A Canine Feast

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

And I don’t mean Christmas.

We love, and I mean LOVE Thanksgiving!

My girl human is no amateur to baking deliciousness for the canine types. In fact anytime a member of her family, both immediate and extended, see her in the kitchen they ask if it’s dog food or human food she’s making.  Luckily for her four legged children my human pretty much only steps foot in the kitchen to bake for us.

Thanksgiving pies have married the love of doing crazy dog things with the creativity my girl human lives for. The result…scrumptious! Honestly, I don’t care about what it looks like. Between you and me, she spends way too much time cutting out perfect little shapes and rolling out dough.  Does she think I care about aesthetics? I DO NOT. But hey whatever she needs to psych her up for days of baking. 

Here’s a photo of the pies the human made last year. Stay tuned to our instagram page next Thursday for this year’s edition.

The best thing about it (after eating my delicious food) is that we always bake a few extras to take to my doggie friends.  We don’t eat table scraps, we eat gourmet!

Do any of you have yummy thanksgiving traditions or recipes you'd like to share?

Secret Lab

The Knight Girls' Secret Lab 
aka: Home Office

 Gracie and I enter our office each morning at 6am, bright eyed and bushy tailed after a complete breakfast. Mmm...okay that might not be entirely truthful; sometimes we bring our breakfast to work with us. (And very occasionally we've been known to work from bed.)

Gracie spends the majority of her workday monitoring
 her girl human from under the desk. 

Working on her "Dream Board"

 Gracie: Warning that overtime might be approaching 

Perhaps the most important position Gracie holds is that of  CEA (Chief Executive Alarm).  She alerts for all important meetings. These include: play time, breakfast time, snack time, treat time, more bichon attention time,  "outside business meetings", and SO much more!

And we make this face a lot

This is what it looks like when we're having fun, and when we're overwhelmed, or frustrated, or really excited, or tired of Gracie's "alerts".

At the end of the day we love our job and our happy home office. Thanks for touring it with us!

Adventure Series

In today’s super exciting news we’ve got story 1 of 3 in a follow-up series from our "Zoom Zoom" post.

 

Hopefully you all remember that post. If you don’t remember it then, stop yourself right now and go read it. We aren’t terribly subtle are we?

Today’s Topic:

·      How many layers does it take to keep a Bichon warm

As many of you already know Gracie lives in Sunny South Florida, where, traditionally the belief in clothes isn't all that important. Er, I mean a belief in wearing clothes doesn’t seem all that important.

We looked on as cute pups on Instagram were sporting their fabulous winter attire.  Life, it seemed, was just unfair for the Knight Pack.  Then one-day things started looking up really quickly; we were going to visit friends in Michigan. 

(Translation: It’s now time to buy those cute, warm clothes we’ve been coveting!)

Being Utah natives, we’re no strangers to snowy conditions. The trick to warmth is all in the layers.  We packed up our base layers first, this included Gracie’s @lucyandco as well as a personalized #knightpack hoodie from  the Etsy shop of It’s Pawsonally Yours.  We finished the ensembles off with a faux fur trimmed vest from the Martha Stewart Pet Collection.

Before you even have to wonder, yes, she has a snowsuit and boots, but we went with the much cooler hipster look this year.

The Result: Pure Snowy Bichon Bliss

Let's not forget out @wagaware charm. 50% of proceeds support rescue dogs and dog charities.

Temperatures were frigid to say the least, but I don’t think Gracie noticed. I’m pretty sure she would have spent our entire stay out in the snow if I’d let her.  I’m afraid we can’t be sure exactly how many layers it takes to keep Gracie warm, but a snappy hoodie and vest combo certainly can’t hurt.
