Tuesdays With Tag - Summer Treats...

 

Hi, Everybody!

 

I was feelin' a little artsy-fartsy today, so I played with this picture of Carly and me with Dad for you to look at. We were just hangin' out on the porch and enjoyin' a little summer breeze.

It's been hot around this joint lately, so Mom pulled out a treat recipe she's gonna make for us this week. I don't have to tell you we're all lookin' forward to it! I thought I'd share the particulars with you, so here goes...

CORGI BUTTS DOGGIE ICE CREAM

recipe found on CorgiButts blog (link below)

 Yield: 1 ice cube tray of ice cream

Ingredients

16 oz. plain yogurt

1 banana

2 tablespoons peanut butter

a handful of frozen or fresh blueberries (optional) 

 

Mash the first three ingredients together until smooth and then stir in the blueberries.

Scoop mixture into ice cube trays and freeze. Microwave a few second before serving,

or let sit out to soften a bit if you don't have a microwave. You can also add honey, if desired.

Mom said she thinks this might even be a tasty people treat, but Bella, Carly and I are hopin' it's just for us. I mean, we don't eat their ice cream. Seems only fair that these should be for dogs only!

Just to add a little excitement around here, Miss Carly Pants has come in heat. She won't be bred this time, so there's that, but even so. Her comin' in makes for more than a little inconvenience for a house dog. I have no interest in her (at least not yet), and Mom and Dad are hopin' it stays that way. Mom said it's the last thing they need - me chasin' after her, even though I can't "do any damage". Whatever that means.

My only interest right now is these ice cream treats, so I hope Mom gets a move on and makes 'em today or tomorrow. Now that we know they're gonna be a thing, we're anxious to pop one (or three) down the ol' hatch!

Hope you've got somethin' cold and tasty in your future, too. Everyone should have a cool treat when it's hot outside.

 

I'll see you again in seven. 'til then...

Tuesdays With Tag - Zip, Zero, Nada...

Hi, Everybody!

You ever have one of those weeks? Things just don't go as planned, or

maybe there just isn't much goin' on? Yup...me...last week. I know

you stopped by to visit and catch up on my antics, but today I've really

got nothin' for ya. When I was doin' cool stuff, Mom didn't have her 

camera, and there wasn't anythin' earth-shatterin' to share with you anyway. 

So, here's the deal. I'm gonna share some corgi cuteness with you.

Let's talk about this first photograph...

Look at my shadow. Dad started singin' the Batman theme music when he

saw it. He thinks I look like some goofy dude in a black cape and mask.

Really? I'm not seein' it, man.

I do have many fine attributes, though. Here are just a few.

So, I hope I haven't bored you to death this week. It's hot outside and

I spend most days doin' the same things...sleepin' upside-down on my

favorite futon; swimmin' in the pool and makin' sure I don't miss a meal.

It's what I do when I'm not out makin' little kids giggle and spreadin' joy.

So I hope you're not too disappointed this week. 

I want to share one of Mom's favorite posters with you.

I think she's crazy 'bout me. giggle

I'll be back next week. Same bat time. Same bat channel.

(Man, I don't even know where that came from!)

Gotta run. 'til next week...

He's getting so big now. He weighs a little over twenty pounds now and his head and face are showing more black markings. Handsome's taken to nicknaming him "Tagwarts". Our younger son and his daughters call him "Nubbers" (because of his nub of a tail). It's so cute to hear our four year old granddaughter say, "Hi, Nubbers!" I just love it!

I'll have updated photographs of him for you next week.

'til then...

"More wagging and less barking!"
