DIY Christmas Dog Treats + Gifts for Aspiring Pet Chefs

It's almost time for our howliday blogging break, and today we're wrapping up our 2016 posts with a double posting dose of festive inspiration. First up we have a round-up of tasty Christmas treats from our archives and recent posts that you can make and share with your furfriends, a free holiday dog treat cookbook (yay!), and ideas for Christmas kitchen-themed presents for animal-loving bakers and/or budding pet chefs. We also have a follow-on post with Last Minute Christmas Gifts for the Dogs + Their Humans (don't miss our silly little Christmas GIF at the end of that post) then it's time to start our own blogging holidays!

101 Fun Facts and Trivia Tidbits About Dalmatians

We are still setting things up around here, and to help you to get to know us a little better (hello there new friends...sniff sniff!), it seemed only right that our initial post here at Dalmatian DIY be an introduction to our spotty breed, so we created a list of 101 Fun facts and Trivia Tidbits About Dalmatians just for you! After we worked through all of our research and compiled the list, we thought it would be great to pop it into it's own page instead of a standard post so that it will be easier for folks to find in the future. After all, you never know when you are going to need a little "spot" of information! Happy reading...and you can pat my spots for luck anytime!
