Time To Make Dog Biscuits

Are you a dog lover? As we stock our pantries let’s not forget about our four legged friends!  We have been without a dog for the last two years. Not by choice, but we had been taking care of our daughter’s Boston Terrier while they were living abroad and when they returned to the states two years ago, Riley went back to live with them.

My daughter and her family have move again, this time to the west coast. They found a wonderful house to rent until they decide exactly where they want to settle so Riley is once again On The Home Front!

It’s been while since I made dog biscuits but with Riley under the roof it’s time.

This recipe has always been a favorite with our dogs and I like feeding Riley good, healthy treats. Today was a perfect dog to mix up a batch. I plan to freeze half of the batch as Riley is a small dog and it will take her a while to eat them all!

Mix all the ingredients, adding more hot water if necessary.

Turn off heat and let cool in the oven overnight.

I have to say they were a big success!
