Welcome!
I'm a horrible blogger. I'm not a good housewife. Sometimes, I lose track of time, and I forget to pay my phone bill. I hate to do dishes, and laundry. I get grouchy and snap at my husband. What I am good at, is creating all natural treats for dogs. And well... you know what they say about doing what you're good at....
So that's what I'm trying to do. I work 40 hours a week as a customer service representative for a small insurance brokerage. In my spare time (HA!) I slave over a hot oven (Super fun in the middle of the summer!!!!) creating new recipes. It's all trial and error... with most of the errors going straight into the trash, and all the trials straight into my puppy's tummy. She loves treats. Your dog does too, I promise. You want to see them live a longer, healthier life? Feed them food that you won't worry about. Treat your dog the best with The Chocolate Lab!
