A new cousin dog

My brother-in-law and his family just got a new Golden Retriever puppy named Chase. I am almost dreading going to meet Chase as I know that this will lead to more puppy pleas at our house. We are working on a way to fence in more of our yard, currently, but that "excuse" doesn't hold much water around these parts. Maybe once school starts I'll feel up to chasing after a puppy, but summer vacations is kinda kicking my butt right now!

Homemade dog treats

"Home Made Dog Treats Category: Around the House
Tired of the expense of dog biscuits, but still want to treat your "babies"? I make a variety of drop biscuits using flour, meat broth of some kind, a little corn meal, some seasoning (onion and garlic powder), an egg and enough milk to make it "droppable" onto a greased cookie sheet. Sometimes I use ketchup and powdered parmesan- those are favorites! I drop them by spoonful, not too big, and bake them at about 300 degrees until crunchy (turning them over helps, and then leave them in the oven after you turn it off for additional crunch.) They turn out differently every time, but my dogs go crazy when they hear the oven timer go off!
