Gold Paws & News (11/10/09)

GOLD PAWS!

Gold paws go to Animal House petstore in St. Petersburg, FL for their recent decision to stop selling puppies and kittens.  Instead, rescue organizations are invited to bring adoptable pets on weekends so they can be placed in forever homes.
 
Show your support for this brave and humane decision and visit the store for your pet related needs!

Here's a recipe for Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits You Can Make at Home

Ingredients

  • 3 cups oat flour
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • water, enough to moisten

Directions

Mix ingredients together well. Form into a ball, roll out to 1/4 inch thickness with a rolling pin. Cut into desired shapes, place on cookie sheets and bake in 325 oven for 30 minutes, or until browned. Turn off oven, leaving biscuits in the oven until cooled. These biscuits may be frozen, but keep well for a couple of weeks if they are very dry and crisp.
