My Walk Through Life 2/11/2025

I am having an issue with positive thoughts today. I guess we all have those days. So I will post a cute picture and some recipes to make if you have pets.

My Ruby is a bit overweight and Skunkers, (not pictured) is old and processed can dog food upsets his stomach. I have  always been giving them kibble topped with soft food. I still do but now I make their soft dog food instead of  using canned. 

Recipe:

2 lbs ground poultry,, cooked with a bit of water. 

2 bags of boil in the bag brown rice, cooked 

1 bag of frozen peas and carrots or a bag of mixed vegetables. I usually toss them in the chicken after it is cooked but you can cook them and add them if you wish. 

2 cooked sweet potatoes, cut up

  I mix this up and divide in batches to refrigerate and freeze. 

Dry Dog Wash

  1 Box (1 lb) of baking soda

Test a spot on your dog to make sure it doesn't cause a negative reaction. If all seems good, rub baking soda on your dog, all the way to the skin. Keep it away from the dogs eyes, nose and mouth. Let it set for a minute or so to absorb odors and dirt. Brush the baking soda and any debris off of your pet. 

Cocktail Flea Dip

   2 Tbs vodka or dry vermouth

   1 3/4 pints water

1. In a 2 quart saucepan, stir alcohol into warm water and bring to a boil

2. Remove from heat, cover pan, and allow solution to steep for two hours.

3. Rub cooled solution into pets fur, rinse, and comb out.
