Tutorial at Craft Cravings Blog

"Hello, everyone! Today’s project is so super simple, I almost didn’t put it up. I thought that there wasn’t much to it so why post? Honestly, looking back, some of the posts that I almost didn’t make turned out to be the most popular, so why not, right? I originally saw this idea on SheKnows. I wish I would have been the first to have this great idea though! You might be asking “why?” Well, dog shirts are not cheap.

I love my pup and I like dressing her up even though it’s probably a little silly to most people, but I’m not spending 20-40 dollars a piece for dog clothing items. It’s just not happening"....

Organic Bunny Treats Recipe at Herban Lifestyle
"I recently discovered a new blog, Winding Road Farm, written by a woman who, along with her fiancée, is working to build a 10-acre farm in Georgia.

This reminded me of some homemade bunny treats I purchased at the BUST Holiday Craftacular back in December. Amy Sedaris was there autographing her latest crafty book, and selling people’s homemade crafts. When I mentioned that I had a rabbit (Sedaris is a big rabbit fan), she pointed out a little bag of of “Elliot’s Cilantro Treats,” which she highly recommended..." Read more

But you should be very careful and research thoroughly before making drastic changes to your dog's diet. Many human foods are not safe at all for your pets, and you need to be very familiar with what you can and can't feed them, as well as the proportions you should use to ensure that your pet has a well-balanced diet..."
