By Dr. Michele Gaspar DVM, DABVP (feline) Walk the cat food aisle of any grocery or pet superstore and there are literally hundreds of options for feeding cats. Do we feed a dry kibble that is shaped like fish? Canned foods in a variety of flavors? What about new "holistic" diets that contain medicinal herbs and other nutra… read more

Do you prefer these raw or cooked? I prefer them raw. I buy a ten pound bag of carrots every week. Between the horses, donkey and Harry, we are lucky if we get to eat any! read more

I remember my mom making us cream cheese and jelly sandwiches for lunch sometimes as a kid. As an adult, I have used cream cheese in many recipes and also at parties for making cream cheese and olive dip for crackers. The one favorite I have as far as eating cream cheese...I take huge baking potatoes and make a wedge.… read more

Back when I was a kid, everyone that made mashed potatoes always put a raw egg in them. This would keep the potatoes nice and creamy and help keep them uniformly together. Well, as we all know, we ended up with the problem of salmonella. I don't know who started this in my family but, we use Hellman's in place of the r… read more

I finally saw Honeycrisp apples in Giant Eagle. Since someone had just mentioned them and how good they are, I wanted to try them. I like most apples, but definitely prefer the SWEET ones. (Surprise, surprise!) I typically like Gala and Golden Delicious the most. Granny Smith would be at or near the bottom. The Honeycrisp apples… read more

Nah.....I just wanted to try and connect this journal to pets or animals, so that's the reason for my title.... :-) I can recall that I always ordered chocolate milk every year in grade school. It was something I looked forward to every day....Somewhere along the line, it got classified as junk food and was no longer available in s… read more

My "drug boy" is still spending a lot of time in his "drug box", with a paw wrapped around the Cosmic Catnip container OR his head against it, using the container as a pillow. In other words, Zac's obsession with Cosmic Catnip persists and he is clearly preoccupied with getting more of his 'nip. Although I do allow him to party in t… read more

I can only imagine what some of you were thinking when you saw my Double D title...lol As you all know, when it comes to my everyday coffee, it's Dunkin Donuts! I drink a 4-cup coffee pot before I leave in the morning. I always get a medium and a large from Dunkin Donuts on my way to work. I drink the medium while comm… read more

My son loves REAL chili so every now and then I will make homemade chili for him. These are "Food Club" chili beans which are "generic". read more

I find this unusual, but maybe not so much, as meat is harder to digest. While being a vegetarian, I think it's wrong to make your pets vegetarian too (cats absolutely cannot survive without meat & dogs are certainly omnivores), but I notice that Brandy's poop has been very runny & getting paler (which can be a sign of malnutrition) since … read more

When Peggy brought up egg oddities the subject of green and blue eggs came up. Apparently many people have never seen them. They are layed by Aracauna or Americauna hens which happen to be one of my favorite chickens. They are also called Easter egg chickens. The inside of the egg is exactly like any other egg. Here is a picture of one of my gree… read more

Hubby had never tried a lot of different foods until he met me. For heaven's sake, he drank freeze dried coffee until I introduced him to the auto drip blends. Now, he wonders how he could have drank that "icky" stuff all those years! Thank goodness, I came along and saved him. lol He never liked real homemade stuffing until he had m… read more

Mmm, I can already smell it. I can feel it warming my hands and my stomach...I almost can't wait to open it... Yup, this is definitely some good stuff! The only thing I add besides milk (tastes better than with water), are the marshmallows I ocassionally use...Mmm, mmm, good! Another 2 C's entry! Dunkin' Donuts Hot Cho… read more
