Walk, Foster, Adopt A Dog

Doing Strange Things With Dead Animals
In the small town of Torrington, Alberta, there is a dead gopher museum. Not everyone appreciates this museum as it is a little bit odd. They have several small display cases featuring taxidermied (dead and stuffed) gophers, most of whom were s
Third Times The Charm!
It took me 3 batches, but I finally got it right!!! :) The batter for my first batch was too thin to make cookies, so I made doggy muffins instead. Silly me didn't refrigerate them, so they got moldy! I experimented with the second batch and they a

Diary – Monday 12th January 2014

I Am Beyond Mad
