A New Member of the Family

Hello everybody! I realize it has been a very long time since my last post (a little over a month to be exact) but I have not given up on this blog. Especially now that my life has calmed down just a little bit, I would like to keep doing this, mostly for myself. I don't have any recipes for you today but I would like to introduce the newest member of our family!

This is Ringo Starr!

He is a black and white Pit Bull and before I go any further I realize some of you will already be turned off because I said "Pit Bull". I understand that they have a very bad reputation, I myself was raised to be afraid of them and I always was... until we stopped at an adoption event just for fun and I laid eyes on this little cutie pie. Some people say that every once in a while you will have a moment where a dog chooses you and I absolutely feel like that is what happened to me with Ringo. I usually like fluffy dogs or really big dogs... preferably big fluffy dogs! Like a Saint Bernards or something like that, but little Ringo was sitting in his little wire cage thing and he looked up at me with these big chocolate eyes and that was that. I needed him in my life. We fostered him for a week and he adapted amazingly well, did fantastic with Ally and pulled on every one of my heartstrings. After that week I adopted him officially and I am so glad I did! So for all of you Pit Bull haters... you just haven't met the right Pit Bull, they are actually great dogs! did you know they were once called "nanny dogs"? It's true! Anyway, I am not here to convince you of the wonderful-ness of pit bulls, but I am sure you will be hearing the name Ringo a lot in future posts. I will be experimenting with making my own dog food and dog treats, in addition to trying to create meals that Ally will actually eat (she is in the wonderful phase where she does not want to eat anything at all unless it is covered in cheese... ugh) and healthy meals for me and my husband.

So I hope you stick around! I have recently deleted my Facebook page so I am counting on my regulars to find me without me posting my newest blogs on my page! I promise, I will make it all worth while, now that the weather has cooled off I am looking forward to being able to use my oven again! Yay!
