Honest! The Dog Ate My Homework!
True enough, loyal blog followers, I can’t complete the post planned for this morning, a wonderful dark chocolate/cashew concoction as a nod to friend Holly who was begging for something chocolate, because the dog ate his way through the Bulk Barn Christmas baking supplies and I’m off to the vet in our first blizzard! Really, does this face look innocent to you? This is Lochiel, 6 year old Sheltie, voracious and indiscriminate eater, well he did discriminate against the glaceed cherries and citron peel, so the Christmas cake will still proceed later this week…
So, now, instead of the wonderful aromas of Christmas baking wafting through the house as the first snow of 2011 settles gently on the ground, there will be the rather pedestrian smell of boiled chicken and boiled white rice permeating the air. His nibs must have a bland, homemade diet, but not of course until tomorrow morning. He’s been to the vet, shot full of anti-nausea and antacids, been poked and prodded and is now home to be coddled until he can return to his normal, “I’ll eat anything” self.
So just in case my loyal readers think that writing this blog is all glam and glitz, just wanted to set the record straight! Take good care.
Too funny! I can just see your face when you realized what Al’s dear dog did!
It is snowing here, and I am going to make hot chocolate. I hope you make the intended treat that was preempted by the wee Sheltie sometime soon before Christmas,and post the recipe so I can try them.

Anne – v funny story! And sorry to hijack your blog … but, hi Michele!
Hi Dene, i sent you an email but may not have worked, will try another way to connect.
Michele
and my apoligies Anne, for using this forum.
That is too funny! Poor Lochy…. Poor Ann! .I can see your face when you discovered that mischief. Could have called me to come and save him and pay back that 22 year old dept!

I too would like a chocolate of sorts recipe in time for Christmas if possible. That famous Fredericton Fudge has been requested by S n H here on the wet (sic) coast.

Would not want Scott and Hailey to be fudgeless for Christmas – will get to next week!
Ash (http://i.imgur.com/mcMBj.jpg) sends his regards and best wishes, and recommends some homemade chicken jerky and doggie cookies to sate the beast…perhaps a baggie of goodies may make its way back to the East Coast with the parental pack-mules after Christmas
Oh, Nicole – you and Ash are too kind. Not sure Lochie deserves such kindness, found him hiding out in the basement the other night scarfing down the crumbs from a big bag of chips! As I said to his “father”, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!
Cheers, Anne
Oh dear…well, look at it this way – less crumbs on the floor means less vacuuming, right??
