Licking Paws Itchy Ears

Dogs who lick their paws a lot and have very itchy ears may be doing this because they are reacting to grains in their diet. (As always check with your vet).

Here are two great recipes for dog treats that are grain free.

Cheese Biscuits

3 cups garbanzo bean flour, plus extra needed for rolling

1 cup cheddar cheese

cup powdered milk

2 tablespoons safflower oil

cup warm water

Grated parmesan cheese for topping

Pre Heat oven to 375

Mix flour, powdered milk, and cheddar cheese. Add oil and water. Stir into dough. Add some more flour (up to cup) until dough rolls easily. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and roll to to inch thickness. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Store in refrigerator in airtight container.

Liver Crunchies

1 pound ( 2 cups ) beef liver.

2 eggs

1 cups garbanzo bean flour.

cup cheddar cheese shredded

Pre Heat oven 300

Puree liver with eggs in food processor. Add mixture to flour in large bowl and stir in cheese. Turn onto baking sheet covered in grease or non-stick foil. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool, peel off baking sheet and cut into treat size. For soft treats refrigerate treats, for crunchy treats return to oven and bake at 150 for three hours until treats are hard and crunchy. Twice-baked treats can be stored at room temperature.

Pink Ribbon Jewelry For Breast Cancer

Since time immemorial, diamonds have been presented as the greatest symbol of love. Theyre a womans best friend, so in line with this we at Diamond Safe have come up with a very special collection to show love to women everywhere and help those with breast cancer.

Studies have shown that breast cancer is the number one cause of death in women. This year alone, more than 200,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with this disease, which mean that every 2 minutes a diagnosis of breast cancer will be made. It could strike anyone, regardless of race, creed or social level.

Yes, it is a frightening prospect, but medical strides have made it now possible to beat the killer disease. And with early detection, the survival rate over 5 years can reach up to 98%, with a growing rate of breast cancer survivors each year - 2 Million to date.

To continue fighting for and with women everywhere, we at Diamond Safe believe that through education, awareness and continuous research the disease can be stopped.

Our special Breast Cancer Jewelry Collection was created with this in mind. Our beautifully designed pieces were made to symbolize the pink ribbon breast cancer awareness stands for can be worn by women everywhere as a reminder that the battle goes on with the disease.

This collection includes a limited edition line of gorgeous pieces, with rings, necklaces, charms, pins and pendants with inspirational names such as band of Courage, Optimism Earrings and Conviction Pin.

For every piece sold from this special collection, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to further breast cancer research and educate women everywhere.
