Thanksgiving is coming up, a time to give thanks for our blessings, like for our furry pets. Faithful, friendly and fun dogs and cats make life easier, gentler, in a loving sort of way. So as this holiday rolls around, bake up some tasty Thanksgiving treats!
Reminder: take along some dog seat covers when traveling by car. Protect your vehicle investment!
Basic Beef or Crunchy Chicken Biscuits
2 eggs
2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 cup hot water
4 cups all purpose or whole wheat flour
2 cup cornmeal
1/2cup wheat germ
4 teaspoon chicken or beef bouillon powder
1 teaspoon yeast extract
Instructions:
Preheat over to 275 degrees. In a small bowl, mix the eggs, oil and water. Set to the side. In a large bowl, mix above remaining dry ingredients. When mixed well, add small bowl of contents and stir well.
On a well-floured surface, take the dough and roll it out. Use holiday cookie cutters to cut out shaped biscuits, placing them on ungreased cooking sheets. Bake on center rack until hard and dry, about 2 hours. Allow to cool and dry overnight. Makes plenty for your neighbors' dogs, too.
Fun Times
Don't just stuff yourselves during the holiday period. Get out and enjoy the wonder Fall season. Here are some ideas on what to play with your dog:
1) Hide and Seek - use high piles of leaves, if possible!
2) Leaf romps - after you're done hiding in the leaves, play in them - tossing them, throwing them in a fun way at your dog, rolling in them, etc. Remember to re-rake them when you're finished playing!
3) Catch with any fun ball or Frisbee.
4) Walking around the neighborhood.
5) Visiting others with pets do dogs can mingle and socialize, too.
Enjoy a happy Thanksgiving every day with your beloved pet. Remember when all is said and done, to enjoy some equality R&R (rest and relaxation) time with your dog on nice, snug dog blankets with plenty of hugs.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!
