What a great treat for the pooches. I heard some kids talking about what they would do to the first person who fell asleep at a slumber party – they agreed that putting something in the offending party’s mouth would be best. They talked about different ideas like blue cheese, wasabi, etc, but they landed on dog treats. They thought that would do the trick. I thought to myself, they obviously have never been to your site. Not to say I want to eat dog treats, but your recipes look good enough to eat!
Oh these look great! I need to pick up an orange and make some for my Rascal.
