Even though it is kinda waiting for storms day and we wanted to do was nap, Mom was working in the kitchen trying out new flavors which means we are the taste testers. So we have been tasting cookies all morning. Now, we can take a nap with a tummy full of droolicious, organic dog cookies that are good for us and are totally allergy free so we won't itch! Yeh!
And if that wasn't the bestest morning, it was nice and cool outside with a breeze, so we got to lay on our cots outside all morning while we waited for each batch to be ready. We don't get to stay outside for long most of the time because it is always so hot and humid. even in the evenings.
It certainly has been a 5 paw morning.

Monday mornin'
Mornin' everyone. Hope your weekend was relaxing and nice. Here in the south it is stormy hot, but not too bad.
All of us had a long talk over the weekend and agreed we all need to be more disciplined with our blogging, so with each new morning we are writing our daily entry and then begin work.
This weekend, our human mom did some yard work and of course we were all right there helping. Mom is very into the natural, organic and holistic way in raising us. Because of that we spent the early morning hours of the weekend making our yard bug free and more importantly, flea free by using cedar chips along our fences then spraying the yard with a mixture of apple vinegar and citrus. It really works.
She also put cedar chips in the house (in places we cannot reach or get to) to rid the house of any pests.
Spraying us with apple vinegar or citrus also got rid of any fleas we had. Mom sprays us each morning with the mixture to keep us bug free and healthy.
After the yard makeove, mom began experimenting with some new bakery cookies. Some with coconut, cranberry and blueberries. They were really good. We think she is adding them to the bakery soon.
Have a wooferful Monday. Follow our activities on twitter.com/pinkpoodlebaker.

On Track Now
So much for the daily blog. We are back on track now. Promise. This is Buki writing today. I am the 2nd of The Three Musketeers.
It has been very hot in the south for the past couple of weeks. We don't go outside too much because we can't breath very well in the high humidity. Not going outside means we are indoors helping mom with all her activities. I know she loves all our help. Her two moments I think are when she is rearranging a room (which she does all the time). We like to wait until mom has the room in total disarray then we offer our "help"; jumping on furniture, playing doggie tag, wrestling, all the things that make her laugh. I have noticed she does not laugh as much when she is moving things around. I wonder why....................
Her second is when she is on the phone with an important call. Because she has the blogs, radio show, magazine and articles to write, she is on calls a lot. We don't like that much because it takes away from our time, so Bodhi usually gets us barking and howling during the calls. We think it is very funny. Her? Not so much!
Because it is so hot and humid, we do sleep more than usual. Mom needs to make more beds. Henry, our Dane brother, hogs all our beds and he has his own couch he can lay on!!!! It is not fair. We like our beds better than his couch.
Homer and Maynard went to the Spa Sunday. We take turns going. It is too much for the Spa to have all of us go on one day. We did it a couple of times and it was a lot of fun, but all the humans thought it better if we came in 2's or 3's. I heard something about all of us were like having 10 2 year old toddlers running around. I don't know about that. We are well behaved. and know our manners. We can get a bit rowdy (we like to do that to humans sometimes). Maybe that is what they were talking about.
Everyone is beginning to take a nap, so I guess I will join them. Have a pawsome day.

Gertie, Oscar, Bessie, Jessie and Henry
Time to introduce the rest of the family.
Gertie, (Gertrude) was a puppy mill throw away because she could not produce any longer. When Gertie came home she did not have a clue what toys were. She was actually very afraid of them. I would put her on a fluffy pillow and she would scramble off as quickly as she could to find the hardest surface possible to lay on. She was very timid. To pick her up was a trial. She would scoot away until you could corner her to pick her up. Going outside was an adventure. Gertie would look longingly outside but was scared to venture out. It took weeks to get her outside. Now, 3 years later she loves laying outside, plays with toys all day, torments her brothers and sisters all day and is much easier to pick up. She is still timid about food. Every dog has their own dish, but Gertie continues to creep up on her dish so timidly. If another dog wants to go to her dish she runs away. We are working on that. Hopefully someday.
Gertie is Front Desk Receptionist with the company. the position is helping her become more outgoing.
Oscar. Oh Oscar. Oscar was rescued from an enclosed back porch where he lived for 5 years. He had no human companionship, had his food thrown on the floor and never saw outside. When Oscar came home he was very grouchy (thus his name). I walked with pillows around my ankles for weeks so he couldn't bite me. Because he was not cared for, his skin was and is a mess, (although improving), he trusted no one and had no social skills.
Today Oscar loves to be held and go on car rides. He loves going to the spa and be pampered. He doesn't really play with the others but does intermingle with them. When I was building the company, I thought the perfect position for Oscar would be Customer Service Manager (tongue in cheek). He is marvelous at it.
The sisters, Bessie and Jessie were rescued from a puppy mill at 5 weeks of age. They came to me at 1 and a half years old. These two are inseparable. They sleep together, play together, do everything together. Bessie is the dominant sibling. Jessie is the beauty. Bodhi loves Jessie. My neighbor calls them The Bitches, because after almost a year they still bark and bark when he is outside. Of course they bark and bark at anything or anyone.
Bessie is my Research Assistant and Jessie is In House Talent. She appears in some of our publicity shots.
Henry the Dane. I received a call from an area shelter when Henry arrived. The Director knew I had had a Great Dane rescue years ago and thought I would be the best one to take him in. Henry had been shot 3 times and was starved. His rear foot was broken. You could see the outline of every bone in his body. Yet, he was such a sweetheart. I immediately took him to my vet to began his healing. After a few days in the hospital he came home. It was so much fun having a Dane in a cast. especially in the rainy spring. In Henry's mind, he is a Pekingese.
Henry is Loss Prevention/Security Director.
So that is the family. Now that introductions are complete we will be writing on a daily or every other day basis. There is alot happening within the company so we are busy but we will make time to let you in on some of our day's activities.
