Surprise Cookies!

Hello Dog Mom's!


I wasn't planning on making do cookies today, but I thought I would share this with you. I was making some human peanut butter cookies and had extra batter. I could have made the whole batch, put some of in the fridge to make later, or make dog treats. Rose and Indy's frequent trips into the kitchen to see what I was doing made the choice pretty easy. Here is how I turned human cookies into dog treats.

First, I will give you the recipe that I used to make peanut butter cookies. This is an egg free recipe so please realize that these treats will taste very peanut butter heavy. The texture will not be like a normal cookie either so be aware of that as well.

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies (HUMANS ONLY)


1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter (can sub chunky)
1 Cup Flour (sub the kind you like as needed)
1 Cup Sugar ( I do not like all of this sugar so I cut in half)

Mix together in a bowl and roll into small balls. Place on cookie sheet and bake in the over at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Check around 5 minutes to see if the cookies are browning.
                           

This will make 12 cookies

Optional Step:
After cooking, quickly place 1  peanut butter cup or heresy kiss on top of cookie for added flavor.

********************************************************************

Dog Treat:

Since I had left over batter, and I didn't use much sugar I felt I could go ahead and make the dogs their cookies. Since you already have batter,  you will not have to make anymore unless you want. I did put in another spoonful of peanut butter.

*Recipe above with one more heaping spoonful of peanut butter
* 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce

Mix all ingredients together until forms a ball.You may need to add more flour if needed.

Once mixed, separate the mixture into 12 equal size balls, and flatten like a pancake. Place on a cookie sheet and bake in the over at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Check at 8 minutes to see if cookie is becoming brown.

This will make about 12 cookies. More or less depending on how big you want to make the cookies. The mixture and cookies will look similar. Don't forget to keep the dog and human treats separated.


It's kind of fun that you can get both human and dog treats out of one starting recipe. Keep in mind that not all treats are appropriate for every dog. Follow your vet's advice. If you aren't sure, do not feed it to your pet.
NEVER ADD CHOCOLATE TO DOG TREATS

Dog Treat Results!

Hello Modern Dog Moms!



After I made the video on how to make the treats yesterday, I forgot to post the results. Today, I am going to link the site for you to view the video showing the end results of the products. I hope you enjoyed this because I had a lot of fun trying these out. The dogs had a lot of fun eating these as you can see! There is a special guest spot done by Indy!



As always, remember that you need to consult your vet anytime that you are making treats. Your dogs may have allergies or are sensitive to certain foods. You may have to adjust these recipes to make them for your dog, or you may not be able to use them at all. I am not a vet, and if you don't know if these will cause a reaction for your dog, do not make these treats. It's always better to be safe than sorry.


Follow the link posted below which will take you to the Modern Dog Mom's Facebook page. You will see the results video posted. Thanks!!

Rosie Blog: Day 1

Rose's Mommy went out of town for a few days so I am taking care of her myself and with her big brother, Indy the Lab. She is having a hard time without her Mommy so here is her adventures. Rose is a pretty fun dog, and she has a lot of spunk! Here are here logs...

Rose's Blog: Dog Date, Day One:

Rose's Mommy left for a few days yesterday. However, she left without saying goodbye to her in an attempt to make the whole thing less stressful for the dog. Rose ran around the house and cried for 4 hours. Rose then laid down on the couch in a pile of sadness. That sadness didn't last forever and it soon turned into pure puppy rage! 

 In the middle of the night, Rose kicked open my half closed door and trotted into the room. She jumped on my bed where she proceeded to kick Indy's butt!! She then gave up on life and finally wen to sleep. When I got up for the morning, I go to the bathroom. (Hey, I'm human and everyone goes!) Rose stayed in bed but Indy always follows me everywhere. All of a sudden, puppy rage kicks in and she, the little 7 pound puppy, kicks open the bathroom door and walks into the room and stared us both down! She then let out the loudest bark I have ever heard and took off running down the hall. Only to come back a few moments later, lean in and look into the room, give me the stink eye, and leave again. 

I then took Rose outside to do her own business. She trotted up to the fence to do what she needed to do! However, I try to keep her away from the fence because the neighbors (who are very nice) have 5 dogs and I don't want Rosie to get into any sort of trouble. Rose doesn't like that rule and her little body turns very heavy when she wants to do what she wants to do. She lugs me over to the fence and does her thing...but we can see the neighbor's dogs watching us through the windows. They are barking, but Rose does the international symbol for, "what are you going to do about it, bro?" Then the dogs stop barking while she gives them the evil eyed star down. Rose waits several more moments before breaking the stare and allows me to take her inside the house where she  demanded food, and to play with her ball. 

Rose just participated in her very first Snap Chat with Mommy, and Mommy's friends. (The people that she likes to bark at on the phone.) She did a good job, but her rage shined through! She misses her Mommy and is taking it out on everyone. Currently, she has exhausted herself so much that she is finally sleeping! 

More to come later, but the first few hours has been a challenge. Rose is a strong pup, and she will have many adventures to come in the following days!
