Doggy Treats

Because Belle (the pit mix) has a lot of allergies and Rori and I like to cook we have been experimenting with  dog treat recipes. I like the Dog Treat Kitchen recipes the best (you can find them here: http://www.dogtreatkitchen.com). We actually used one of their recipes to create our own fruity treat that JJ and Beau both love. Belle can't eat them because they aren't wheat free. So I have decided to share this recipe with you.

The treats baking 

Dog treats will last in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, in the freezer for 4 months. Makes approximately 70 teaspoon sized treats. You can make them larger for a larger breed dog, just be sure to bake them an additional 5-10 minutes.

JJ really loves these and baking them makes the house smell great. Also you can eat these with your dog as there is nothing that is not in a normal human cookie.
