Guess what… here's another little sneak peek! ☀️🐾

Hi,Reader!

Thank you so much to everyone who opened, read, replied, or simply shared in my excitement about the tentative June 1st launch of Doggone Healthy Choices Digital Magazine!🐾

Building something new is exciting… and yes… still a little nerve-wracking too!

As I continue putting things together, I wanted to share another quick Doggone Healthy Choices Summer Tip you can try at home:

☀️🐾DIY Doggone Cooling Station

Hot day? Try creating a simple little cool-down spot for you and your dog.

Ideas:

🧊 Fresh cold water nearby for both of you

🧊 A shady spot, porch, patio, cooling mat, damp towel, or favorite cool floor

🧊 Frozen goodies! Try ice cubes in water, chilled cucumber slices for you, or a dog-safe frozen treat for your best furry friend

☀️🐾Bonus Doggone Healthy Choices Summer Treat Tip

Need a simple cool-down treat for you and your best furry friend?

Try this easy Banana Peanut Butter Whip!

You'll need:

🍌 Peeled frozen bananas
(You can slice them before freezing to make blending easier!)

🥜 Peanut butter
(Please check your label — NO xylitol / birch sugar!)

💧 A tiny splash of water
(just enough to help things blend)

How to make it:

1. Peel, slice, and freeze your bananas.
2. Add frozen banana pieces to your blender.
3. Add a little peanut butter.
4. Add a small splash of water — not much — just enough to help those frozen bananas blend.
5. Blend until creamy!

Serve it:

🍦 Soft-serve style right away

OR

❄️ Freeze it a bit longer for an extra chilly treat.

Serve it in a cone, a cup, a bowl, or your dog's dish…

A scoop for you, a scoop for your pup — cool summer smiles in every cup!🐾☀️

(As always, adjust portions appropriately for your dog companion and any dietary needs.)

🧊 A few quiet minutes to simply relax, hydrate, and reconnect together

Sometimes healthy living isn't complicated — it's creating small moments of comfort, wellness, and connection alongside our dogs.

And speaking of connection…

One of the things I'm most excited about for Doggone Healthy Choices Digital Magazine is featuring real people and real dogs living real lives together.

Walkers, runners, hikers, trainers, volunteers, couch snugglers, everyday adventurers, best friends…

I'd still love to hear your story for our launch issue!

I would love the opportunity to mention you and your best furry friend in our very first issue.

Please email me:

• Your first name
• Your dog's name(s)
• Your email or contact information
• A short version of your story
• Optional photo(s)

Bonus: I'm hoping to personally meet some selected participants (or meet locally / come to you when possible) for a small photo session featuring you and your best furry friend.
