ominous-looking skies and peanut butter for dogs!

we're in for some heavy wind and rain this evening and all day tomorrow...


it was quite a nice morning though...pretty blue skies...and sunny...


but this afternoon these ominous-looking clouds rolled in...

no worries. we've got everything we need to hunker down and we treat rainy/windy days as days to relax and unwind.

did any of you know that dogs love peanut butter? jambaloney was in town the other day and spoke to a pet specialist and he was told that dogs love toys with peanut butter in them??? who knew??? so he picked up a few hollow chew toys and we give one filled with 100% organic peanut butter to katiyja and she lays on the floor in front of the tv, on her little pillow and licks the peanut butter from the chew toy. she loves it! and is so very well-behaved - not chewing on furniture or any of the other horror stories we have read about puppies.

so if you have a puppy or a dog - get them a hollow chew toy and as a treat - put some peanut butter in there for them - it works like a charm!

  1. Advertisers use peanut butter to get dogs to "talk" in movies. All the effort the dogs go to to "remove" the sticky stuff from their pallet makes it look like they're forming words with their mouths ;)

  2. What's really fun is to smear peanut butter all over one of the cats.

  4. Kymber, you and J consistently have the most amazing sky photos of any of the numerous blogs I read.

  5. Or, you can give her a big bite of peanut butter without the ball and watch her try to lick it off the roof of her mouth. It is hilarious! But they still love it.

  6. Peanut Butter is a great thing for occupying dogs. Kong Toys, if you can get them, are set up to have peanut butter in the middle. Syrah the Mighty will spend hours trying to lick it all out.
