A Corgiās Tale: From Holland to Home š”
In Colorado's embrace where the mountains rise high, Lay a Corgi named Holland with hope in her eye. Though the peaks stand tall and the valleys so wide, It was in our humble abode that her heart did confide. A twist of fate, our worlds did entwine, And in our home's rhythm, Hollandās heart began to chime. Yet as she nestled in, a new name began to swell, From Holland's gentle echo, emerged our Shelby's bell. Colorado Corgis and Friends gave her a start, But itās in our loving arms, she gave away her heart. Now as Shelby she thrives, no longer alone, From the heart of the Rockies to the heart of our home. So hereās a small tale, of a journey so sweet, Of a Corgi named Shelby, whoās made our lives complete. For in every soft bark and each playful roam, Weāre reminded of the love, of bringing Shelby home. š¶ā¤ļø

DIY Pet-Friendly Fall Treat Recipe: Pumpkin Pupcakes šš¶
As the season changes, it's the perfect time to treat your furry friend to some homemade, pet-safe fall goodies. These Pumpkin Pupcakes are a hit with dogs and are made with wholesome ingredients. Share the love with your four-legged family member!
Ingredients:
1 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup natural peanut butter (make sure it contains no xylitol)
2 cups whole wheat flour or oat flour
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350Ā°F (175Ā°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, applesauce, peanut butter, and eggs. Mix until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick batter forms. You can add a bit more flour or water if needed to get the right consistency.
Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a pupcake comes out clean.
Let the pupcakes cool completely before serving them to your furry friend.
Remember: Treats should be given in moderation, and if you have any concerns about allergies or dietary restrictions, consult with your veterinarian before introducing new treats into your pet's diet.
We hope your beloved pet enjoys these Pumpkin Pupcakes as a special fall treat!
