The berries are ripe for the picking! Take advantage of nature's summer harvest with the following dessert for people and pets. You can use homemade or store bought pound cake (Sara Lee frozen ones are decadent) or even substitute angel food cake (a little lighter), or sugar cookies or even whole wheat toast.
Go easy on the sweetener in the cake and start out with one type of berries just to make sure your dog can tolerate them. It really is a variation on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, only using fresh fruit!

What Goes Around Comes Around
Here's a story we especially like because human and non-human ives were saved.
Brendan Ocasio, formerly homeless, has found a new career taking care of animals at the New York City Animal Care and control shelter in Manhattan. He found this new job through the Doe Fund which helps get homeless people back on their feet. It is part of a recent partnership with the shelter.
Read all about it here and once again marvel at the healing power of pets.

Snowmass Culinary and Arts Festival
Diane Henderiks (pictured) and Carmen Gonzalez, two of our chefs, were both at the recent Snowmass Culinary and Arts Festival. They got to escape the suffocating heat and humidity that blanketed the East Coast and Diane made quite an impression on at least one food critic!
Read all about it here and note that she mentioned Diane was someone to keep your eye on! A rising star if we ever saw one and a dog lover to boot! You go girl!

Wedding Crashers
That's the top of a wedding cake showcasing the dogs of the bride and groom. By the way its from a wedding between two people, not dogs! We think it's adorable but apparently not everyone feels so inclined toward including canines in wedding parties.
Check out the "yappily ever after" tale here by the grandmother of the flower dog! Just wondering if the dogs were allowed to retrieve the bouquet.....

So it's true--chefs love animals and can make a huge difference in the way we treat them. But you already knew that just by looking at some of the photos in our book.

Dog V. Machine
Which would you rather be screened by a dog or a machine? So asks Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, who points out that canines are cheaper, less invasive and do not require maintenance or software upgrades. Not to mention they are superior at sniffing out explosives.
Aside from those with allergies, we think dogs make a pretty good alternative to electronic machines and might just make going through the process a little easier. Except of course, if they drool. . .
