Review: The Honest Kitchen’s Single Serve Cups
The Honest Kitchen’s Single Serve Cups It’s been a whirlwind of traveling for work. I worked two weeks straight without a day off — and that was bad enough! But to add to the misery, I had to work both weekends, too, and those were traveling weekends. I actually started my vacation on Friday, but […]
Review: The Honest Kitchen’s Minimalist Recipes
The Honest Kitchen’s Minimalist Recipes Regular readers know I’m a fan of The Honest Kitchen (THK) dog food. I regularly feed my senior yellow Labrador, Tango, their human-grade dog food, Force. We looooove it. [I don’t get paid or otherwise compensated to say this. I just really like their food.] Last week, The Honest Kitchen sent […]
Review: The Education of Will
The Education of Will. Patricia McConnell is one of my favorite authors. Her writing is brilliant — she’s entertaining, and, of course, helpful. I loved her other two books The Other End of the Leash (2005) and For the Love of a Dog (2007). In all her books, Trish has shared part of herself with the reader. In her […]
The Honest Kitchen: Joyful Jerky Review

Lily and the Octopus
Lily and the Octopus Looking for a good summer read? I posted a picture of Lily and the Octopus by Steven Rowley on my Instagram account last week and promised a review. I don’t get much time to read — I thought it might take me a week to get through. The advance copy arrived right before […]
Sparkle Bar: Shampoo Bar for Your Dog
A shampoo bar? For a dog? What Is It? In short, it’s a bar of shampoo. Y’know: like a bar of soap except that it’s shampoo instead. It’s the latest product from The Honest Kitchen and we tried it out on our dogs (and ourselves)! What’s It Good For? This is a great, easy, and […]
Slippery Floor Tough on Your Older Dog? Try This!
Traction on hardwood floors is hard to come by. Almost all of the flooring in our house is hardwood or tile. We have dogs, hard floors are easier to keep clean than carpeting. However, our dog family is getting older. Three of our dogs are past their first decade, and our oldest at 13.5 years […]
Freshpet: New Baked Dog Food Recipes
With the addition of monster-dog Schooner who eats 10 cups of dry food each day, I’ve been looking for a high quality, convenient, and reasonably priced dog food for him. At about the same time I was researching different dog foods, I stumbled across a new Freshpet offering in Target. I’m a dedicated Freshpet user, usually the […]
