My Healthy Doggies!

Hello everyone!

I know this is not a pet health blog, but personally I take my dog's health seriously and feed them organic food and make sure they get plenty of exercise and of course, affection. Wilma is my very sweet, almost 8 month-old, ball of energy and Patch is my 10 year-old and is without a doubt, the best running dog ever. He has slowed down a lot, but is trim, fit and very healthy. I have tried various recipes for dog biscuits and here is my latest. Wilma loved them and Patch thought they were o.k. We walk up the hill to see the sunrise almost every morning. Patch lays down and takes it all in and Wilma sits and looks only after she has run around full speed ahead for a while. I sip my tea, enjoy the view and laugh! Oh, the simple pleasures. 

1/2 cup chopped carrots

1 cup tightly packed spinach leaves, chopped fine

1/2 cup coconut flour (you may use a different flour if you like, but coconut flour is very dense, so you might have to add a bit more)

1/2 cup peanut butter

3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

2 tablespoons oat bran

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons water

You may chop the veggies and mix the rest in by hand or use a food processor, beginning with chopping the veggies first and then added the other ingredients.

Knead for a minute or two, roll to about 3/8 ths of an inch, cut into whatever shape you like, and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 25 minutes, turning once. 

Next week I'll have a recipe called Bailey's Biscuits courtesy of my sister Dorothy.

In good (doggie) health,

Patty
