Chef Gumbo’s Recipe Review – Banana Mutt Cookies


Chef Gumbo

 
 
This recipe is courtesy of the Three Dog Bakery.  Mom made a batch for Tugg and I last night and they were banana-licious!!! 
 
I give it 3 out of 4 paws.  Tugg gives it 3 ½ out of 4 paws.

If you’d like to try these for yourself, you can find the recipe on the Three Dog Blog at http://threedog.com/_tdogb/3rd-day-recipes/three-dog-3rd-day-june/.  Mom halved the recipe and added a little more applesauce than what it called for.  
 
“Bone” appetit! 
 
Love & licks,

“Oh Lord It’s Hard To Be Humble”

Tugg and I went to the groomer on Monday to further our rugged handsomeness.  This is not our favorite task.  Mom is usually dragging us with nails screeching.  But afterwards….ahhhh!!!!  At least they respect our manhood and don’t put bows in our hair.  Below is an after pic. 

Me & Tugg
I feel good.  I look good.  As the Don Mac song says, “Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble, but I’m doing the best that I can.” 

Love &  licks,
Gumbo

The Dog Days of Summer

The Dog Days of Summer are here!  It is so hot I’ve only been going outside to take care of the necessities…if you catch my drift.  It’s supposed to get up to 108 degrees here today.  That’s not the heat index but actual temp! 
 
As a result of this extended heat wave, I’ve been chillin’ indoors where it’s cool, playing fetch in the living room, watching a little TV, etc.  One show on the Animal Planet titled Dogs 101 especially caught my interest.  Below is an image of me enjoying an episode.  It had me on the edge of my seat, or should I say armrest.   
 
 
In ancient times it was believed that the extreme heat of The Dog Days was due to the star Sirius’ (also known as the Dog Star) close proximity to the earth.   Sirius please do us all a favor and go fetch in a galaxy far, far away.  I’m one hot dog in need of some “Sirius” relief.
