so true. i can just see a doberman acting goofy like this. If I ever were to buy that breed, I’m sure that’s the one I’d get; one that sticks out his tongue at me!
Thanks to Wicked Aww Pics for the picture!
If we were having coffee

If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that our house is finally getting a make over. The crack in the ceiling that has been there for months and months, is finally getting fixed.
This is what it looks like now.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that, inspired by a show on TV about working dogs, I tried to ‘train’ mine by using treats and hiding them in our basement. To say it was an absolute disaster is to minimize the mess that ensued. Both dogs found the same treat, there was a dog fight, treats left in places forgotten and a very exhausted owner by the end of it.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that hubby has his friend Shane over and nothing is safe in the house. The TV, the dehumidifier and the ceiling crack are only some of the things they have put their little paws on. As a result, the TV now faces a completely different direction, there is a broken dehumidifier in our garage and the ceiling crack is newly painted. When those two get together, nothing works the way it’s supposed to.
If we were having coffee, I’d ask you how your week went. How are things on your end? How is work? Are you having a good weekend?
Thanks so much for reading, lovely reader! Here’s hoping that you had a wonderful week. And a huge thanks to Eclectic Alli for hosting our coffee share.

Where my dogs might be a little spoiled
I was watching TV with my doggies yesterday. Ocean and River put up with the news and such but they love shows about other dogs. And so do I. Yesterday’s choices were particularly pertinent to them.
I sat with them, pointing out different scenes for them and explained how other dogs work for a living, how other dogs are abandoned and have it so much harder than mine do. The explanations were lost on my two fluff-balls.
I’ve had a tough day. Doing nothing is exhausting.
These two are nothing like the hard-working, driven dogs that I saw on TV. Their noses aren’t trained to catch drugs or criminals and they certainly don’t work for hours on end. Instead, they like to try and destroy the yard we’ve enclosed for their protection and are very picky about the treats they eat.
I’m very cute! I deserve all my kisses!
Doggie laughs
I laughed at these and thought I’d share the joy.
