Comment on Long lasting chews/recreational bones for dogs

2010-03-13T20:29:36Z

Thank you for your comments. I am glad you have enjoyed the entry. Was the cow hoof you have given to your dog is dog chew sold at pet supply store? Or, is it real thing?

When Palette turned to 2 years old, I wanted to give her something special. At her very first birthday, I baked non sugar, non salt, non butter doggy liver birthday cake, but wanted to give something different. So, I gave her a real cow hoofs which was a little stinky. It was as big as her face then. She had never seen it before and, stared at it, barked at it a couple of times, tried herd it from various angle and she finally settled down, enjoyed munching on it. Bellow is picture I found from her album.

Palette's 2nd Birthday present: Cow hoof

It was special birthday gift for her My plan was to let her have it till strip off to bone and I was going to take it away but, she was chewing it for close to 2 hours and got tired before she strips off to bare bone. She loved it so much, but she did not see it again because we human could not torelate the smell despite of her love of cow hoof

For her, long lasting chew is Antler. She now got 3 kinds to choose from: regular Antler, Antler with some velvet left on (which she already stripped off outer part with some velvet and now enjoy gnawing it), and Antler bottom. She seems to gnaw in turn among the 3 kinds with her leg kicked out.

Hi! I saw your beautiful pictures on your blog.Very nice photos and saw one Corgi similar marking to Palette in some photos. Is that Miss Chaby you talked about? Unfortunately, I could not read what it says in blog because blog seems to be in French But it seems all of your Corgi crews seemed to have quite fun in the snow! Do you play "Find it" game in the snow? It is fun! Downside is, sometimes, you forget where you hid the treats,lol.

Wow, it is interesting to know that Nana's real name was "Flying Palette Mercury". It sounds cool name! Please say "Woof" to Nana, Uyanga, and Chaby!

Comment on Save your fingers- how to let your dogs take treats gently from your hands

Thank you for comments and your feedback video on our treats. I enjoyed watching your crews in video lining up for treats and after taking one biscuits,they go off side for others to come up to you.I thought it was very cute. I saw how your crews take treats from you but, when Palette was puppy, she was much more alligator. She was alligator in small body Back then, playing fetch ball with Palette meant playing with stumpy alligator with big ears,lol.

Great ideas for training! I don't use a clicker, but the rest of it, is something I do use usually. I did let them jump a bit more in the vids because I wanted the look of them being anxious to get their "tasty" treats.

Comment on Jacket Potatoes VS Baked Potatoes

Probably one of the most deliciously simple dishes ever to come out of the kitchen, the jacket potato has become one of the most popular dishes on earth.

Comment on Why dogs cannot drink water without spattering water around water bowl?

2010-03-09T00:52:44Z

I have two dogs, one a Labrador and one is a cavachon. My 4 year old son always asks why the dogs spill so much water from their bowl, and I thought it had to be from their tongue, but now I have a more clear cut answer to tell my son. Amazing how their tongues curl up like that. The Labrador spills the most water, she is usually the most thirsty. Thanks for the post.

Comment on Japanese cooking: Gyoza (Pot sticker)

2010-03-08T05:57:21Z

Gyoza or Jiaozi or Pot stickers is Chinese dish spread to other area of Asian countries including Japan. Japan has its version of Gyoza or Jiaozi, and there is also Nepali version. Sometimes, people mistake Chinese dumpling (Dim Sum)or Shumai as we Japanese call it with Jiaozi. It is total different dish though. Chinese dumpling or Dim Sum or Shumai is also Chinese dish but spread to other area of Asia as well.You can find Chinese version, Thai version, Japanese version,Indonesian version, Philipine version.

You will most likely have doughy outside Gyoza at restaurant if you order Gyoza or Pot stickers steamed. My mother used to deep fry Gyoza now and then. It definitely comes out very crunchy and I liked it a lot. If you do deep fry them, when oil comes to high enough temperature, gently drop the frozen Gyoza or Pot stickers without thawing. If you deep fry the freshly made Gyoza, you can gently drop them into the oil until crisp.

Soft outside or crunchy outside for Gyoza or Jiaozi or Pot stickers is preference. It comes out differently depending on how you cook them.

Thanks for this recipe. I didn't realize that pot stickers were Chinese AND Japanese. I only had my first ones maybe five years ago, and wasn't real impressed, since they were sort of doughy on the outside - I see by your info that they should be crunchy on the outside? That I would like to try!

It was an hard winter. We dogs like it to play in the snow. The humans are not so happy about it. Mom said: "I hope the terrible winter is finished, soon". Your pictures and video of your dog in the snow are very nice. I would like to have a walk together.
