Monday!
Yes, its another Monday... We always wish we had another weekend day to spend together, but we have to kick start the week. Daisy's always a sweet little companion in the mornings. Whether its eating breakfast together, sitting on my lap as we catch the news/weather, helping me pick out my outfits & get ready in the morning, she's a delightful distracion :)
We head into another week with the countdown to our next roadtrip. Ten days until Thanksgiving where we'll drive home to be with family ;)

An emailed Treat
Peanut Butter Banana Treat Recipe
Here's a recipe that was emailed to us. It looks like it may have originally been posted from whole foods market. Let us know if you try the snack! We made pumpkin biscuits a couple times in the past month or two and they were a real hit!
Makes approximately two-dozen treats.
INGREDIENTS1 banana, peeled (finally, a perfect use for that over-ripe banana on your counter)
1 cup oat flour (If your dog has challenges chewing, grind the rolled oats in a food processor before adding them to the mixture. )
2/3 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup dried parsley (*You can substitute dried mint for half of the parsley, if you like. )
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 egg, beaten
DIRECTIONSPreheat oven to 300°F. Put banana in a large bowl and use a spoon or potato masher to mash it thoroughly. Add oat flour, oats, parsley, peanut butter, and egg and stir well to combine. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Roll mixture into 24 balls, using about 1 tablespoon dough for each; transfer to a large parchment paper-lined baking sheet as done. Use the back of a spoon or the heel of your hand to press each ball into a (1 1/2 to 2 inch) coin. Bake until firm and deep golden brown on the bottom, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside to let cool completely.

A sweet Pumpkin for our Pumpkin kick
After making pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies, and even pumpkin dog biscuits, it was inevitable that Daisy would be a Pumpkin for our first Halloween together.
Update November 1st
Happy November 1st! Its almost been a whole year with Daisy! She's been a bundle of joy and the best training for whatever comes next in our marriage! From Daisy-Baby-Safing the house, to providing the time and attention that keeps her healthy and happy, we've learned a ton. Quality time with Daisy is always worth it! Since we moved to South Carolina, we've discovered plenty of dog friendly activities like "Waggin' at the Waterpark" and a few Cavalier groups that share our passion.
We went downstate to a Halloween Fun Day for the Cavaliers this past weekend. Daisy got to run around with about 30 other cavaliers (there were even puppies! so cute!). She got her fix of exercise and CavaCheers! It was even fun for Brandon and I. If you sat down, you were a prime target for puppy kisses! I'll be sure to get some pictures up from that event soon.
We'll be headed home to Illinois for Thanksgiving so it will be another family roadtrip! Then around the corner will be Christmas! We're very excited about Christmas break this year because we'll have extra time to spend catching up with old friends and Cavalier buddies! Daisy's been invited to the Greater Chicago King Charles Cavalier Rescue's Jingle Pawty! These fundraiser events round up 100+ Cavaliers. We're so excited!
Life has been so busy this season, so we haven't written much as of late, but that's not to say we haven't been up to fun activities with Miss Daisy! She's our little pride and joy!
