Sweet Treats....for the Dog!

I have no earthly idea what's gotten into me...but I am so totally into food crafts at the moment. There's just one slight problem. Once you make all these delicious delights...what are you going to do with them all? Yes, I know, I suppose I "could" eat them - seriously though....that's ALOT to eat...and Im not really a sweet eater...

So..I have solved the delimma...make doggie treats...she'll love them...I'll get to make them...decorate them....and I don't have to eat them...

So....that's what I did yesterday... because....



I whipped up a batch of doggie treats - healthy-sorta doggie treats with wheat flour, milk, bacon grease and cheese...



MmmmmMmmmm...okay...they did smell good when they baked...



And I baked aLOT of them....

But then.....this happened....



Yep..our goofy Julia...decided that since they we're made with real ingredients, she'd give'm a taste test before she gave one to Maggie our dog....

and here's the verdict......



Maggie has a smile on her face....don't you just love that?

I guess it's all in the presentation....What a great gift for a furry friend!
