6 0.K. then!

Just dawned on me that dogs are carnivores and prefer MEAT to sweets!  Duh? Why am I baking things that appeal to me?  Tweaked the recipe and created Bacon Scones.  Flavored with beef bullion and real bacon bits!  Sounds yukky but Moku gobbled the first one, Happy sniffed and actually took one, Toby even nibbled, but didn't eat the whole thing.  There may be hope yet....to be continued

Wish I could eat these!  Wouldn't you get all of these if they were baked especially for dogs?
Hot out of the oven--Bacon Pinwheels.  Whole wheat, a little honey and bits of real bacon.

Next career...

(whole wheat parmesan twists & pretzels)

I love to bake!  But at this stage in my life, the baked goodies don't love me...(sigh).  So I decided to bake for my dogs.  At least I'm not tempted to taste the treats.  Beginning with simple biscuit-like recipes.  My goal is to bake and decorate cakes, cupcakes and other goodies that look so irresistably yummy!

6-0 Digs

My friend Bernie, the Garden Guy is an expert on anything that grows in dirt!  He's a true green thumb, and is a veritable encyclopedia of plant nowledge.  Ask him, he'll have the answer!  By the way, he's 60-ish too.

6-Oh Bow WOW!

What a great little shop!  The refrigerated case looked so yummy, it's difficult to think they're only for dogs.  When I shared with the owner that I have been cooking for my dogs, she told me they can eat just about anything we do, except for certain things that are toxic for them.  She eliminates white sugar and salt; I should eat the same way.  Here are some of the goodies:


6-0h Wow! Touring Golden Gate Park by Segway


On a Monday morning, the park is very quiet.  No one is out early because nothing is open yet.  Being Monday, no one had booked this tour but us--so we had a private tour--just the two of us!  The Segway is very stable and easy to maneuver.  Nine gyroscopes keep it well balanced and responsive.  It's also quite heavy and has enough power to go off-road!  Cody was a great guide who narrated our tour through little radios with ear pieces.  We loved the experience and highly recommend it.  Must be able to stand for 2 hours and be somewhat coordinated.  I don't think I would tour through the streets of a city on this, but being in the park with virtually no car traffic was fantastic!  Also GG park is in a mostly-residential-part of town so is a lot more quiet than the city center.

6-0h! Travel

Tasting a variety of wines, inevitably I spill!  That's why I always travel with a little bottle of LOC concentrate wash to get those pinot stains out right away.  Works great for lingerie too.
