I'd like to dedicate today's post to my fiancee's mother, rightfully nicknamed "Busia" (Boo-sha). The Busia (Polish for "grandmother") transformation happened when we adopted our Polish refugee puppy. Being that Chris' mother is of Polish descent and so is Kasia, Patti went from being Mrs. Willis to Kasia's grandmother.
Busia has been readily available to lend a hand whenever we need her; rain or shine, morning, noon or night, in good times and in bad. She taught me how to sew pillows, clean/sanitize a Whirlpool jacuzzi tub and man, can she make a mean pasta salad. If it weren't for her, the move into our new home would've taken four additional months. Hats off to Busia! Also, Kasia loves her very much and makes Chewbacca noises whenever Busia comes over.
Swizzle Sticks
Having our everyday lives misplaced temporarily from changing addresses, we ran out of dog food. Because Kasia is spoiled and practically human I made the choice early on to not feed her crappy dog food. I absolutely associate my dog's good health and shiny coat to her awesome daily nourishment. I am willing to spend a little more (against Chris' wishes) on quality dog food, so she eats this Duck/Apple concoction.
Smelling like a mixture of rotten apples and duck casserole, Kasia throws back her breakfast and dinner like a champ. So, when we depleted our crap casserole stock, I had to hit up the local Eatz-N-Treatz for another 50-pounder.
While walking the dog food store, I came across an aisle of all-things-awesome: "Swizzle Sticks." Yes, that's right, cow dicks. However, this time around they had a new product on the shelves--- bison dicks. On sale for $6, I had to buy one for Kasia.
Perfectly hardened and seasoned with goodness, Kasia met her Swizzle Stick with a rapidly wagging tail and Chewbacca noises. I can't really wrap my head around the thought of giving my dog a bison weiner, but I'm willing to try since my little four-legged-unicorn-princess likes them so much.
The Jennie Show is a daily dose of how I view the world; no sweatpant too tight, no puppy too cute and no subject off limits. 39 years of life experience has brought me my awesome husband, an unruly but very soft-earred dog, and two delicious children. I love being a mom, cooking, ready historical biographies, running, skiing, Christmas, sauvignon blanc, lawn chairs and cheesy yacht-rock-style music (most often heard in a dentist office).
