My pup, being part lab, loves to eat anything. I'm talking dog food, treats, sticks, socks, USB keys ... I've even caught her a number of times with glass in her mouth. Because she loves to eat she has been great to train, as she does anything for food. As I like to know exactly what goes into her mouth (sometimes this is easier said than done), I decided it was time I made my own treats for her.

I tried my hand at these Dog Breath Biscuits. They're super easy to make and my doggy just loved them. By making your own dog cookies, you'll reduce the amount of packaging you bring into your house, you'll be sure there are only wholesome ingredients in her food and you'll save money.

Now, if I could only keep her from darting at squirrels ...

Do you make your own dog or cat treats?

Last weekend, my boyfriend, Kipp, and I went out and adopted ourselves the cutest dog in the whole world (see photo below)! Things have been running quite smoothly with our four-month-old labrador/collie mix. She's housebroken, she can stay alone in the house for up to two hours at a time (without causing too much trouble - the odd chewed plant and a chewed up favourite slipper aside) and she's already our new best friend, madly wagging her tail whenever she sees one of us.

But, I do have one little complaint. Dear little Scout is getting in the way of our attempts (more...)
