Picky Princess' Recipe Corner


Woo Hoo Doggies! Dad came out of a long run of duds and hit one out of the park! Good thing, too, 'cause Tank's been losing a lot of weight lately and he has none to spare. Vet says there's nothing wrong, so dad's gonna have to improve his game considerably. We have a huge shipment of Timberwolf on the way, so that should help. Dad buys natural peanut butter and pours the oil off to use later. Here's what dad did last night.

Pumpkin, microwaved with water or canned or cooked any way you want.
peanut oil
ground meat of your choice
Chicken stock
rice, cooked

Fry half the pumpkin in 2 tsp peanut oil to flavor.
Combine all ingredients and mix with kibble.
serve at the temperature your pups prefer.

Beg them to eat

Art Gallery and Congrats to Nanook! Now with more Nook art!


Good newfs! We are and we have some! First, the most famous newf in the dlogosphere, Nanook, just passed his therapy dog test! Congratulations Nanook! See below for more Nanook art.

Also, we are now Timberwolf dealers! Any of you in the KC area that wants this great dog food with lots of flavors, just let us know. We have our favorites in stock and can order any others. It's expensive, but it's worth it. OK, end of commercial!

In other news, we have decided to gather our works of Art along with artists' statements in one place. Being prolifically creative, we shall probably do this periodically. Nanook figures prominently here 'cause he inspired us to blog and to start creating works of art. Here's our most famous, dedicated to the memory of Oscar Airedale and entered into Nanook's contest "Do Airedales Malt" of oh so long ago. You have to click on the picture to get a good look at a larger version. It's best to right click, choose open in new tab or window, then come back here.


Artists' Statement:

"At first it was difficult to see how to answer this question. Then I realized, Wait, she must have heard the rumors but was too embarassed to ask plainly. The real question is, "Do Airedales Melt?" Well Ms. Searcher, you have found your answer. Airedales are both clever and fragile. Being terrorists, they have an almost mystical ability to melt into the background and to seem to be in many places at once. Susceptible to the ravages of time and sunlight, they can melt away like a wet wicked witch. No one captured the duality of melting Airedales better than the famous Newfoundland painter, Salivator Daily. 'The Persistance of Airedales' is the haunting and sensitive portrayal of the magic and tragedy of the Airedale's life. Yes, Virginia, Airedales really do melt. Mr. Daily was also sensitive to the hopes of dogs like Nanook everywhere that in heaven they will, well, you know... (get their 'boy bits' back) Win or lose, I'd like to thank Stanley, Oscar, Maggie, Mitch and Miss Sunshade for providing pictures, Nanook for coming up with the idea, Pooka for keeping Nanook active, and Nessie for writing it all down. I'd also like to thank Salivator Daily for his inspiration and encourage you all to work for world peace. Thank you, thank you very much.

And the painting it parodies:



Princess also had an entry. Hereeeee's hers:

Understanding the social context of the dlogosphere increases the depth and hilarity of this picture considerably. You have to click on the picture below to be able to see it clearly enough to read and understand it. It's best to right click, choose open in new tab or window, then come back here. The Human in the last picture is Nanook's mama, who commissioned the picture that follows.



As you all know, Airedales are among the classiest pups ever to grace the canine kingdom. While it is possible to concieve of a circumstance where an Airedale would “malt”, it's more likely that someone was looking to see if Airedales “mall”. Do they go to the mall for classy and fashionable outfits and classy and fashionable companionship? And the answer is, “Of course they do!”

Here's a typical day at Blooming-Dales, where, like the Saturn Dealerships, they carry their competitors wares for comparison:



In other Newfs, here's our buddy Nanook! Wish him well on his therapy dog test.


WAIT! Stop the presses! Before we finished this post the news just came in! Nanook passed his therapy dog test!! Yaaaaaaay, Nanook!!! You are such a clever boy!! I know you made your mama very proud! I'm sure she's gushing over you! WOOOO HOOO! Congratulations Nanook! We know there's some of the captain in you now!


Here he is as the Crocanook. Wont the little kids love him? Nanook also does celebrity impersonations. Here he is as Groucho Marx. Are ya happy to see us or is that a carp in your mouth?


Here's Nanook doing Ringo Starr. We always knew the Nookster napped to the beat of a different drummer!
