Summertime, and the eating is easy

I know I haven't blogged in a long time . . . student teaching takes up a lot of time. Not more than I expected, necessarily, just a lot. Oliver is trying to make do with only two or three good brushings a week. Right now, though, he's enjoying a tiny soup bone.

I'm making home-made, all-local (except the lentils I threw in because they've been in my cupboard for many months) vegetable beef soup today, and Oliver got one of the scraps. There are three more bones, if he's good. We actually had an old soup bone when we got Oliver, and he ate it right up. We're in the process of transitioning him onto hypoallergenic food, but haven't cut out all of his old food yet, so I figured why not give him a bone. I know bones aren't great for dogs, but I'm keeping a close eye on him.

Last week I also made a pizza with all local toppings (cheese, veggies, pesto sauce) and home-made crust which was almost a disaster, and broke my spatula . . . maybe I'll put some pictures up when I get a chance!
