Tess is 13!
My sweet black Labrador Retriever, Tess, turned 13 today.  She is my goofy girl.  Always quick with a kiss, wags her tail if you just whisper her name or look at her and the biggest sweetheart on 4 legs.  Her registered name is Dutch Hollow’s Cure The Blues, JH and was born on 11-17-2001.  She was my 3rd Labrador Retriever and a member of a pack of 4 labs.  This dignified gray faced lady shares my home with me and another lab named Abbey.  Happy Birthday Tess!

Tess birthday cake is made with bananas, diced carrots, diced apples, pumpkin, peanut butter, eggs, canola oil, baking powder, barley flour and garbanzo/fava flour.  A thin layer of whipped cream cheese is used for the frosting.

Congratulations to Crazy Shirts for 50 years in business!  

The best t-shirts I have ever owned.  I have some that are 20 years old and they still look great and wear well.  I’ve never found any other company that has a cotton t-shirt that is so comfortable and durable.  The images last forever! Whether dyed with Money, Hemp, Ti Leaf, Chocolate, Lavender, Rose, Key Lime, Wine, Beer, Rum, Kona Coffee, Chili, Blue Hawaii, Crater or Hibiscus and of course White, Black, Navy, Yellow or red, they provide an outstanding, fun t-shirt to wear.

Home Made - Sweet Potato Dog Chews / Treats / Jerky

Home Made - Sweet Potato Dog Chews / Treats / Jerky

Call them what you will, chews, treats or jerky, they are all edible and you dog will love when you make them at home.  And the fiber and protein in sweet potatoes is good for them.  You can make these in the oven or by using a dehydrator.

Oven method –

To get started purchase two nice long, as straight as you can find, fresh sweet potatoes.  This will make a nice sized batch to test out your skills.
Preheat oven to 250˚
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub them clean, then dry them.  Make sure there is no mold on them.
Cut off one side of the sweet potato lengthwise, as close to the edge as possible.  This will make a nice flat side to place downward for stable slicing.  Cut the sweet potatoes into slices about 1/4 “ to 1/3” thick.
Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 3 hours, turning halfway through.   This will make them chewy and if you want more crunch add about 20-30 minutes.
Cool completely on a wire rack.
They should store in your refrigerator in a zipper bag for about 3 weeks, if they last that long.  They can be kept frozen for about 4 months.

Dehydrator method -

To get started purchase two nice long, as straight as you can find, fresh sweet potatoes.  This will make a nice sized batch to test out your skills.
Wash and scrub them clean, then dry them.  Make sure there is no mold on them.
Cut off one side of the sweet potato lengthwise, as close to the edge as possible.  This will make a nice flat side to place downward for stable slicing.   
Follow your dehydrators instructions for spacing.
Dehydrate at a setting of about 145-155 until done.  Drying should take about 6-8 hours for a chewy texture.  For a crunchier texture dry out longer.

Big dogs will love these as is, but for small dogs you might want to tear them into smaller pieces after they are dried out.

Adapted from many recipes/articles I have read and recipes tried using both methods.
