Dehydrator Experiment

When I have gone to the pet food stores recently, it seems there is a craze for dehydrated dog treats made of duck and sweet potato. They are quite expensive, but Drizzy and Chloe just love them. I decided to try and make my own version. I bought a couple large yams and got some free venison meat from a friend/hunter. Fuzzy sliced the potatoes into long pieces and the meat very thin. I wrapped the meat around the potato and placed in my dehydrator. Here is a before picture.

After about 7-8 hours both the meat and potato appeared done.

Here is a side by side picture of the store bought $10 a bag and my version (on the right). The dogs loved them!

Thanksgiving 2010

Fuzzy and I were up unusually early today. We went to nearby Dollar General to pick up 2 for $1 Hot Wheel cars. Fuzzy has to work, so we will celebrate Thanksgiving on Saturday... Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend!

Bath Day

Yes, even in winter bi-weekly baths must go on. Here is Chloe after her bath, wrapped in a towel with a space heater keeping her warm.... She prefers not to blow dry!



Meg's Jewels on Black Block

My work on Meg's block in the Jewels on Black RR. I love how the colors pop on the black background.

Here are some pictures of progress on Peggy Sue's block in the Asian Round Robin. The first is the work of Candji and Rita, and the second picture is of my additions.





Rita's Jewels On Black Block

I just finished Rita's block today for the Jewels on Black round robin. It took me a while to bead the butterfly, it was my first attempt at it. I hope she likes it.
