Some Friday tidbits!!
Get cooking!!!
I thought I’d offer you a couple bits of dog news to highlight that it is Friday and we need just “a little bit of this and a little bit of that!”
Oprah Winfrey has been a staunch supporter of animal rights and a loud voice against puppy mills. Last year, Oprah lost her beloved cocker spaniel, Sophie. Well, it has been just about a year since Sophie passed away and last Sunday, Oprah and Stedman Graham Oprah’s signficant other, went to the local PAWS (Pets Are Worth Saving) shelter and adopted a female cocker spaniel puppy. Oprah has two other dogs who are golden retrievers!!! She lost a male cocker spaniel named Solomon last year. You go Oprah!!
Also, more and more people who are learning to live and eat organically are doing so with their dogs as well. The executive chef at the State University of New York at Geneseo has written an organic cook book for dogs. Anne “I want to make sure (my dogs) are healthy as long as they live.” She has seven dogs of her own and one is prone to various allergies. Many of the recipes that she used to help with her dog are in the cookbook. The foods identified in her cookbook are meant to supplement the well balanced dog food one gets in a pet food store or quality grocery store. In developing her book, she worked with a canine nutritionist and a veterinarian. Her book is titled “The Healthy Dog Cookbook” (T.F.H. Publications, 2008), and can be found in Barnes and Noble as well as on Amazon.com. So c’mon, this weekend, get the book and start cooking some healthy stuff for Fido, he deserves it!!!
