Well a Happy Presidents Day to my sweets!! How are all of your doing today? Yesterday I spent some very fun and relaxing quality time with my monkey aka Pyper, a 7 year old Pit Bull Boxer mix. She is as fiesty as she is hyper, and such an adorable nut and she is not only the reason I wasn't able to blog yesterday but she is the inspiration for todays treat! You see I wasn't able to visit with you all yesterday because a certain little someone needed her bath, and having an old fashioned claw foot tub and a puppy who refuses to go willingly , I had to pick her up and hurt my back doing so. But never one to back down she got her bath then she and I cuddled up to relax. It was a beautiful day.
I have been an Animal Lover all my life, and have always had dogs around. Recently after 13 years one of my dogs a very special puppy named Piggy passed away of old age and it was tough on everyone but especially Pyper who had to get used to being the only dog in the house. She has been acting a little moopy lately , and I decided to do something special for her. If you haven't figured it out yet, let me help you out, today's treat will not be for you but a little something special for your favorite 4 legged partner in crime!
Home Made treats are not only easy and fun to make but a great alternative to having to run out to the pet store every time your little friend finds the hidden stash. Oh wait did that only happen to me? Oh that Pyper! You can make them in any shape or size just like a regular cookie. There are all different recipe, and each is all natural, and sugar free. Just in case you have a munchy muncherson in your house like I do, who eats everything then ask questions later, these treats are people friendly to. But then again so are those Milk Bones if you were to listen to my nephew who loved eating them!
Into the lab I went and grabbed some ingredients I needed to make my Hyper Pyper's favorite treat, peanut butter bones! Got the oven preheating and started mixing everything together while my 4 legged assistant waited patiently wagging her tale to see if I dropped anything. She got very excited though when mommy let her lick the spoon, that dog loves the peanut butter. Never one to miss out she waited and waited until her treats had come out the oven and cooled off. As per usual she got two, one that she hid under her favorite pillow for later and the other to eat right away. As I had mentioned you can make these any shape or sizes you want, just use the cookie cutters that you have on hand. I don't care what some believe, but Pyper like most dogs thinks she is a human and when she gets a treat that looks like an actually cookie she loves it!
Well every one I'm off, there is snow in the yard and Pyper likes nothing better after a yummy treat then to go play in the fresh snow! Don't be afraid to try out making your own home made treats for your special friend, its easy to make and you can find recipes for treats for all of your pets from Dogs to Cats to even your turtle! Tomorrow we are working on a great tasty treat, that will have your mouth watering! Till Then...
Happy Baking from Bradley Sweets!
