Christmas Treats for our Pups!

  Time for a new challenge at The Outlawz Anything Goes in a Card-free Zone (formerly known as The Outlawz Paper à la Mode) and the Optional theme is Food!  So, I've decided to make some dog treats and then make a Christmas Gift Bag for them!

Here's a video to explain how I made the bag big enough for the yummy treats!

Disclaimer/Alert:  When feeding dogs peanut butter remember #1) Dogs can have peanut allergies!  #2) *Never feed a peanut butter that includes Xylitol!!  For advice on this consult your vet or you might enjoy this article from the AKC. www.akc.org/expert-advice/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-peanut-butter

 Always feed treats in moderation due to salt/sugar intake!  I need to follow that advice for myself!  ;)

Here's the Recipe for the Treats!  

1/2 c *Peanut Butter

2 c flour ~ I used whole wheat

2 large eggs

1/4 cut water (I used about a Tablespoon more!)

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes.  Store in air tight container up to a week.  These will keep in the freezer until you are ready to thaw!

Kristin Armstrong

As I read this quote, I was reminded of the great trainers (both horse and dog) who have always talked about human agenda vs animal output during training.  I am currently working with a trainer who emphasizes just this quote.  Be grateful for the animal and tries, then the disappointment won't overtake the time together!
