Why this blog?

I've wanted to begin a blog for quite some time now! Well for 2 1/2 years to be exact! It was supposed to be a blog about bringing our angel #3 into the world. Well...things didn't exactly go as planned with her birth and well.....here it is 30 months later!
So what better time than a resolution in 2010...no more procrastinating.
But what to blog about? In asking myself several questions; what interests or challenges me?, what is new in our lives?, what can I write about daily for an entire year?, what will also include my whole family?, I was able to come up with an idea.
At the end of January we will be bringing home our newest addition to the Schreyer Family....a 8 week old husky puppy.
This blog will cover our trials & tribulations, tears, and joys, and individual experiences while raising a puppy as a family.
As John Grogan said, : "A person can learn a lot from a dog..."

Puppy Veggie Biscuits

This is a terrific recipe for home-made puppy or doggie biscuits, and I thought I'd share it with you.

Our plan is to stuff the KONG type chew toys with home-made biscuits, treats, dried liver bits and peanut butter to curb any possible destructive chewing habits Meeko might be tempted to indulge in.
So.....the more biscuits....the merrier........I better get baking!

4 cups Rye Flour
1 1/2 cups whole rolled oats
1 cup water
2 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 cup shredded carrots
1/4 minced parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced


1. Preheat Oven to 350*. In a medium size bowl, mix together the flour, oats, and water until blended. Stir in the eggs, and add the carrots, parsley, and garklic and mix well.
2. On a lightly floured surface (using rye flour), knead the dough, adding more flour if sticky.
3. Roll out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out 1/2 inch wide biscuits, with a sharp knife or pizza cutter, or use a doggie biscuit shaped cutter.
4. Place on lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
5. Store in sealed container in refrigerator and enjoy sharing with your puppy for best behaviour treats or stuff in KONG with peanut butter or cheese!
