Homemade treats!



You know that look on your doggy's face when you hold a treat out to them? It's adorably goofy, painfully hopeful and hilariously eager.

Your pup isn't going to turn his nose up at a Purina biscuit or even a Beggin' Strip... but you can do better than that! Give those pre-packaged bikkies a run for their money and give your l'il buddy something way, way better - HOMEMADE TREATS!

<insert goofy, hopeful, eager face here>

Ingredients
5 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup milk
2 eggs
10 tablespoon vegetable oil or bacon fat
1 pinch onion powder or garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil to grease pan

InstructionsMix all ingredients well. Pinch off pieces of the dough and roll them into two-inch balls. Bake biscuits at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Let them cool, then store in an airtight container. 

You should keep them in a tight container (just like you would if you baked yourself a batch of chocolate chip cookies) and you can put them in the fridge to prolong their goodness.


Thanks for the recipe, Gourmet Sleuth!

Fun game

This is the first of a series of posts called 'Making Up Expressions with the Word Dog in Them'.

How does it work? Well, basically, I'm going to make up an expression with the word dog in it then give you an example of when to use it so you can incorporate it into your life!

Expression: Like a dog running for Mayor.

How to use it: You could use this expression when someone or something is running for Mayor who has practically no chance of winning. Examples include a newborn baby, a penguin, a bottle of ketchup or a thumb.

As a Matter of Fact

Wikipedia has a way of making everything so factual.

Take this excerpt, for example. It's under the heading Roles with Human as Pets:
The most widespread form of interspecies bonding occurs between humans and dogs and the keeping of dogs as companions, particularly by elites, has a long history.

Whaaaaat? How could something as delightful as having a puppy be explained so blandly?

Wiki, you should try something like this:
Doggies + People = BFFs Forever


Much better!
