Tasty Thursday - Phod's Birthday Treats - by Lee

 Dear pals,

Last Saturday, Lady and I set out to make Phod some bake-a-bone cookies. As you saw on Monday, he wasn't the best behaved dog on his birthday and then on Saturday, in a 45 second period while Man was explaining 'again' to Lady on how to work the generator in case she is home alone and needs it, Phod came back covered in turkey poop. This landed him in the shower with the Man.

Let's get baking!

I thought given that things were not coming up Phody, we should make him some treats.

Lady picked a beef and oat recipe from the book. She put all the things together under my supervision.

Lady needs close supervision in the kitchen.

Every 8 minutes for the next half hour or so, I made sure she took out the cooked ones and put in batter for new ones. We made 20 cookies in the end, some we will have to freeze as for some reason Lady said that was too many to eat in a short period of time. 

After 87 million years, some of the first batch were ready to eat.

Let's eat!

I thought since I helped, I should get the first cookie, but I had to wait for Phod. 



He did what he always does with new treats, assumes they are poison (in his defence, there was one time he was offered a marshmallow and he is terrified of new treats ever since), and took it away to check it out. 

New treats need to be tried here, to make sure they are safe.

After a good sniff, he decided to try them and he loved them.


I loved them more.


The best, helpful sister, Lee

  1. Lee, I assume that mean you *get* more! Girls can always reason their way around boys (except, I agree, with Lady, about generators)!

    To be fair, Lee, you at least snoopervised all contents of those bikkits - Phoddy needed to do all the appropriate sniff testing for 'wrong' substances!!! But well done, gal-dog. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
