I will admit, I did the 'Teddy is gone Jig' when he left yesterday.
TWO new dogs, a Weimaraner and a Cockapoo.
Wilma the Weimaraner is a love bug and a very busy dog.
She managed to get out of the gated kitchen.
I guess that explains why they call Weimaraners the dog with the human brain.
They are highly intelligent and can solve problems. And it seems to be true, she definitely has me figured out and wrapped around her paw!
Now if she could just solve the, why does every dog I have to sleep over either poops or pees in the house problem! I also read that they are high strung and suffer from separation anxiety.
Okay, so she did wake me up at 4am pacing and with diarrhea. Thank god my husband thinks she is so cool. She slept with my daughter and the cockapoo insisted on sleeping with me so my husband slept on the landing bed. I have the best husband!
Have you ever noticed how anything written about any dog breed mentions how highly intelligent they are.
No one ever says, "this dog is just god awful stupid".
Come on now, I have met some stupid dogs, so they can't all be 'highly intelligent'.
But of course my dog is sooooo smart!! And all the dogs I love to sit.
Cody the Cockapoo (see a trend here with the first initials, cute huh?) is a fun dog.
A small ball of fluff, cuddly and quiet. I was told he has accidents in the house, but this is the first dog that has not gone in the house!! Yeah! So far anyway. Please knock on some wood for me.
This is why tonight we made;
California Caiparina
1 oz Leblon Cachaca
1 oz Bacardi Limon
4 sprigs of fresh basil
1/2 lime
splash gingerale
fresh cracked pepper
Muddle the basil and cut up lime in a rock glass.
Add the liquor
Add ice to fill the glass
stir or shake then add gingerale and garnish with cracked pepper
We first tasted this drink in San Diego this Summer and it has become my favorite summer drink. Sounds weird but is so delicious!
Try it and let me know what you think.
I'm not commenting on Teddy, I'm commenting on the drink. (go figure!)
ReplyDeleteThis drink is one of the signature cocktails at "George's at the Cove" in La Jolla, CA. Dara and I had a romantic dinner for two there and we recommend it very highly if you're ever in the SD area.
A Caiparinha is a very simple drink that Wikipedia calls Brazil's National Cocktail. It's basically Cachaca (or rum or vodka), fresh lime, and sugar. It's served in a rocks glass since it has much less volume than the similar mojito. There are of course infinite variations on the theme, and George's "California" theme throws in basil (in plentiful supply in gardens right now!) and cracked pepper. Substitute mint for the basil if you don't have any, and add sugar to taste. We make ours without sugar because the rum and ginger ale are already sweet. The Barcardi Limon adds a nice lemony flavor but is by no means required.
Finally, "muddling" is the process of smashing something with a wooden pestle or "pounder". If you don't have a pestle just throw all ingredients together and let it sit for a few minutes before drinking to mix all the flavors.
Best enjoyed with a friendly dog at your feet.
i think weimaraners are such beautiful dogs. my kids are dying to get a dog but i told they need to wait until i'm done with nursing school, no way am i adding a puppy to that mess.
