These homemade dog treats made with rolled oats are quick and easy to whip up anytime.  Even better, these are Leo’s favourite treats by far. I hate recipes that begin with the rambling preamble so I’ll save that for the end.  Ingredients 1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour (or ground large-flake oats) *see Notes on … Continue reading "Favourite Homemade Dog Treats"

Part of the fun of road trips is finding new places to eat and discovering local delicacies.  However, the cost can quickly add up: $10 a meal for three meals a day can eat away at your food budget (see what I did there?).  If you are camping, the closest restaurant may be nowhere near … Continue reading "Essential Road Trip Food"

January 27 is a big day for the AdventureDawgs house: it’s King’s second Gotcha Day.  That’s right.  Two years ago I brought this meathead home and it has been a wild ride ever since.  He lost his balls…errrrr I mean he was neutered, developed dog-aggression protecting his pack, stared into a bean, camped on the … Continue reading "Happy Gotcha Day King!"

It goes without saying: no one could have predicted the chaos that was 2020. The year started innocently enough.  Sure there was talk about a nasty bug going around but it sounded like the usual hoopla any time anything stronger than the sniffles makes an appearance.

Lake Superior comes by … Continue reading "Lake Superior Provincial Park"

Like most people, the past few months have been a bit chaotic for us.  Unlike most people, the chaos started back in September when a six-week renovation on my kitchen and bathroom turned into an almost six-month ordeal.  We were able to sneak in one quick trip into the United States at the beginning of … Continue reading "The Past Few Months"

We’ve been uncharacteristically quiet lately.  I wish that I could say that we were travelling or hibernating the winter away but unfortunately, that is not the case. After we came back from our trip to Chicago, the priority was to work off King’s energy to a more manageable level.  We hiked and played in the … Continue reading "I Wish We Could Say We’ve Been Travelling"
