![]() They say caregivers and their ailing dogs bond more intensely.Ĭrissy bonded with me even more as in the last few months she was becoming blind and her vulnerability and complete trust in me heightened.įrom the time she went to the ER to the time we set her free from her ailing body was just 17 hours. So I was amazed that my bond with Crissy was just as strong. We had been through so much together in 15 years. Many of you remember how close I was with my dog Crazy Cocker Spaniel. The photo of me and her together was from a photo shoot towards the end of April as I knew her time was coming even before going to the cardiologist and finding out all the new stuff that was wrong. They adjusted her meds and she was doing good. Which makes congestive heart failure so hard is that it is very unpredictable.Ĭrissy had been doing very well on her medication but at her last cardiology visit in early May they said she had torn part of her atrium (think stretch mark for the heart), had chordae tendineae rupture (common in dogs with heart issues) and now had pulmonary hypertension. On Monday May 14th 2018, our Crissy was no exception to the rule. It’s the main way Cavalier King Charles Spaniels die. She experienced the syncope (fainting) due to her bad heart, she had mitral valve disease, which had progressed to managed congestive heart failure.Īll our cavaliers have mitral valve disease. We lost her back in 2016 to complications of pneumonia that she got while being at the ER for having a syncope. They also keep bugs and other nasties out of the treats.Jump to Recipe Salty and sweet these soft Butterscotch Salted Cashew Cookies are a perfect combo for the cashew and butterscotch lover in your life. Cookie jars are old-fashioned, but they’re fun and they do exactly what they are supposed to do they keep soft cookies soft and hard cookies hard. These cookies store very well in a dark place, like a cookie jar. Even shapes mean the cookies will all bake uniformly and you won’t have any half-cooked or over-cooked. The reason you want to use one of those is that you will have evenly shaped cookies. The best tool for shaping drop cookies is a small ice cream scoop. It’s a win-win! Shaping Coconut Butterscotch Pecan Cookies You can get pre-cut sheets that will fit your pans. It depends on how many baking sheets you have. Parchment paper is reusable, so you can either do two parchment-lined pans for 24 cookies at a time or one parchment-lined pan for 12 cookies at a time. I recommend using parchment paper on your half-sheet pan or cookie sheets. You can find butterscotch chips with the chocolate chips in the baking section of your market or as always, on Amazon. However, I prefer them with just the butterscotch. I have made these with 1/3 white chips, 1/3 semi-sweet chips, and 1/3 butterscotch. You can also substitute some of the chips. Actually, use could use any nut that you like or none at all. You could also substitute walnuts if you have those on hand. Of course, if you have a nut allergy, you would omit them entirely. When I made these, I happened to have some leftover candied pecans from making Grapefruit Pecan Salad with Raspberry Dressing, but regular pecans would work fine here. The biggest difference is that since there is no chocolate on the outside of the cookie, these don’t make a mess. I’ve always loved Girl Scout Samoa cookies and when I developed this recipe based on my favorite Betty Crocker Ultimate Chocolate Chip cookies, I was thinking of them.
