Happy National Coffee Day

For many, that morning cup of coffee is an absolute necessity, so I hope you are enjoying a free cup today from one of the many retailers offering that perk.

However, please remember that caffeine is toxic to your dog. Even decaf can cause some stomach upset.

Although there are a few brands of “dog coffee”, they are really more of a collection of herbs that just look like coffee.

It’s much better to stick with the occasional “puppuccino” cup of whipped cream if you want your dog to enjoy your Starbucks with you.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

A Creamy Cool Treat for Your Dog

Dog ice cream

With thanks to the Norris City Old Timers.

This sounds healthier than regular ice cream, but nearly as much fun as taking your dog to the ice cream stand. Maybe when social distancing is no longer recommended, we can get back to our neighborhood treasures. Or maybe I can train my dogs to go up to the window with a note and bring my ice cream back to the car? They’d never make it without scarfing down the whole cone.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
