I was just working tonight – thinking about some new plans to further grow the business. And my boy, Sammy stopped in to see me.
Love the Sangwich. But then I should explain. The comedian, Dane Cook (yes, offensive!) – did this bit one time about a fast food joint. During the bit he mention a “chicken sandwich”, only he called the sandwich a “sangwich.”
The evolution of our dog Sammy’s name has started off as Samual Adams, that morphed into the Earl of Sandwich; then the Earl of Sangwich – and now, well, he is Sangwich. He has had some other baked good names – typically related to his snagging some food from places he shouldn’t be (like the kitchen table or the counter). His attack on a box of Dunkin Donuts is legendary and resulted in his nickname “Cruller.” There was an equally epic snag off the table of the chips and cheese dip resulting in Sangwich becoming “Queso.”

Love the Sangwich. He is an awesome dog. Though it may sound as though he has guts of steal, unfortunately, the little dude just has a sensitive tummy. Sammy is 7 years old this spring and up until last summer either vomited or had diarrhea every 2 to 3 weeks from the day I got his tubby little self from a lady boarding horses where I did. Several trips to the vet with a clean bill of health and the shear randomness of it all – we just couldn’t figure out what was going on. Last summer I felt so bad for him. He seemed physically fine, but the horrible purging his little body was doing was just screaming to me that there was just something about his store bought food (and we tried numerous brands over the years) that just didn’t work for him.
I started making his food at home. It is my own recipe, nothing fancy – ground hamburger, sliced carrots, green beans, and brown rice – all mixed / cooked together in a giant stew. HE LOVES IT!!! He hasn’t thrown up or had diarrhea since. Amazing.
He is our taste tester – and has granted nothing but rave reviews to all of our icing mixes (naturally!). And since the conversion of dog food, his sensitive little tummy has had no issues. Seems he is quite alright with the human food!
Sammy by the dock.
