We Interupt This Blog To Answer These Very Important Questions

Hi doggies,

In response to Ernest's query ( see comments from last post) about a Caesar, Blue's dislike of clamato and to all other non-Canadians who may never have heard of such a thing, we have decided to post the answers to these very important questions.

1. What is a Caesar?


A Caesar is a very popular cocktail in Canada and in fact according to Wikipedia is often called Canada's official cocktail. It is made of Clamato juice, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce over ice and served in a glass rimmed with celerly salt and garnished with a stick of celery and a slice of lime. It was originally invented in 1969 in Calgary , Alberta, Canada by a bartender named Walter Chell for the opening of a new restarant at The Westin. The original Caesar was made of tomato juice and mashed clams. Clamato juice was then released shortly afterwards by the American Mott's company. A version without vodka is called a"Virgin Caesar".

2. How is a Caesar made?
Well here is the recipe for the Classic Caesar.

Classic Caesar

Ingredients: • 5 oz Mott's Clamato • 1-1/2 oz vodka • 1/2 tsp hot sauce • 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce • salt and pepper to taste

Mixing Instructions:Rim a glass with lime juice and celery or seasoning salt. Fill glass with ice and add above ingredients, stir to mix. Garnish with a celery stalk and a lime wedge. Enjoy!!


3. What is Clamato juice?

Clamato juice is a mixture of tomato juice, clam broth and spices. Momma says the only brand worth drinking is Motts Clamato which was the original. Momma says the others are all substandard.

4. What does Clamato juice taste like?

Clamato juice has a very unique taste which includes tomato, clam, salty and sweet.

5. Are there other ways to drink Clamato Juice?

Yes, as well as drinking a Caesar, Momma drinks it alone on ice, or sometimes mixed with beer.

6. Do doggies like Clamato juice?

That is a matter of opinnion. Nikki loves it, while the rest of us doggies ( Casper, Buddy and Winnie) will not even try it.

Thanks for reading all about clamato juice and Caesars. Also please fill out our new poll at the top of our blog. Thanks doggies!

More Pet food Recalled!

Hi Doggies, did you know that more pet food has been recalled due to Samonella?

Check out this link http://www.fda.gov/cvm/petfoods.htm#newsreleases

Recalled Aug 25/07-

Krasdale Gravy dry dog food
Red Flannel Large Breed Adult Formula dry dog food

Momma is very upset at those dog food manufacturer's for not making dog food that is safe for us doggies to eat. She has now changed us to a premium brand dog food called Orijen that is made fairly close to here. It has human grade ingredients made from locally produced chicken, fish, and eggs. Of course she always also gives us leftovers from her supper too! Yummy!

Foodie Grocery Tag

We got tagged by Blue to do a list of 5 "must have" grocery items for us doggies and 5 must haves for Momma. So here are Momma's must haves:

1. Cheese- cheddar, mozza and especially feta!
2. Clamato juice- great with beer in the summer, vodka the rest of the year and alone anytime! (Oh no, Blue is gonna think Momma is weird. Blue hates Clamato juice -See Blue's hate list)
3. Tomatoes- especially local garden grown.
4. Pasta- any kind
5. Strawberries


And here are us doggies must haves:

1. "Pe-ner" bones- Okay they are actually called Bully Sticks, but we call them "pe-ner bones". If you know where they come from you will know why!
2. Enzadent Chews- good for doggies teeth and yummy!
3. Weiners- raw, used as treats for agility and obedience!
4. Cheese
5. Yogurt


So now we will tag Finnigan and Momma , and Simba, Momma and FF Daddy to do 5 grocery "Must Haves" each for the doggies and 5 for the humans.

Another Pet Food Recall

Botulism this time! Check here for more information on recalls of Hot Dog Chili Sauces and Natural Balance Eatables Dog food.

Also here is a link to the updated list of recalled pet food by the US food and Drug Administration . It is an excellent site as pet food ( dog , cat , ferret) can be searched in a number of ways ( brand, company, UPC, product description , container type ).

Thanks for keeping us doggies safe and healthy!!

OH MY DOG!... Could It Be?

Are Frosty Paws on the way?........My little sister Nikki reports a sighting of vanilla yogurt coming into the house. Now we all know that mama likes PEACH or STRAWBERRY yogurt. And it's been really hot here- like 30 C (86 F). Now I'm figuring ... It's hot out.... vanilla yogurt..... IT HAS TO MEAN FROSTY PAWS ON THE WAY!!!! I will report back to all you doggies as soon as it happens. Keep your paws crossed for Frosty Paws!

Oh Where, Oh Where Is MY Frosty Paws???

Ok, so we've been hearing rumors of some dogs at DWB's enjoying tasty Frosty Paws treats like Wally who was seen reciting poetry while snacking on a tasty Frosty Paws!! (drool, drool)
So we asked Mama "Where is our Frosty Paws treat???" (drool, drool) "We've been good doggies" (I think). But alas... no Frosty Paws in sight.

So I put on my pouty look (didn't work)

So I called in Buddy for his best sad face :((

(no luck)

And Nikki tried her best "Pleassssseeee Mammaaa........." (to no avail)

So, then Nikki got mad

and gave Mama the EVIL EYE!!!

And I decided to EVIL EYE her too!!

So then Mama sent us to our crates :((

And now we are very sad because we still have no Frosty Paws. Tomorrow we might try to doogle ( or is it google?) to look for some Frosty Paws, but if any doggies out there know where we could get some or maybe a recipe we would be yippee skipppee happy if you could let us know!!!
