Beef tongue is an amazing addition to your dog’s diet! After 10 hours in the crockpot, it becomes incredibly tender, making it easy to eat and digest—perfect for dogs of all ages, including seniors. It’s packed with high-quality protein to support muscle health, plus essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins for energy, a strong immune system, and a shiny coat. The rich, natural fats in beef tongue also help keep your pup’s skin and joints healthy. Serve it shredded or chopped for a nutritious, irresistible meal topper!

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting Colvin Ranch to pick up my special order of beef, tongues, and kidneys, which will be used for homemade dog treats and meals. A huge thank you to Jennifer for the generous discount—my dogs will truly appreciate it! I’m excited to try these new treats and love knowing they’re made from locally sourced, high-quality beef while supporting a fantastic small business.

Enrichment prep for Zep and my dogs! Today, I’m putting together some exciting activities to keep them engaged and satisfied. Since Zep has a chicken sensitivity, I’m using lamb and beef with sweet potato as his protein source. He specifically chose enrichment, so I’m prepping it to keep him happy and engaged. I’m using Toppls and a lick bowl to make snack time more interactive, then freezing them for an added challenge. Enrichment like this keeps their minds active and helps prevent boredom—happy dogs, happy life!

The Breakfast Blunder
Boiling eggs for pups to munch,
Dropped one in the trash—oh, what a crunch!
A slip, a splash, a tragic flight,
One less egg for dogs tonight.
They wagged their tails, still full of cheer,
No clue their egg had disappeared.
So I just laughed, what else to do?
Breakfast blunders—round two!

I recently rendered a large batch of tallow from high-quality fat donated by my local farmer. I use it regularly to season my pans, preventing rust and sticking, and it works beautifully. This has become part of my routine, and I swear by it!
I have more than I need and would love to share with anyone who’s interested. If you’d like some, let me know, and we can arrange a time for you to pick it up. I’m still processing more, so there’s plenty to go around!

Today, I introduced my dogs to individual buttons that say their names followed by “wants a treat.” During our first session, I began by gently placing their paw on the button and immediately rewarding them with a treat. Marionberry and Coco Bear picked up on the concept quickly, while Carl will benefit from some one-on-one training to help him achieve his goals. As a positive reinforcement trainer, I enjoy finding fun and engaging ways to interact with my dogs, and this activity has been a great experience so far!

Bear Meat for Dogs: Safety Tips
Bear meat can be safe for dogs if handled properly. Follow these tips:
1. Cook Thoroughly: Heat to 165°F (74°C) to kill parasites like Trichinella.
2. No Raw Meat: Raw bear meat can be dangerous. Always cook it.
3. Trim Excess Fat: Too much fat may upset digestion.
4. Feed in Moderation: Introduce slowly to avoid stomach issues.
5. Source Carefully: Use trusted, properly handled meat.
For a balanced meal, mix cooked bear meat with dog-safe veggies. Always consult your vet before adding new proteins. #DogNutrition #HealthyDogMeals #HomemadeDogFood #DogStew #NaturalDogDiet #BearMeatForDogs #WildGameForDogs #DogHealthTips #CanineNutrition #RawFedDogs #DogMealPrep #HealthyPup #DogDietTips #PetWellness #DogFoodIdeas #CookingForDogs #BalancedDogDiet #DogFriendlyRecipes #WildGameDiet #HappyHealthyDogs
While out doing laundry, Jake the yellow lab decided it was time to get a little mouthy and jumpy. Instead of letting things escalate, we turned it into a quick and productive training session! I focused on reinforcing Jake’s “down” behavior using primary reinforcement (food) to encourage calm and positive responses. Training moments can happen anywhere — and turning distractions into learning opportunities is key to building better behavior. Proud of Jake for refocusing so well!
