I'm looking for both snack and meal recipes for an older dog that's kind of sedentary but LOVES to eat. I'm convinced the food at the grocery store is either highly caloric or filled with a bunch of junk.
Thanks for your suggestions!

anybody have any good dip recipes
I bought a couple bags of those cornchips called scoops. Last night I made guacamole but now I've got 1 and 1/2 bags of chips left. Anyone have any good ideas of things I could use them for?
Love the doggie car-seat idea - you are a good mommy :)
I'm so sorry about your sister's dogs.
Ideas and recipes all sound good...
Now I have to make up my mind which to try tonight! That is a nice dilemma to have.

Where's a bad doggie?? (nm)

Truly feel for you -- my doggie is 16
I have a chow/lab mix and she turned 16 on Valentine's day and I know that the end will be soon. Took her to the vet and her blood tests are all good but she has a lot of trouble with her back legs but still walks about a mile a day. But I just want to keep her as comfortable and happy as I can these next months or so. Vet said whateverI was doing keep doing as he has never seen a healthier 16 year old. She is deaf but no catarcts. No leakage either. But I don't want her to suffer and that is my main concern. But I know what you are going through and it is so hard to love an animal and lose them But we know we gave them a good life. At least she made the decision to leave and you did not have to make that decision which is what I do not want to have to do. Keep those memories in your heart.

I saw a little doggie yesterday in a car
as I pulled up to get out and looked and would have called the police, alone in the vehicle at a flea market but what saved the owner was they had the window down. The weather here was in the high 50s and climbing but I would not hesitate if the windows had been up.
I too applaud you for the doggie
I am just so glad when people do this, so many of our furry friends need a good forever home.
Doggie style???

Your doggie needs some therapy
It has no clue what it is, a Siberian and you call it a poodle. Poor thing. It has issues and I would suggest a good therapist!
I am really sorry about your doggie having problems
Glad i did not take the suggestion of my aunt who told me - well I wouldn’t spend a lot of money on her- when I said taking to the vets. I understand animals get sick as we do but I do not consider just throwaways like some do. Hope your furrie gets some good results. Hubs is sorta standoffish when it comes to my pets and I noticed a look when I was picking her up for some loving- don’t care if he does stands back, just don’t say anything when I am trying to help her out. I also give her 2 pills x2 each day and he just cannot believe I do this. Somebody gotta take care of the babies, right?
I had seen a picture of new first doggie
and I loved his dark coloring with his white boots on. I am sure the girls will love this beautiful pooch, I know I would but then again I love most animals with fur.
They told us we were going to a doggie resort....
....but I have a sneaking suspicion obedience school is in our future!
I know the doggie had surgery, went personally
to the animal clinic and talked with the veterinarian and others there, told them to contact me. I would seek out attention for an injured animal whether it comes to my front door or on the street. Heavens only knows if the guy takes the medicine? Druggies might do about anything but I appreciate the information you have passed along. I explained some months ago unable to financially care for the dog anymore - I had things I wanted to do in renovations at my own home- and they would have to take care of it so it has been some months since I last bought the medicine. Having said that, got email here about a week ago and have not answered- she was coming across as ole woe doggie. Well, what about woe me? I told her- I would rather not lose her friendship but I had thought about calling on the dog before the son turned the animal over to his mother. Thanks again!
Not buying any more doggie medicine
where she gets the medicine it is twice what I can get here in my town. i asked my veterinarian and ordered it one time for them (and paid that time) but have not paid since. I was asking hubs about picking it up and sending it as I doubt very seriously my veterinarian office would mail to her out of town. Guess I will not do that now- not trying to enable as she would pay for it.
A doggie named Auggie. (nm)

I am loving these doggie-auggie
pictures- they are just too cute. I also do not know how to post pictures or I would show you my 2 fine male cats. They are real charmers their own self. Loving these, keep it up!
I think I am running a doggie day care here sm
LOL I have 2 dogs of my own a golden and a cocker. My son and his girlfriend magically get this chihuahua (sp?). Anyway, he is apparently abandoned by his owner who moved to California and said she would be "back in a couple of months" to take him back. When he first came into the area, his owner had a "party" and the puppy who is all of 7 months old got into some pot and ate it-had to be rushed to the vet for nasty temperament changes, and wow talk about mean. He bit anything and everyone including me at least 3 times. Well, we have all been working very hard with this little tiger to bring that demon temperament under control and he's coming along quite nicely, gets along with all of us, loves to play with my dogs and run in the yard. So what's the problem? I think I have spoiled him with love and discipline. He has to come over every day now. It's so cute. All my son has to say is "want to go see the dogs?" and he's jumping all over the place. I sure hope the owner doesn't come to claim him back because he is so well behaved now. All he needed was a little discipline and letting him know he can't run the show. He doesn't even bare his teeth at me anymore. He's such a doll. All the dogs lay in front of the full-view door and take their naps in the sun.
GROSS doggie question.
Bruiser is 14 months old, Duke is a year old. Bruiser licks Duke's behind a lot. We've only had Bruiser for two months, and I've noticed the licking just within the last couple of weeks. He also licks Duke's eyes and ears.
I don't think Duke's anal glands need expressed. He doesn't drag his butt or anything like that, and his stool is fine.
What's up with this behavior, anyone know?
Doggie Fiber Question
 Okay, will someone set me straight on this, PLEASE!
If your dog's stools are not firm and well formed (mushy, but not diarrhea) do they need MORE fiber in their diet or LESS? I just can't seem to get this straight because I've been advised both ways.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

And so will my doggie Tasha. She loved kitties. sm
Her fave was chasing them and then letting them chase her. I lost her when she was 14,too. She's been gone for 3 years but I still miss her.
**Click for PICTURE of Jake, Desperado's doggie!**
I just love all these "kid" pictures! Jake is such a fashion forward little man with that scarf of his!
For us, my husband swears my little doggie goes nuts whenever I leave sm
the house. I refuse to believe this. We have a love-hate relationship. haha She always sits in my favorite chair whenever she KNOWS I'm fixin to get off work and she won't budge either! She gives wayy more attention to the kids and husband than to me! I'm the one who feeds her all the time while cooking, so I kid with my hubby that she's afraid her "chef and cook" is not going to come home whenever I leave. I've NEVER seen her act the way my husband describes. He says she runs in circles, runs around, tries to look out the windows and will do this until I come home! the other night my husband took the kids to a ball game and she just watched them walk out the door and didn't flinch the whole time. I think it's hilarious!
Wow..my mom had a schnauzer-mix named Jasper years ago!! Great little doggie!! nm

recipes
We are going to a family reunion this weekend and I'm looking for some new ideas for something to take. Not anything too complicated since I work full time at home with 4 kids plus mother-in-law and 2 extra family members will be here tonight from Arizona and staying with us. Can be anything - dessert, side, main etc. Just having a hard time coming up with anything really yummy to feed a big group. Have lots of chicken in the freezer so maybe something down that line. Thanks!!
Why would you want recipes when
you find disgusting? That is very strange.
Looking for recipes
Okay - i'm looking for really yummy dinner recipes that are very cost-effective. During the week it's mainly me and my 7-year-old and I'm sick of spaghettios, hot dogs, and chicken nuggets. Hubby is home on weekends but I get tired of making the same things every weekend, not to mention the cost of groceries sometimes makes it difficult to have the "standard" meat, potatoes, veggie, bread dinner! TIA
Looking for recipes for...
microwave candies or relatively foolproof stove-top or oven methods, preferrably ones that have been tested. I typically bake and decorate iced cake-mix cookies and make up gift boxes for neighbors, friends, the mailman, etc., but candies would be a nice addition...fudge, divinity, pralines, nut brittles, killer brownies or anything else you may have in your repertoire would be appreciated.
Found some recipes for you :)

many many rotel recipes
go to the below link and enjoy. Ro-tel is a wonderful addition to almost any recipe.
http://www.texmex.net/Rotel/main.htm
Also for an added idea take a brick of softened cream cheese and pour some mexican Ro-tel on and serve with chips. Also add some cooked ground sausage to the Velveeta with Ro-tel.
Rotal adn Velveeta are staples in my home and I live in WA and I can buy it at any major grocery store.
HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY!!!!
Northpole recipes
I just received an email with some Northpole recipes. I thought I would share.
I was given this link:
www.northpole.com/kitchen/cookbook
have fun!
Lots of recipes at
foodtv.com Everything you ever wanted.
cooking/recipes
Is there a cooking or recipes board available - just curious.
Any recipes/ideas for
leftover roast, besides stew!
Tripe recipes
If you're really interested in tripe recipes there are some in Maya Angelou's cookbook. I haven't tried any of them so I have no idea how good they are.
bread recipes
Would the kind lady who posted her bread recipes please reply to me, even if it is my private e-mail address, with the recipes that she had for 4 loaves of bread. My hard drive crashed and even though I copied the recipe to my word expander, I was not able to print it out.
So, where's those cookie recipes?
Go ahead flood the board with cookie recipes. I can handle it.. I can bake every one of them, while I am listening to one dictator flip pages, and the other pausing..c'mon give me whatcha got. But seriously, I need some new ideas for the kids because pop n fresh dough holiday cookie cut outs. PS: See, I am finally getting in the holiday spirit.
No recipes here, just wanted to say...
 Glad you're gettin' in the spirit and feeling better!
Leftover ham recipes?
I had a big spiral ham Christmas Eve buffet but too much other food and a large portion, over half, not touched. I never leave my food out long, asked everyone if they were sure they didn't want more, put it in the fridge with intent to send some home with them but they had so many cookies, etc., to take that they didn't take any. I am going to a party tomorrow and wondered if along with what I am bringing, should I grind some ham up and make a ham salad to be put on nice crackers or rolls? I don't want it to look like I'm pushing leftover ham from Christmas but it will only be the 6th day and it's only the two of us here, so I hate to waste it. I'm not sure if I should just skip the idea or use it up. I don't want to look like an old cheapo.
Yummy Recipes
I bought two Foster Farms Chickens, on sale, not over $5.00, well I got three meals out of those two chickens, cut each up for frying the best parts, made chicken soup with the less desirable parts, back, etc. adding my last frozen pack of tomatoes from DH garden last summer, and other veggies, bow tie pasta, sprinkled with fresh chopped parsley and parmesan, Yummie. The other two packages, one will be oven fried chicken, recipe on breadcrumb container and the other from my Campbell's Soup Cookbook, something or other. Not bad for the price!
New dinner recipes
Hey all........I am sitting here (before lunch) thinking what the heck I'm going to make for dinner....I am sooooo tired of making the same things, week after week.....anyone have any new, easy dinner recipes?? Maybe your same-old will be new to me!
There are a lot of recipes for microwave
fudge floating around. I don't have one but the ones I have eaten are very good.
fudge recipes
Thanks for all the good recipes. My mother used to be the "queen of candy making" until she got Alzheimer's but I never wrote down her recipes if she ever had one; and of course could not remember how she made it or the variations - she just "winged it" and I stirred it because she had severe arthritis in her hands. Thanks for sharing!
Need some Xmas goodies recipes..
Looking for recipes to make some fairly easy yet yummy Christmas goodies for gift giving. No heavy baking or long recipes please. Stuff along the lines of snack mixes, that powdered sugar "puppy chow" (I think that's what it's called lol), etc. Stuff that can be made in large batches ahead of time and not needing refrigeration. There are so many great cooks out here..so this is the first place I thought of to get some great ideas. Thanks ahead to all who respond!! :)
Anyway cook using Rachel Ray's recipes? sm
I'm always looking to try something different and her 30 minute meals sure look tasty and easy.
