What does freedom mean to you?
Make mistakes, have quiet time, laugh-love-yodel (uncontrollably)?
Blue sky mornings! Regardless the temperature.
What is your favorite type of weather?
Today, at the Owen Sound Farmers Market. I’m looking westward and see heavy duty cloud banks generated over Lake Huron. I enjoy watching the contrasting light effects.
We are at the market, ready to serve you Black Dog Biscuits, until 12:30 p.m.
Tobey, I’m looking at you!
Who is the most confident person you know?
Join us at the Owen Sound Market, today, until 12:30 p.m.
Why, I would go to OWEN SOUND FARMERS MARKET!
Where would you go on a shopping spree?
I’m an unapologetic spokes-human for Black Dog Biscuits.

Don’t. Be. Cheap.
Write about your approach to budgeting.
You gotta know when hold ‘em.
Know when to fold ‘em.
Know when to walk away…
…know when to run!
You never count your money,
When you’re sitting at the table.
There’ll be time enough for counting,
When the dealing’s done!
With apologies to The Gambler. February 17th.
Owen Sound Market, Saturday mornings!
We interviewed and tried out different markets. This one has the best variety, ALL YEAR LONG. Come for the dog biscuits and stay for the (excellent) human food & crafts.

Huh… I didn’t know that about these dog cookies!
As we are settling into our temporary home here in Lion’s Head, your Black Dog Biscuit creator shared the following bits of trivia about the product with me (as I finagle with my chores’ list).
- Sweet potato flour. It’s not purchased ready-made. It takes 2270 grams of raw sweet potato will make 446 grams of dried sweet potato flour. This is after peeling, (razor-sharp) mandolining, dehydrating for 15-24 hours, and milling the sweet potato flakes! And yes, I insist TS use a butcher’s chainmail glove (especially after witnessing a recent mishap [cringe]).
- Preparing fresh Black Dog Bisuits for packaging. To make the dog cookies shelf-stable, TS further dehydrates them for 10-12 hours. This gives the Black Dog Biscuits that characteristic crunchy texture (that dog’s adore). By the way, I like calling the food dehydrator and jerky maker the “SnackMaster Y2K”! Oh yeah! 🙂
- The peanuts are raw, not roasted. While the legumes are blanched (to deskin them), the peanuts are only baked only once (to preserve their nutritional value).
Biscuits are BACK
Tonight (and December 14 & 21, 2023), Black Dog Biscuits will be at the Guelph Farmers’ HOLIDAY Market. 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. EST.
Right Now! As I help my spouse sling dog biscuits!
When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?
Firewood, dog biscuits, peace and…
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?
…and quiet! TS and PN want to offer a 21st century off-grid B&B (bed and breakfast) along the Bruce Trail. It takes time and resources. Oh, and a formal business profile! When we are ready, there will be formal (bordering on obnoxious) media releases.
Eventually, as we settle into our future home, I want to explore hardwood pelletization. We have a lifetime supply of fuel in this lot. I want to practice what I preach about sustainable forestry. Not the nonsense practiced by Canada. Permaculture! Using ‘donut economics’ (as TS would muse).
In the short term, I will support TS’s biscuit effort.
We are ON THE SCENE!
Despite moving homes, your biscuits are being made. Fresh!
Misbehaving Jetpack!
I would howl at the Moon, then I’m good to go!
How much would you pay to go to the moon?
So no. No manned lunar liaisons for me.
Come and Buy Dog Biscuits Instead!
Sit-ups, crunches, abdominal cardio-floor-work: nope!
What have you been putting off doing? Why?
Yes, I know about all the benefits of such strengthening activities. Yes, I know it reduces back pain. It’s the nausea and hurling sensation.
Day 2 … At Fieldstone Barn (Elora, ON)
