Fearless hunter.

Took Casey to the "Y" for a walk yesterday.  First and foremost, wow, they have done a great job at this park.  I never knew there was so much to see.  Casey had a ball, she even made a new friend.




 
Kisses!!

Who shot the dog?

Wow, do you own a dead dog too?  Don't you envy how they can fall asleep anywhere, anytime?  Casey has actually fallen asleep while I've petted her head, all of a sudden there is dead weight in my hand.  The bad thing is she snores like a freight train and well she farts, she is part lab, what can I say...

Casey Pops recipe

I have a great summer treat idea, Casey loves these so much she has to have one everyday even in the winter!  Super easy and healthy.

I use a cheap plastic ice cube trays, but you can make these larger or smaller depending on the size of your dog.  The great thing is that they are thick enough that you can make them free-form on a cookie sheet if you like.  Just remember the more liquid you use, the harder the treat will be and then the dogs tend to swallow them whole instead of chewing them up.

I use a food processor, but you can use a blender or just make in a bowl.  You don't need to measure, but I will use them for reference.

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
1/2 cups shredded carrots or apples without seeds or core
Add pure no sugar added apple juice to make it thin enough

I blend this all together, put in a plastic zip bag, cut the tip and squeeze into the ice cube tray and freeze.  I take the extra and freeze in a baggie for future pops.  Saves time and I'm all about that!
