Homemade Treats for Pups and Persons


I found this little gem on Lifehacker - homemade puppy treats! Lifehacker has the following introduction:



"If homemade dog treats sound appealing because of the questionable nature
of pet food manufacturing, or you just want to build a better dog biscuit, then
this tutorial is for you.
Even if you don't consider yourself a master-class
chef, making your own dog biscuits is a very forgiving undertaking. When your
principle consumer is a creature not above eating road kill, you'll be quickly
forgiven for burning it a little in the oven."


The recipe is found at Craftzine, where the author assures you that this is something both you and your pet can eat. I mean all the ingredients are things people normally eat anyway. Predictably, I wasn't blown away by the taste, but it was a bonding experience to be eating the same thing as my adorable pup. And she loved them! Hopefully it was because she could taste the love I baked them with :).

I wanted to do the liver treats too, however, I still can't find a place that sells liver. Even though I don't have a dehydrator, I figured I can just use the oven on a low setting. Get the recipes here.

Perfume for Your Pup


This is definitely not something I would usually think of buying. However, when I got my puppy, she came with $50 worth of accessories and supplies. I decided to get the Therapet Aquolina Pink Sugar type pet cologne, almost as a joke. It's supposed to smell like the real Aquolina Pink Sugar perfume. The tagline on the bottle is "A sophisticated scent for the pampered pet." I think it's more for me than for her, but I still loves it! I was suprised that it made Chloe smell soooooooooooo wonderful! It really makes a difference.


I found it at Dog.com for $3.99. At first I was pissed because I had redeemed it for $7.99 when I got Chloe. However, now I'm happy that if I need to buy more it will be cheaper!
