No sound so you didn't hear me telling him to lick it not to bite it! LOL
Something so simple that went down so well. Every dog should have his or her own ice lolly.

They should, how did you make it?? Love the look on his face in the video.. too cute lick lick lick!
Alison:
I make Tipper something similar with Greek yogurt. I stuff it in her kong and freeze it. It keeps her busy licking it for quite some time, and she loves it. I have been giving her lots of veggies as I need to watch her weight, as it is easy for her to pick up some extra ounces. Hope you get cooler temps. WE have cool temps and a light breeze, I will send some your way. Blessings

Cairo gets veggies with his dinner as well. It's a lot cooler today - much more pleasant for me and Bobo (his pet name). Everyone else is saying that it's got "colder" - nope, it's just pleasant. So thank you Patti for sending some cooler temps to us LOL
Here's the recipes for his ice lollies
Ingredients:-
1 banana
1 small cup of peanut butter (smooth)
2 small cups of natural yoghurt
2 tablespoons of honey
To Make:-
1. Mash the banana and stir into the yoghurt.
2. Warm the peanut butter on the hob or in the microwave until it is easy to stir.
3. Add the honey to the banana/yoghurt mix.
4. Mix in the peanut butter.
5. Mix everything together until well combined.
6. Pour into non-stick trays or containers or ice lolly moulds and freeze - you can use ice cube trays or small containers too.
7. Freeze overnight or until frozen through.
8. Give them to your doggies...sit back...and watch them enjoy
Alison:
I have some molds so I will have to make Tipper some, but I will have to go really easy on the peanut butter because of the fat. We are having a good day even though it did heat up a bit it is not raining and for that I am glad. So happy you got the cooler temps we sent you. blessings

Alison:
How are you and Cairo doing? I think he may have a good chance of not showing any Cushings symptoms for a long time. It would be nice if her never did! We have rain here, but at least no storms yet. It is very hot and humid out. The windows in the house fog up form the air conditioning on and the moisture from outside. Hope you are doing well and staying out of this heat. Blessings

He seems to be ticking away nicely. He's not eating much though but he seems to have lost a bit of weight as well. Don't worry though - it's not that he's not eating because he's unwell - he's still game for a treat and an ice lolly, he's just not eating much of his dinner.
Had a trauma yesterday - found a tick on him and I nearly died a death. I can cope with almost anything except creepy crawlies. I took him up to the vet and one of the nurses removed it.
He'll be 9 this year and he's never had a flea or a tick or anything and he's never ever had flea treatment applied either but we had to get flea and tick treatment today - they're rife round here just now because of the hot and humid weather. I feel terrible for giving him chemicals but it's for his good.
I'm still shuddering at the thought of the tick........... :eek:
It's cooled a bit, either that or we've got used to it.
Alison:
Did they say anything about checking him for tick diseases? Could that be why he is not eating his regular meal too well? Those ticks can cause a lot of problems for such little critters. Where was it at on his head? They usually stay in taller grass so when something walks past they can hitch a ride. It is miserable here today as well, hot and humid and tornado weather coming. Hope you are both staying out of this heat. Blessings

The nurse didn't say anything about checking for tick diseases. She reckons that the tick hadn't been there long - it wasn't very big - it was just luck I spotted it.
He scoffed all his dinner down last night. He's maybe just not that hungry because of the heat. There was an absolutely howling wind last night but it was still pretty warm - but there was air and it was great - that's maybe why he ate everything - we had fun on our walk because it was so bracing.
Where we walk has no pavement - just a grass verge but the council haven't cut the grass - it's about hip height on me and some of the weeds are nearly as tall as me so I'm not surprised he got a horrid tick. I'm still shuddering at the thought.
I've never ever put flea or tick treatment on him - he's never had a flea or a tick - till this year and now I've had to dose him with chemicals - I'm not happy and I've been watching him like a hawk after giving him it - it's a new stuff the vet recommended - a chewy treat instead of a spot on treatment.
Alison:
I don't use anything on Tipper since she started with Cushings, and she gets no shots anymore either. Some people have reported bad reactions to these things and I am trying to stay safe. Hope you get cooler air coming with that big breeze. Glad to hear Cairo is eating better, it may be the heat like you said. It rained again here a bit ago. Tipper is sleeping and I am getting caught up on stuff. Blessings
