One of the benefits (ha!) of living in a pine forest…big beetles! This one is almost as large as my finger. 😳😛 They are harmless though and I’d rather have them than this horrible yellowjacket infestation that we are dealing with currently.

Green bananas🍌 can prevent and reduce cancers by over 60%, according to the American Association of Cancer Research, so maybe stop hunting for those yellow bananas in the supermarket!

You can boost your dog’s immune and gut health with unripe, green bananas, which have less sugar and more fiber than in their ripened state. Research shows that green bananas offer:

🍌Pectin and prebiotics to build the microbiome and increase the production of butyrate and other short-chain fatty acids

🍌Leucocyanidin, a flavonoid that may help to prevent GI ulcers by inhibiting the release of histamine in the gut

🍌Resistant starch (non-digestible) fiber that helps to prevent intestinal disease, increase mineral absorption and B vitamin synthesis, control blood sugar, improve immune response, and may even prevent intestinal cancer

Need a treat for a dog with a sensitive stomach?

Quartered slices of green banana are a perfect training treat, whether your dog is prone to diarrhea or not. Suggested amounts, chopped into bite sized pieces:

Giant breeds: 1 green banana a day
Medium to large breeds: ½ green banana a day
Small breeds: ¼ green banana a day

In Chapter 3 titled TREATS and TOPPERS of The Forever Dog LIFE book, we give you a rainbow 🌈 of options to treat your dog to better health including recipes that use bananas in a creative way and baking options like green banana flour that is a low glycemic healthier alternative to plain white flour! Now available ..and ON SALE for 50% off at almost all major retailers.

Happy 11th Birthday to Princess Mia Bella! It’s not the most flattering photo as she was not liking having to wear anything but her usual tiara. 😂👑🖤

This is so adorable! I used to have horses and goats (and more!) I do miss that life but maybe one day we can have that again before we’re too old. I’d like to have them for our grandchildren mostly.

Watch to the end. 🥰

Look who turned 8 years old today! Beautiful (and chubby) Shasta Bear! 🖤 She is still the sweetest, meltiest-in-your-lap dog ever! (yes I just made that up) We nicknamed her “The Closer” because anyone who had the privilege of coming to meet her puppies was instantly sold when they met Momma Shasta. 🥰

Here’s to another 8 years, Shasta Bear! 💞

It's about to get real, peeps! Keep your pets safe! More dogs go missing on the 4th of July than any other day and let's not forget about all the cats and other poor critters that suffer from the big scary booms. I'm all for the professional shows but not in favor of the illegal fireworks going off everywhere else. Our poor old girl trembles uncontrollably during thunder, gunshots or fireworks. We haven't found anything that really helps yet short of a trip to the vet. Living out where we do now helps a lot as we don't have a whole lot of bombs going off out here where fires are a huge threat. Now last night's thunderstorm was totally uncalled for. 😆

You’re welcome.

Seriously, I’ve been telling people this for years! My appliance repairman told me this 20 years ago. Do. Not. Rinse. Your. Dishes. Before. Loading. 😆

Now I see that it’s right there on the door. 👀

Does your dishwasher have this sticker also?

Good stuff right here!

THE #1 REASON OLDER DOGS ARE EUTHANIZED MIGHT SURPRISE YOU: PAINFUL JOINTS.🔥🦴🐾

Osteoarthritis and the pain, limited mobility, and diminished quality of life that accompany it claim more dogs’ lives than any other cause 💔. The most important thing to remember is the process of joint degeneration is happening long before your dog begins limping.

There are many drugs and medications available to treat arthritis pain in dogs, but they come with a whole host of possible side effects ranging from mild GI symptoms to organ damage.

But there is good news! A recent study published in the international journal of molecular sciences, shows dogs with osteoarthritis supplemented💊 with glucosamine PLUS curcumin🫚 resulted in less pain, better mobility, and even decreased damage to the cartilage in joints. In another study, dogs fed a diet containing curcumin, plus collagen and green tea🍃 extract had significantly reduced osteoarthritis pain, and became more mobile.

The constituents in foods have real, healing properties, and you can take advantage of curcumin’s powerful anti-inflammatory effects to support your dog’s joints whether he’s been diagnosed with osteoarthritis or you’re being proactive to prevent joint damage.

Curcumin is found in turmeric🫚, and we’ve included this golden root in many recipes in the The Forever Dog LIFE book to make it easy for you to incorporate its benefits - which also include antioxidant and anticancer properties - in your dog’s🐶 (and cat’s😻) every day life.

Here are a few of the gems💎 you’ll find in our new book to help you introduce this health-promoting spice to your four-legged family members:

Try our Apoptosis Bites 🧀🫚🍄 for a snack that packs a functional punch. Apoptosis is the body’s clean-up mechanism to remove old or diseased cells, and add curcumin here to boost this natural process.

Or make our Ultimate 2.0 Turmeric Paste🍯 - and supercharge it with green tea🍵 for even more benefits. And bone broth🫖🦴, rich in collagen, is the perfect vehicle for turmeric to lend its joint-supporting assistance.

And, of course, we included turmeric🫚 in a number of our complete and balanced recipes. It’s a superstar ingredient that provides essential nutrients, too! For more information or to pre-order, visit www.ForeverDogLIFE.com

You CAN teach an old dog a new trick! Especially if it’s Mia. 🥰

It’s chubby Shasta that I’m working on but she’s the biggest clown and super lazy! 😛

I was looking for something in the closet and came upon this gem. Who can tell me where it came from? 🎶do do do do do do do!🎶

This sweatshirt is responsible for Dan and me meeting each other back in early April 1985. (He proposed two months later! 🥰) He stopped me at the health club counter where he was working part time just because I was wearing it.

So I guess I’m some strange way, we have Satan to thank. 😳😂🤣

Here we go! Milling our first batch of flour! Next step photos in comments. Bread will be ready in three hours. 🤤

I’m seriously hoping and praying that it goes just like she Becker stated: that I won’t have reactions to wheat or gluten in this form. 🙏🏻

I’m about to start a new endeavor because I’m sick of gluten free bread and the cost of that get-by substitute. I recently listened to a lady that does a nutrition podcast that is all about eating as God intended. I’m excited to try milling and baking my own wheat bread. Sue Becker of The Bread Beckers explains how milling your own flour leaves all the 44 great things in it that help with health and digestion. She believes most of us would not need to be GF if we ate wheat the way God intended us to. Well He is the Bread of Life so I’m going with His idea! 🙏🏻🙌🏻 I’ll post an update once we’ve tried this out for a bit. And if any of you are interested, I can share the podcast with you. 😊
