Pumpkin Dog Bones

September 23, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 6 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today is the anniversary of the death of my dog Doodles.  It has been 5 years since she passed away.  I thought today I would celebrate her life, since she is a big part of me and helped me become the person that I am today.  A lot of people think, she’s a dog, how much influence can she have?  Well, she has given me way more to my life than I may have given her.  She has shown me what unconditional love is, companionship, patience, and stability.  I know it sounds crazy, but it’s all true.  She wasn’t just a dog, but was my best friend.  I don’t go a day without thinking of her.  It seems like yesterday was the day I had to put her down.  That was the hardest decision that I have ever made.  I don’t like to talk about this because I still cry, but if you want to read the story about Doodles, you can check out my dedicated page to her.  You will read about her life, and see a bunch of photos of her. Just go here.
Pumpkin Dog Bones
In memory of my precious Doodles, I made Pumpkin Dog Bones. One thing about Doodles is she loved when I cooked. She would be right at my feet waiting for food to drop. Now I have my boy Sampson, who has a lot of the same features as Doodles, like cooking. The only difference is, Sampson steals the food as soon as my back is turned. He’s food obsessed.
Sampson, give me a bone, Mom!!
I also have a Golden Retriever Samantha, who I have to admit is the best behaving dog ever. She made one mistake in her adult years and that was stealing my pumpkin muffins. She is one dog that is obsessed with pumpkin. As soon as I open a can of pumpkin she is right there. I can cook anything else and she doesn’t care, but bring out the pumpkin and the game is on. That is why I decided to make Pumpkin Dog Bones.

These pumpkin bones are pretty healthy. They are made with whole wheat flour, oats, cinnamon, peanut butter and pumpkin. Every dogs dream, and hey you could probably eat them too, but I can’t imagine they don’t have much flavor considering I didn’t use sugar. I just whipped everything together and rolled them out and cut them into shapes. I went for the dog shape and little hearts. This recipe also makes quite a few cookies for your pups.

    It is amazing the lasting impression that a dog can leave on a person. People who have never had the pleasure of having a dog would never understand….

    We lost our dog, Jesse, almost 2 years ago. She was really the best dog anyone could have hoped for. Throughout my childhood, my family made some really great memories with her. It was hard to see her gradually fade away towards the end, but she did live a pretty full and happy life.

    This blog post was really the perfect homage to celebrate Doodles, her life, while also ringing in the fall (mmm…pumpkins!). Those look super yummy, as well.

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.

What’s your favorite thing to do in the summer?

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
