Pups need love at Christmas Time - Recipe Inside.

Well it's that time of year. Sparkling lights, Christmas trees everywhere and quite a bit of giving. I love giving my dog presents even though I'm not sure she even has a clue what is going on. Either way I love doing it so I don't feel like I'm leaving her out. I'm not fond of store bought treats. Have you ever just put your nose to them and actually smell them. I'm not sure as a dog I would ever eat them. Anyways this recipe is cool proof and fun. If you have little ones, you can make these after Santa's cookies are made that way your sweet pup doesn't bother Santa while he's laying out those presents. No one wants our little ones awake. So, below is the recipe. Get creative with your cookie cutters and have fun! My sweet Piper is below! Don't forget to share the treats with other pup friends!
