I love my boys

I love these little guys so much. It's hard to go a day without hearing jingling and jangling of tags and the pitter patter of little paws on the hardwood floor. Ralphie is the big brother, which automatically makes him the dominant one. Brutus is the little baby of our family, he cuddles and cooes and can't stand being alone. Both are troublemakers on their own, but when they get together mischeif is bound to be made.

Justine and I don't have any human children at the moment, but these puppies are our boys. They are our four legged, furry babies. They are extremely spoiled, and they know it. Ralphie has the rule of the roost, but soon enough when we have enough for a trainer there will be some structure back in this house. Brutus is the "well behaved" one because when ever your voice is raised above a whisper, he rolls over on his back and gives puppy eyes.

I love these boys more than anything. I justed wanted to gush about my dogs.

Honey Apple Cinnabones

Another tutorial and a recipe?! Wow. This week was chalked full of goodies.

Please enjoy the recipe and step by step tutorial on baking yummy Honey Apple Cinnabones by yours truly!

Ingredients:
1 large apple (I used a Fuji Apple) 1/4 cup honey (I used Clover Blossom honey) 1/2 cup of water 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup old fashioned oatmeal 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 ° F (180 ° C)

Step 2: Core, slice and mince the apple. The larger you leave the chunks of apple the harder it will be to have the dough form a ball later.

Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the minced apple, oatmeal, and cinnamon.

Step 4: Add water and honey and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Step 5: Blend in the wheat flour, adding enough to form a stiff dough and somewhat sticky dough.

Take a moment to look down and see any beggers or eager eaters and smile. :D


Step 6: Form a ball with the dough.

Step 7: Add some extra wheat flour to your cutting board and roll ball of dough to about 1/2 thickness .


Step 8: Cut out any shape using your cookie cutters. If you do not wish to make shapes out of the dough simply drop cookies on an ungreased baking sheet. I lined my cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Bake for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes flip the bones over and let them bake for 15-20 more minutes.
Let cool for a few hours. Overnight is best.

See your pups enjoy!

Stay tuned

Caught.

We did it! We caught the cup napper!

Watch the video and be just as shocked as we were.


You might want to fast word to about 3 minutes. The first minute is me leaving and Ralphie and Brutus making sure the coast is clear.

Puppy Lovey

Hello Loves,

I am taking a step back from the house talk since we FOUND A HOUSE TO RENT. We have been approved to rent a 3bd 1ba 1100 sq ft house. The house is so cute and has a huge backyard that has three separate gardening sections.

A few days ago, while working from home, I glanced over to my left to see my baby puppy, Brutus, knocked out. Of all the space in the bedroom he decided to lay his pretty little head, not on the puppy pillow you can see to his left, but instead on the warm carpet so that the sun can fall on him warm his little belly.

I could not resist, so I snatched up my iPhone and snapped away while he snoozed. Brutus Wayne Garcia-Santos will be one year old on August 16th. He is a Dapple Dachshund and the apple of my eye. Brutus is the baby of the family by 3 months since Ralphie already turned one in April. Speaking about Ralphie, he actually got a haircut today. Check back tomorrow to see his rather interesting and rockin' doo!
