Our dogs LOVE these EASY homemade peanut butter dog biscuits! I'm the first to admit that if a recipe is not quick and easy, it's just not gonna get made. So, I've perfected the art of One Dish baking prep. That's why I love making these biscuits. One dish to mix, one dish to bake. No tearing up the kitchen with this recipe. And, of course, they are Toby-approved! 😅
COYOTES - Do you hear coyotes howling at night?  This coyote howling contest is what we hear every night, coming from 3 different directions/packs. But, we don't actually lay eyes on the 'yotes very often until the pups are born. Then, we'll see parents almost every day until fall. Once the huge pear tree is loaded with fruit, it's a regular stop on their hunt. Toby does his part to help keep the coyotes away by eating every pear that hits the ground before they can. We're thankful for the help, lol, and Toby enjoys lending a hand, especially when it involves his favorite snack. 😅
It all happens so fast! Your hero dog just saved your life but got bit by TWO rattlesnakes while doing so. You rush him to the emergency vet where you know they expect payment when you walk in the door. With one option, ya do what ya gotta do, right? Ya plunk down that first $500 on the credit card, knowing there will likely be more.
How can you tell the hero rescue dog is happy to be home when he can't smile?
This day changed our lives - the day Toby went from being "just" a rescue dog to Hero Dog. Here is the original FB Post: "Pray for our precious Toby. He protected us by killing a rattlesnake. But, it got him in the face. He's now at the emergency vet. He's being medicated and we're waiting for blood work. Please pray he responds well and pulls through without further issue. He's such a good, precious baby boy who loves his family."
