Rachel Ray's "Rice" Christmas DIY Eat

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and, before you know it, it'll be Christmas. As a pet parent, there's a sentimental desire to include your furbaby during holiday meals. Sure, there are some foods that are suitable and safe. However, most aren't. For example, sweet potatoes are a healthy option, but when you add a brown sugar and butter glaze and top it off with ooey gooey marshmallows, it goes from yay to nay.

You Say I'm Spoiled Like It's A Bad Thing...

Earlier today I checked in on our furbaby. He was sleeping soundly on our bed curled up on 2 pillows.  On top of the pillows was one of his three favorite blankets. The second favorite blanket was curled around his head for a pillow.  The third blanket was on top of him. I placed a few of his favorite treats about a foot from where he was sleeping.  You know, just in case he woke up and wanted a snack. 

Aside from his 3 favorite plush blankets, he has a large dog bed in the living room. Beside the bed is a large, round wicker basket filled with toys and bones. The floor is scattered with various dog bones, a few of my fluffy socks and half eaten dog biscuits. In each room there are a few scattered toys and treats. When you walk into our house, there is no question we have a dog.

Which Dog Food Bowl Should I Purchase?

When it comes to dog food bowls, there's definitely no shortage.  In fact, the amount of bowls to choose from can be quite overwhelming. You have everything from your basic metal and plastic dog bowls to boutique style. Prices can range anywhere between $10 or less to $75 and over.

Make Your Own Filling For Dog Bones

Dogs and bones are a match made in heaven. When you add a tasty filling, it takes a bone to over the top delicious.  My dog goes crazy for these filled bones.  I allow him to have 2 a week.  He has mastered the process of removing the filling within a short period of time.  After it's licked clean, he takes it to his bone stashing site for future chew fixes.
