previously, i posted these pics of our foster dog. well, he is now our family member. :)

we decided to adopt calvin (formerly leland) today and we are so happy! he fits in so well at the house and with the other dogs & cat and we are so excited to have another grey in the family! they are such wonderful dogs. if you are ever looking for the perfect family pet, you should definitely look into rescuing a retired racer. they have such sweet, gentle dispositions and make excellent family members!

lingerie shower cake!

petsmart show & tell

we will be at the edmond petsmart on saturday, oct. 10th from 12:00-2:00 with cami and the gang! stop by and say hello... maybe you will fall in love with one of our new foster greyhounds! :)

great christmas gift idea- for all you pet lovers!

this woman is from the okc area and does amazing paintings of animals (and more!)

if you provide her with a picture she can make it a painting! my favorite is the pastel of "kissable cotton." she even offers gift certificates.

hot spiced cider

• 8 cups (2 qt. bottle) apple cider
• 4 cups (1 qt.) cranberry juice cocktail
• 4 whole cloves
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• peel of 1 small orange
• dark rum (optional)

bring everything (except rum) to a boil. drop the heat to low and simmer for 35 minutes. fish out the cloves, cinnamon sticks & orange peel before serving. if you want to make this an alcoholic cider, add 2 tbsp. dark rum to each mug before you fill it up with cider.

greyhound cookies!

the greyhound adoption group had a garage sale on saturday, so i made these cookies for them to sell. the entire garage sale ended up netting about $1250... all of which went directly to funding vet bills, food & care for the dogs. what a fabulous success!







every time i make rolled sugar cookies i vow to never make them again. give it a week... i still have about a pound of dough left! any suggestions?

boomer & scooter play tug of war!

somehow, i found a wall hanging that combines two of my favorite things... chihuahuas and cake. etsy.com is amazing! i can't wait to get it and hang it in my pantry!
