    World Peace: A Video Demonstration

    dog-blog-of-german-shepherd-quotdolly-laquot
    I don't know about humans, or what they call "politics."
    Dogs fight over two things: Resources and Territory.
    This video illustrates my point.
    In it, I have a stick.
    I am happy with my stick.
    Gadget comes and takes my stick.
    I am unhappy.
    I bark loudly.
    The Dog-Ma finds another stick.
    She throws it for me.
    I am happy again.
    Gadget is happy too.
    I have a stick.
    Gadget has a stick.
    All is well.
    The End

    Somebody got up on the kitchen counter while the Dog-ma was out and made away with the better part of a large loaf of wholegrain bread. 
         The suspected culprit is a German Shepherd with a long enough nose to grab the loaf without difficulty.  Thankfully the dog had the good sense not to eat the plastic bag. But even so, later g.i. occurrences should be able to confirm liability beyond a reasonable doubt.
         And now we wait...

         The two of us wrestled a long time this morning. Intense and frenetic, the way dogs do after several days of rain. Then I lay down, a flat-on-the–floor dog, worn out.  He went over and lap, lap, lapped at the water, and then came and stood over me, his snout dripping wet. I let him have his moment of mock triumph, and he let me lick the water from his chin.
         I want you to meet him. My best friend., my co-dog, my littermate-after-the-fact. He’s thirteen pounds to my eighty-five, with butterfly ears and an in-your-face manner.
         He’s my brother. My responsibility. My friend.
         This is Gadget.

    They sure smell done to me!

    Dolly La's Bedtime Biscuits

    Preheat Oven to 375 degrees

    Ingredients
    Two cups high protein flour, like millet.
    One cup other type of flour, (whole wheat if you don't care about gluten free, rice flour if you do)
    One cup peanut butter
    1/2 cup rolled oats if you like
    ​1 tsp baking powder 
    1 cup water
    Optional: add 1/4 cup of ground flax seed to replace some of the flour and/or replace 1/2 of the water with a 1/2 cup pureed pumpkin or yams

    Mix it all up, roll it out, and use a cookie cutter or a cup to form into biscuits. 

    Bake on a greased sheet at 375 and make sure to turn over halfway through baking to cook on both sides.

    Cool on cooling rack before they find their way to happy doggy mouths!
