The latest pet-friendly recipe from the November issue of
Everyday Day With Rachael Ray uses your leftover rice to make Chinese Fake-Out for you (and your furry friend). Let your pooch take a small sample of the frozen veggies and egg combo mixed in with his regular kibble and add some grilled chicken on the side for you. Yum-o!

I'm not gonna lie but, when I saw this recipe, I had to do some research – what the heck is "stoup" anyway? Turns out it's a
one pot meal thicker than soup and thinner than stew that sounds great for falling Fall temps. Mmmm.

The look on this
cav's face says it all – yum-o! Although, the pot pie is crustless (and served cooled to room temperature), I think pups will still love it even without the warm-your-tum or pie parts that I think of with this dish.

There comes a time, most often when I'm ready to cook my dinner, when North magically appears in the kitchen. Although I've got pretty good immunity against his puppy-dog eyes, I know he wishes I was
baking him up a doggie treat! Although he's all about my chicken, I've got little interest in his kibble, so I was happy to spot a pet-friendly recipe from the pages of

Founded by a Russian Orthodox nun in 1965,
The Hermitage Cat Shelter started out with about 50 cats as lifetime residents. When Sister Seraphim entered a nursing home in 1989, a board of directors took over the management and began adopting out the cats. The shelter is now both an adoption center and a sanctuary for special-needs cats, including those who are FIV and FeLV positive and cats with other chronic health and behavioral problems such as partial paralysis, neurological problems, blindness, deafness, missing limbs, and diabetes.

No trip to Nola is complete without at least a brief stop in the French Quarter – just thinking about the beignets and café au lait makes me drool. I definitely want to check out the classic
Hotel Monteleone next time I travel there – this
historic (haunted!) hotel has been pet-friendly
since March 2007. In addition to decades of history and tradition, they now offer special pet treats and tips for your four-legged friends.
