..Martha Stewart Pets..

the famous Martha Stewart has paired up with Pet Smart to exclusively offer pet essentials and accessories. But of course miss Martha doesn't stop there... along with her specifically designed beds, feeders, leashes, collars, toys, carriers, yada yada yada.. she gives pet advice, how to's, projects, and recipes... seriously what can't this woman do?


for those martha/dog lovers here is a doggie biscuit recipe:

Ingredients
(Makes about 5 dozen)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup brewer's yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup low-sodium canned chicken stock, plus more for brushing


Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, wheat germ, yeast, and salt; set aside.
2. Pour oil into a large bowl. Add stock and flour mixture in three alternating batches, beginning and ending with stock. Mix well.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to about 3/8-inch thick. Shape biscuits using a dog-bone-shaped cookie cutter appropriate for your dog's size.
4. If desired, you can spell out your dog's name in the dough with a wet toothpick.
5. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 10 minutes. Brush with stock; rotate baking sheets and bake 10 minutes more. Turn off oven. Let dog biscuits stand in oven to dry completely, about 1-1/2 hours. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.




they even sell cute bone cookie cutters for that special lil furry friend... ($7.99)

you can check out all of these neat products out at any Pet Smart location.. or if you "lucky you live hawaii" you can visit: Martha Stewart Pets website

happy tails..

..pet blogging..

its so exciting to see more and more people blogging about pets!!

my new fave:



Wag and Snap is a local hawaii based pet photographer(Steve Czerniak). He blogs about modern pet photography, adventures with his two little terriers, sneak peak photos of his client's pets, and helping out at our local Humane Society.

What really drew me in to the Wag and Snap blog was their recent post helping out the Hawaii Humane Society with pet adoptions. Once a week, Steve will be going to the Humane Society to photograph their newest members up for adoption.

here are some of the pooches he posted on August 6th:

I think this is such a great idea because with these pictures we are able to see these animals as living beings and not as unwanted creatures. I definitely will be checking back in on this project to see if I ever come across of a new fury friend that I may be able to open up my apartment to.

happy tails!
