Minnie's Mom's Dog Biscuits

Dog Biscuits 


Luna and Dad have lots of friends at the local dog park.  Not long ago, "Minnies's mom" was handing out small bags of home baked dog biscuits.  She had made them to sell at a fundraiser and was giving samples to friends at the dog park.  Luna didn't care for the spinach one but loved the pumpkin and peanut butter flavors.  Since some of you have dogs or, just in case you need something to sell at a fundraiser or give to friends that own dogs, Luna is sharing the recipes with you.  With Christmas on its way, it might be a hint for Dena to bake her some.  With dogs, one never quite knows their motive!  By the way, humans at the dog park seem to like these, too (They claimed to just be sampling to see what they were giving their dogs - yeah - right!).

  1. Hummm, Luna's making hints now, is she? Well, Santa Dena hasn't made her mind up on what all will be coming down for Christmas, so she's in luck! Her request is noted!
