Brian's parents lost one of their own Shelties, Holly, Saturday afternoon. A complete accident, just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but it made us appreciate our guys that much more.
So they got attention, pats and rubs. Lots of rubs. And treats. Lots of treats. Cantaloupe, Greenies, and these super easy, two-ingredient treats I whipped up after a quick trip to the grocery story.
They had kind a weird texture (full disclosure: I tried one) - a little spongy in the middle, but that didn't deter the boys at all. I made them in two batches - 1 jar of baby food and 1 cup of flour for each - so I could try different flavors. The boys seemed to equally like sweet potato and pears; I'll be curious to try others. Hopefully they'll be this excited next time!
- 2 4-oz. jars of baby food
- 2 C whole wheat flour
- Preheat oven to 350° and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix baby food and flour together to form a stiff dough. If necessary, add extra flour or water as needed.
- Pull off evenly sized pieces of dough and form in your hands into a ball.
- Place on cookie sheet then flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass or your fingers. (These cooked up better than the ones I left in balls.)
- Place treats about 1/2 inch apart. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely before storing in a paper bag (storing in an air-tight container will make them soft, but they're still edible).

| Holly, our sweet little girl. Sue adopted Holly this past November for Kevin's birthday. She fit right in, right from the start, and loved her family and big "sister" Roxy. Here she is in one of her favorite places: the kitchen at the house on Plum Island! She was barking up the wrong tree if she thought I was going to give her any human food, but she was almost cute enough the wear me down! |
