Why does an 8-month-old Los Gatos puppy prefer to potty indoors?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:16:35 GMT

DEAR JOAN: My 10-pound, 8-month-old puppy (part Havanese/part poodle) is very bright, very sweet and a challenge. I purchased him from a breeder when he was 6 months old.I take him out regularly to go potty, and he also seems comfortable going through the doggie door. However, he seems to prefer to poop in my home, and he periodically pees on the bed of my other dog, a 9-year-old Rhodesian ridgeback, who is also very smart and friendly.My two dogs seem to get along pretty well, and my puppy also plays with my daughter’s two small dogs, more his age and size.I hope I am not too late in helping him learn to always poop and pee outside. He was neutered a few weeks ago.— Sidney Mygatt, Los GatosDEAR SIDNEY: The first step is make sure there isn’t a medical reason for this behavior. Ask your vet to check your puppy for intestinal parasites and food allergies. If he’s perfectly healthy, then we look for other reasons.He might not be comfortable going outside. Dogs feel vulnerable wh...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:16:35 GMT

Are you seeking inspiration for a festive springtime platter to serve for brunch? Look no further than this very green salad, layered with fresh, clean and simple ingredients that sing spring. Asparagus, eggs and quinoa are layered over a bed of baby greens, drizzled with a briny citrus and caper vinaigrette. Elegant, light and healthy, this is an all-day salad; it’s not only good for brunch, but for lunch and dinner as well.In this recipe, hard-cooked eggs are quartered as well as grated. Eggs mimosa is a French culinary term for grated or sieved hard-cooked eggs. It’s aptly named for the brilliant yellow mimosa flowers that bloom in spring and share the same sunny color as the crumbled egg yolks. Typically, the crumbled eggs are showered over toasts and salads or used as an ingredient in deviled eggs.It’s also notable that the word “mimosa” applies to the popular orange juice and champagne morning cocktail (no relation to eggs). So, I’ll just le...

Insider Q&A: Hostess Brands CEO Andy Callahan

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:16:35 GMT

Hostess Brands President and CEO Andy Callahan knows that his company __ the maker of Twinkies, HoHos and other snack cakes __ is sometimes the butt of jokes.“A lot of people think a Twinkie has a shelf life of a thousand years,” Callahan said. “It doesn’t. Once it gets to the store, it typically has to be sold within 35 days.”Callahan says a steady stream of new products, like candy bar-inspired Kazbars and miniature Baby Bundt cakes, have been key to winning over skeptics and leading them back to old favorites. “When the consumer is reintroduced to a Twinkie, they’re always delighted because of our investment in our product quality,” Callahan said.Hostess, which was founded in 1925, almost didn’t make it into the new millennium. The company filed for bankruptcy twice before private equity investors formed Hostess Brands in 2013. Callahan discussed the challenge of leading a brand with a history, as well as his service in the U.S. Navy, with The Associated Press. His comments have ...

Briny feta makes a full meal of tomatoey Greek baked beans

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:16:35 GMT

On the Greek table, vegetable dishes called ladera are not intended as mere sides. Instead, these filling meals put vegetables center stage, often involving lavish amounts of legumes braised in olive oil and tomato — plus plenty of crusty bread to sop up the juices.For that, you can thank the Orthodox Christian faith, which calls for meat- and dairy-free diets 40 days before both Easter and Christmas, as well as two weeks in August, plus every Wednesday and Friday the rest of the year. But the tradition has permeated the broader culture, with dishes such as gigantes plaki enjoyed in taverns and homes alike.This much-loved Greek dish, which is essentially a slightly more elaborate version of baked beans, braises enormous gigante white beans in a savory tomato sauce with copious extra-virgin olive oil for richness. The sauce typically is assembled on the stovetop, and once the dried gigantes are soaked and added to the sauce, the dish bubbles to completion in the oven.In this version ...
