Lia: She keeps talking about wanting a clothes line this year. I hope this is it.

Zoe: Why?

Lia: Look!!! Doesn't this look like fun? Four new friends to play with!

Zoe: Four pups to eat your food and take your toys.

Lia: Your a "bowl's half-empty" kinda girl.

Zoe: Well, they'll have YOUR food and YOUR TOYS.

Lia: Ok, maybe two of them is enough - one for me and one for you!!!

IF A DOG were your Teacher ~

These are some of the lessons you might learn...

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your faceto be pure ecstasy

When it's in your best interest
practice obedience

Let others know when they've invaded your territory

Take naps and stretch before rising

Run romp and play daily

Thrive on attention and let people touch you
Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do

On warm days stop to lie on your back on the grass

On hot days drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree

When you're happy dance around and wag your entire body

No matter how often you're scoldeddon't buy into the guilt thing and pout;Run right back and make friends

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm

Stop when you have had enough

Be loyal

Never pretend to be something you're not

If what you want lies buried

dig until you find it

When someone is having a bad daybe silent .....

...sit close by.
...and nuzzle them gently.

Peanut Butter + Pumpkin Dog Treats

• 2 1/2 C whole wheat flour
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 C pumpkin puree
• 3 Tbsp all-natural peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place all ingredients in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, use your paddle attachment. Mix on low for about a minute or until the dough starts to come together. It won’t be one big ball yet, but a bunch of smaller ones. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Work it together into a large ball, then roll it out to about 1/4″ thickness. You can use a cookie cutter for shapes or a knife to cut strips. (I used a 1″ 2-sided biscuit cutter.) Roll out the scraps again and again until there’s not enough dough left to work with. Place the treats on a baking sheet lightly coated with cooking spray. They don’t expand, so 1/2″ between treats is enough. Bake 30 minutes. Let cool completely. Makes 75+ 1″ treats.
