Paleo cashew bread 1
I just made a really really simple and very tasty paleo bread that uses cashews and a touch of coconut flour. I got the recipe from https://www.laurafuentes.com/paleo-bread-for-sandwiches/. Below are a couple of pictures of the bread, which is a smaller loaf, brown and very shiny. Below that is the recipe. […]
Good girl at the grocery store
Today was our biweekly trip to the grocery store. Hestia is so good at the grocery stores now, even though we really only work her once every two weeks. I’m very happy that she hasn’t forgotten the basics, and in fact seems to be getting a bit more solid on […]
Sit pretty check-in 1
Hestia was having a problem of backing up when I was trying to get her to sit pretty, and also not being very stable in the position. So I tried something I haven’t seen in any of the youtube videos I’ve watched about it—having her sit back against a wall. […]
Starting to sit pretty
Yesterday afternoon we started working on a new trick with Hestia—sit pretty! This is when they sit on their haunches and raise their front paws up. I’m teaching it using luring. So I have her sit, and then hold a treat over her nose, a little up and back so […]

Soft pretzels with cassava flour (gluten free) 1
These soft pretzels are SO tasty! And they’re gluten free! They taste almost like the bretzlen we used to get in Germany when we lived there. They’re pretty easy to make, too. One note about the flour. Apparently the cassava flour brand of choice is Otto’s brand. Most cassava flour […]

Happy 6th barkday 2
Today is Hestia’s sixth birthday! I got out some bandanas that were given to me for Ollie and Sabrina when Ollie was a baby puppy. They have doggy themed birthday items on them like a dog bone cake. Hestia’s was a little big on her, but I think they looked […]
