Palette's spring treats diary;May 15th,2011

 Walking towards the box where I keep poop bag for Palette, I hear the trotting sound behind me.

 She had this huge grin on her face after tossing the leash toward me as if to say "Lets go,mom. I am very ready." She knew we will be able to go for walkie after some bad weather days again.

 A few weeks ago or so, we had very bad weather, and one night, she was very clingy to me and she was just like my shadow;wherever I go,she follows, and when I settled on chair, she came very close to my foot and settled like curled fur ball.

 After 2 hours later, I have learned that our area had tornado watch, and then as time goes by, the tornado watch turned to tornado warning. That night, I have gathered flash lights and other necessary stuff in one room, and Palette and I hid in the closet for a while.

 Palette was not sure what kinds of game we were playing but she still remained close to my body and settled like curled fur ball.

 I knew that she is pretty good at picking up weather change; she rings her potty bells when she needs to go potty and, sometimes, she rings at odd time when she normally not ringing the bell.

 I take her out for potty and come back inside and, just about closing the door, it starts raining very hard. It is not just one time coincidence and, I wonder if she is feeling/detecting some sort of difference such as barometric pressure change in the air, or smell of the Air changes when climate change just like when I wrote in the previous entry titled "Thunder and dogs".

 Palette gets extra excited after bad weather days for walkie. She was so eager to read the doggy news on the ground and one point time, we started jogging and saw a jogger in front of us. She has spotted the lady jogging in front of us, and she sped up to pass her. She is not into chasing jogger but, it is her thing that she "must" pass a jogger. She needs to know that not everyone we see on the walkie is in our race

 When excitement is high when walkie, sometimes, her rear ends gets little messy, and after race to the house, she goes into bath tub for butt-wash.

 She knows the word "shower" and when I tell her "shower", she goes to bathroom,and butt wash begins. However, I had a thought that since she is not being bathed for some time, I would bath her not just butt wash.

 So, Palette got bathed. Poor Palette stepped forward for me in the tub so that I can have easy access to wash her butt, but she ended up being bathed



Just being bathed...

It was not in our agreement,mom..

I am feeling naked without my favorite collar on...


 After some zoomie time, she got her favorite cool down treats as usual.  

 With "Palette's treats dairy" series, I thought it would be interesting for you to tour around our kitchen to see what kinds of cool down treats she is getting, and share her cool down treats' recipes.

 If you do have interactive chew toys such as "Kong", you could fill it with these, although you may want to give your dogs designated area to chew on.

 Now, I will pass a pen to Palette to write her diary here.

 May 15th,2011

 Dear diary,

 Many days ago, we had angry weather, and one night, I decided to become mom's shadow and I followed everywhere she goes. I was just feeling angry weather would come over to us and,I was scared. I wanted to make sure mom is near me all time.

 After a quick dinner, mom called me to get inside the closet with her.

 I was not sure what games we were playing but, often time, mom is the one that hid in the closet or behind the counter for me to find her. Or my squeaky toys hidden somewhere and I find them and bring them to mom to exchange with jackpot tweats...

 Who is going to find us,and most importantly, who gets the tweats?

 I was just curling up like a ball near mom and we spent some time in the closet until angry weather passes by us.

 I could tell mom was nervous because I am good at picking up how mom and dad feel. We, furriends, are expert on this.

 After a while, we came out from the closet and watch TV (tummy rub time for me!), and went to bed hoping tomorrow is sunny day.

 Angry weather hung around a while next couple days, and we could not go for walkie but I can go for walkie now! *Smize* (Smile with eyes)

 I was so happy weather is good now and, brought walkie leash to mom and headed to walkie. But you know what happen when we are too excited... Usually, poop starts off nice cute nuggets, but end with wet ones and mess my fluffy pants!

 I know what would happen next; shower time!

 I thought I would get my fluffy pants cleaned up, but I was wrong. Mom started showering over my back, neck...

 Ahh.. I love neck scratch and tilt my head to side as if to say "There, there..Hmmm" . I love getting nice long massage during bathing time but, after being bathed, I been feeling naked without my favorite collar around my neck.

 It is sometime funny though because mom and dad hear no jingles with my tags without collar and, I being feeling so stealth. I can surprise mom sometimes.

 If only mom had something yummy in her hands and drops some for me to nibble on. I would enjoy "stealth time" more.

 Now and then, I shake my body just to make sure I am still without my favorite collar on. I feel strange without it. I like to hear my jingle every time I shake my body. I just not feeling like me.

 As usual, after bathing time, I did some zoomie in the house, and waited for mom to clean up the tub,and come out from shower room in front of my freezer.

 Oh yes, I have my own freezer and it got all the yummy you can think of. If any of you were skilled with opening freezer door, you could come over and we could have yummy food feast on our own.

 Mom has taught me how to close the door but she did not teach me how to open the door. I have to tell her she is forgetting something to teach me Do you think she would teach me how to open doors?

 Anyway, this time, I got frozen cantaloupe beet yogurt treats as cool down treats. Since I feel so naked without my favorite collar on, I asked mom to take a picture when I am feeling fully dressed with collar around my neck.

 I do not know about you, but I am so love Cantaloupe. If I hear/smell mom is snacking on Cantaloupe, I will come right next to her standing with my stumpy feet and say "Give me,give me,give me.. I want one too!" I really like Cantaloupe. I like beet too. I maybe a strange as mom's father says about me. I like all kinds of odd thing

 Maybe I was a human before being a furriends

 

 Frozen cantaloupe beet yogurt treats

 Here is how you make them.

1. To the mixer, add peeled,chopped and seed removed Cantaloupe 4.5 oz, peeled diced beet 4.5 oz steamed, 6 oz of Stoneyfield organic plain yogurt and puree them.

2. Pour those onto ice cube tray and freeze

** This will be about 14 blocks of treats in ice cube tray with my mom's

** Frozen cantaloupe beet yogurt treats whole amount is roughly about 224 kcal (you can see more detail at nutritiondata.com website here ). So, each ice cube given is about 16 kcal.

** Mom wanted rough kcal to be as close to real one, and she used Nutrition fact food label on the back of yogurt she used. She typed in the information provided in the nutrition label on the yogurt.

 

Hmm.... this is GOOD!



Hi,mom. This is 5 paws up!



Ahh.. I hear kitty trespassing our yard..

Tweats vs woofing at kitty..

That is a question..



Oh well,Kitty can wait.. nom,nom,nom..
