Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop # 146

 Dear friends,
Welcome to the Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop... Your place to kick up your heals, let your hair down, and brag a little ( or a lot ) about all things farmgirl! Our little hop is mostly made up of " chicks"  but we do have a regular farmboy among us who has a special way of sharing his backyard farming experiences. I hope you got by to read City Boy's ( City Boy Hen's blog)  post on why he is grateful NOT to be a male honey bee.  While describing  the life-cycle of the male honey bee he makes a good case for himself and leaves no doubt in the readers mind that being a male in the honey bee world is not for the wimpy- winged. In fact, it's quite dangerous! I always leave his blog having learned something new and a big ole smile on my face! As for this farmgirl, we are still blanketed in snow here in New England but I heard a hopeful sound with the promise of spring in its melody this morning...I heard birds singing outside for the first time since last summer! Now, that's a happy sound to wake up to! I'm looking forward to cleaning out the greenhouse,  ordering dahlia tubers and seeds, cleaning the coop and planning my garden tour for this summer! It won't be long before I'll be caring for tender seedlings again and I can't wait!

Here's wishing you a wonderful week on your homesteads as you gear up for what I know will be a  very busy spring!

And, if you haven't joined Farmgirl Chit-Chat already, please come and join us! It's a wonderful community of clever, creative and KIND farmgirls who will welcome you with warm hugs and a smile!

Howdy friends! It's great to be back for another week of farming around on the Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop! And, how fun is it that it's also Valentines Day? I loved all the romance inspired crafts, cakes and treats shared last week!

 I'm gonna make my part of this post quick cuz I've got a velvet cake in the oven for tonight's desert but we do have an announcement to make!

We have a winner for our Waggin' Delights  Artisans Dog Treats giveaway! 

 

Are ya ready? Max and Jasmine sniffed out a winner! They chose Lori White because they like the fact that her dogs ( and sometimes her cat ) sleep in the family bed. 

That's one big happy furry family!

Congratulations Lori and thanks to all who entered!

Waggin' Delights Giveaway! Organic Artisan Dog Treats and other STUFF

It's been some time since we've had a giveaway and I'm very excited about this one!
Who doesn't love to spoil their dog with delicious treats? We love to give our Max cookies for just about everything he does including going to bed.  He sleeps in his crate which means he gets a cookie at bedtime too!

After getting to know Debbie Tegart of  Farmgirl Unleashed better over the last couple of months I learned that she, along with her husband Mike and daughter Erica are the business owners behind Waggin' Delights. Unique dog treats and other stuff for doggie parents who love their dog and their PLANET.

Debbie is the CFO ( Chief Feeding Officer ) of the crew and she shares her story here:

Debbie – CFO (Chief Feeding Officer)

You can probably tell by my title that I am the “mommy” here!  My journey to dogs and to Waggin’ Delights has been a winding one.  I never had dogs growing up like Mike did, as I was allergic to anything with fur, so I raised fish and some other “furless” things.  When I had my first daughter, who is now grown, I quit corporate America to be a stay at home mom.  Many thought I was nuts, but it was GREAT!  I made baby food, crayons, soap, nursed, used cloth diapers, gardened and just really loved being an “earth mom”.  Two other daughters followed and we continued down this path.  I really, truly just loved being “mommy.”  Well, as kids do, they grew up, I went back to corporate America, found myself in a second marriage to a wonderful man with two wonderful dogs… and so my dog journey began!  Max and Jessie  have since passed and we have adopted Jasmine and in true “momminess” I have enjoyed nurturing her, making treats for her, taking her to doggie kindergarten (where of course we chatted on nutrition and respected our puppies!) and I have come full circle!  My hope is that my holistic approach to dogs, people and the planet will be evident here and you will enjoy visiting the site to laugh and learn with me as I continue to learn and grow.

This is their Jasmine: The lucky dog that gets try all those delicious treats before they go to market!

They are generously offering a bag Pumpkin Delights Dog Treats, two Waggin' Delights ball caps and a tote bag for carrying your doggy treats with you where ever you go!

TO ENTER simply leave a comment here and tell us what kind of dog/s you have!

Jasmine and Max wish you luck!
