My friend recently found out that her Great Dane has a terminal condition where he will slowly lose control of his limbs until he can no longer move. That's obviously not the technical description, but basically what I understood from reading the information she sent me. The same friend had recently given me a cookbook of organic dog biscuits so I asked her what his favorite flavor would be. She knew Peanut Butter would be his absolute favorite so I went to the cookbook and found two recipes that called for peanut butter. Puppy Dog Eyes was the winner!
I had the flours from a previous recipe. It calls for Oat Flour and Brown Rice Flour which I found at the local Giant Food Store.
It also calls for unsalted peanut butter which I easily found at Redners (a local grocery store).
The ingredient that I couldn't find at my local store was the Carob Chips, but I didn't think they were necessary. According to the internet Walmart carries them, but I wasn't making another stop, so no Carob Chips in my cookies.
I rolled them into balls, but instead of denting them with my thumb for the Carob Chips, I used a fork to flatten them like regular Peanut Butter Cookies for people!
My dog Tennessee loved them, so I'm sure his best friend Spot will also enjoy them.
A couple pictures of Tenny and Spotty together. Tenny stayed the weekend at Spotty's house when we went to an out-of-town wedding. Spotty's mommy sent us pictures throughout the weekend letting us know that they were having a great time together. Tennessee is an 18 pound Chihuahua Mix; we're really not sure what he's mixed with. Spot is a 150 pound Great Dane who was rescued from an abusive home. They love to play together, Tenny running circles around Spot. :)
