Puppy Pumpkin Hush Puppies

While this might officially make me a crazy pet person, I baked up a batch of pumpkin dog treats this morning.


Don't they look like little orange hush puppies? These are a low fat treat and are said to be kind to dog's bellies, so it sounded like the perfect treat for Nola, who is staying with us while Molly and Jerry go on their honeymoon. Nola and Asta loved them, as usual Oso was too cool for a treat we shared with the other dogs. But Nola and Asta followed me around for a half hour begging for more by moving from spot to spot and sitting next to each other, hoping their good behaviour, the sitting, would make me so happy that I would continue to give them the treats. Mom and I tried one. They would actually be very tasty for humans if you added just a touch of sugar and a few more spices. Yum.



You can find the recipe and over 100 more dog treats in The Organic Dog Biscuit Book.
