Dog Days of Summer

Wishbone's Dog Days of the West

I have often wondered where the expression Dog Days of Summer originated.  Could it somehow be associated with National Dog Day which is celebrated on August 26th?  Something to think about I guess.

Today is also Women’s Equality Day, the anniversary of women getting the right to vote.  Also something to think about.  So, whether you’re a dog lover or suffragist, today is a good day for remembering to cherish our pets, loved ones, our rights and our freedoms.

Why not pamper that special “pooch” with a few doggy treats he or she will enjoy.   A great gift idea for man’s best friend would be a travel pet basket.  The one shown here is loaded with toys, a travel pet bowl and their own bottle of drinking water.   A convenient way to make sure your pet stays hydrated when you’re out and about.

While you’re at it, take time to indulge the hard-working women in your life with a few sweets and treats too.  This home spa pail will be just what a girl needs after one of those long dog days of summer at the office.

Tea and Cupcakes

Tea Gift Basket

Food for thought. A good cup of tea can be enhanced with something sweet to go along with it. Cupcakes are a delicious addition while sipping your favorite flavor of tea. You won’t have to add sugar or honey to the tea because the icing from the cupcake is all the sweetness you’ll need.

Taking an afternoon break from the norm is what we all need from time to time. Skip the coffee, soda or other mid-day pick me ups and instead opt for a warm cup of relaxing tea. Recently, I had a cup of blueberry infused tea along with a red velvet cupcake. While I was waiting for the tea to steep in the French press, I sat and relaxed for a moment. What a treat!

Think about this. The next time you are invited to someone’s home for dinner your hostess might enjoy a gift of cupcakes and tea. It will be a great end to a good meal, not to mention a great conversation starter.

Just like we pair a bottle of wine with dinner, we can pair a delicious tea blend with the perfect cupcake flavor too. How about it, tea and cupcakes anyone? Try it.
