Terrific Tuesday
Yesterday, mom was going through scarves and hats and gloves and coats in the closet and she discovered that one of Molly's harnesses got missed when she was donating.
Mom opened the box and was surprised to discover that the harness still had Molly's scent on it. Molly hadn't worn this harness since she was very young! I didn't know what a wonderful treat this was until we started walking!I was having a great time dragging my ears on the ground and was sniffing everything! Canada Geese alert!I was snatching at grasses and wasn't listening to mom at all!I was having the best time!Look who we saw. It doesn't look like this poor thing has eaten in forever.I know mom probably isn't going to let me wear Molly's harness again but I sure had a fun walk this morning!Thank you so much, Molly♥Love ya lots♥

Tasty Tuesday
Mom was surfing FB and saw a White Bean and Spinach Soup recipe that she wanted to try.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, chopped
- 1 celery rib, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 cans (15 ounces each) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 carton (32 ounces) reduced-sodium vegetable broth
- 4 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup packed fresh parsley sprigs, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- In a Dutch oven or large stock pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrot and celery; cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic, salt, rosemary, pepper and red pepper flakes; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in beans and broth, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.
- Optional: use an immersion blender to slightly puree and thicken the soup, 15-30 seconds. Stir in spinach and parsley; cook until spinach is wilted, 3-4 minutes. Serve in bowls with Parmesan cheese on top.
Mom used Mrs Dash's onion seasoning instead of the real onion and she added 2 carrots and more celery than the recipe calls for. I got a taste of celery, carrot and spinach☺
Mom is growing Rosemary again this year~She used her own dried Rosemary in the recipe~We will be making this soup again. It is a winner!Happy Tuesday! - Love ya lots♥

National Dog Week
I'm having a great National Dog Week!
I got a new donut bed! Mom stacked it on top of another one and I feel like a prince! I have to high-step it to get onto my bed!
Mom needed to order kibble from Chewy and she never just orders one item. She found this squeaky bat she knew that I would like and she was right. I love my new Batty!Love ya lots♥
