      I always try to do something special for each holiday and was at a loss as to what to do for St. Paddy's this year. Thankfully I had everything I need to make these shamrocks shakes so I did a test-run. They won! So glad I found them.

      Hi Genevieve, please delete this message but I just wanted to point out that you've spelled German Shepherd wrongly. It's shepherd as in dog for sheep. Also, although I'm not an expert, as someone who has always had 2 dogs, I think you can run your dogs together as long as they get on and are obedient. But as you say, maybe to introduce them to that gradually!
