Hiya, fiesta-ing friends! I’ve been so busy this week, with life in general, that I haven’t had time to sit and think. Seriously!
First my daughter was sick.
Then my husband sprained his fingers.
Then the neighbor wanted a division of my hibiscus bush.
Then to top off the already-eventful week, Skye peed on my carpet!
Thanks a lot, Skye! That’s just great, the icing on the cake, hurray!
Thank goodness the husband’s hand was getting better and he was there to help shampoo the carpet.
But I swear, I think Skye is starting to lose her mind. She’s just turned 11, and she’s getting more and more of these senior moments. Do dogs also suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, I wonder?!
And by the way, once again I’m looking for cohosts. If you interested in becoming one, let me know!
Time for features!
“For those who are partial to apple dumplings (like me) but have little time to make them (like me), this is an easy recipe using ready-made crescent rolls. How clever!” — Angie
“I wish I could reach through the screen and grab that delicious sub and dip it in that inviting au jus. It has been so long since I have had one of these. Just delicious!” — Antonia
“I could eat an entire plate of these beauties! What a wonderful way to turn fried chicken into something flavorful and sophisticated. Yum!” — Antonia
“I’ve never had Brunswick Stew, or at least I don’t think I have, but have always been intrigued by it, what with the promise of it containing squirrel or opossum meat and all. It sounds like the perfect stew for the coming cold weather.” — Angie

hi Angie
What a week, it sounds very busy! Am glad your husband is bettering better!
Our dog, a parsons jack russell got dementia and got lost under benches, the kitchen table, couldn’t find his way back inside from the garden and barked at imaginary dogs walking past the window, he had a lot to say! That said he was very happy but yes he had accidents as well, all we could do was to make sure he was happy and I kept cleaning stuff near his “favorite” spots.
Thank you for taking the time to host us again! Delicious features as always!
Have a great weekend and take care xx
Angie says
Thanks!
So sad about our pooches ? Can’t bear the thought of my Skye getting old, but I know it’s inevitable. I just need to prepare myself better. Have a wonderful weekend, Petra!
Tamy says
Another GREAT party – THANK YOU for hosting. I brought my WALNUT COLE SLAW, TUSCAN CHICKEN and PINEAPPLE POMEGRANATE CHEESECAKE to the party. I hope you have a FANTASTIC week.
Angie says
Wow, everything you brought sounds fantastic! Especially the pineapple cheesecake! Thanks, Tamy ?

Hey, my mistake… could you eliminate #24, A Miso Soup… – from the lineup? I’d posted it last week. Apologies for linking that one again. (The other three ARE new…)
Angie says
Will do, no worries ?
Of Goats and Greens says
Frugal Hausfrau’s Bistro Steak Subs look awesome (and, yeah, I want to find those plates, too…)
Angie says
Me, too! I want those plates. And the subs ?
frugal hausfrau says
Thanks guys!! And the plates are a second-hand find, I think they might be supposed to be platters!! I checked, no markings on them.

What a week you had, Angie! It is nice to know that the husband is feeling better. But oh no, the carpet, Skye!?
And yasss, thank you for featuring my Korean Style Chicken Popcorn. Thanks to Antonia, too.?
Happy Fiesta Friday, Angie. I wish you a wonderful and relaxing weekend!?
Angie says
The weekend has been eventful, too, Jhuls. I can’t get a break, groan… Right this very minute, I have to take my daughter to the mall to find a dress for an upcoming dance. The joys of motherhood ?
Jhuls | The Not So Creative Cook says
My daughter also sent me a message yesterday asking for something.? I told her we will talk about it when we see each other. Hmmm…?
Dee | Grammy's Grid says
Thanks so much for hosting! I’d like to invite you to linkup your Halloween posts at my party, #AThemedLinkup for All Things Halloween.
Angie says
Thanks, Dee, will do!

I was thinking about Skye; you might want to get her into the vet just in case. Sometimes older dogs have utis, and sometimes they lose their taste for water and that makes it easier for a uti to happen. And of course, if that’s the case, she would have that sense of urgency. It seems like just yesterday that you got her. It can be hard to adopt an older dog, they’re with us for a shorter time but just think of all the love you’ve given her and a wonderful life! Besides, terriers can live for a long time! I bet she’s going to be around a long time yet! And I swear by Nature’s Miracle. You can get it at PetSmart. It’s in a big white jug with red letters.
Angie says
We did suspect uti, too, so we took a urine sample to the vet’s. She’s now on antibiotics. She’s only been with us for 3 yrs; we got her when she was 8. At first I was hesitant but the shelter did say terriers can live for more than 15 yrs with proper care. She seems healthy overall, her last blood test was normal, but it’s concerning that she keeps getting uti. I was reading up on Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). I should get her tested. I’ll get Nature’s Miracle next time I go to PetSmart, thanks!
Angie says
Oh, and thanks for cohosting!
