As soon as he was safely out of the driveway I brought up my Pinterest boards.
A whole day to experiment sans audience/assistance! Now all you science types muttering that experiments are collaborative, don't hate. In a lab no one is saying, "Why the heck are you bothering to make cookies into shapes FOR THE DOG??" accompanied by head-shaking and falling-down-on-the-floor laughter.
Yes, off to my Pinterest board called "For My Dog". Obvious names can be useful. I had no problem finding that website from months ago called The Top Ten Homemade Dog Treat Recipes. A doglover called Turtlewoman generously shared her recipes on Hub Pages: click here to see her page.
I selected the Kiss Me Cookies. (I'm hoping they work on dog breath as advertised.) I made a half batch for the simple reason that I only had one egg in the house. I thought I had nonfat dry milk; when I discovered I didn't, I substituted unsweetened almond milk for the water.

| Before mixing - I loved being able to run outside for fresh parsley! |

| I don't have dog cookie cutters so shamrocks will have to do. I don't think Toby will mind. Incidentally, this dough was some of the easiest to roll and cut that I've ever used. Mixing the dough with hands would be great fun for the grandkids! |
 |
| Turns out I had an audience the entire time after all! |
Just kidding - this took a lot longer than 30 min. I have a whole stack of old National Geographic maps to play with.

That was great! Thank you for the giggles!
Enjoy Toby!
Toby waited patiently. I bet it smells good because of the parsley. Happy Tasty Tuesday. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
I think Toby is your sous chef. I get you on Pinterest - one of my addictive pleasures! The lamp looks amazing.

Looks SOOOOOO good! Thanks for popping over and giving us some great tips! Toby is just adorable! Xo Jeanne, Chloe and LadyBug
I see Bunny frantically waving at me to write this one down and pin it for future trial!
I love that you waited for hubby to be gone so you could do the experiment. Perhaps you need to come up with a list you need him to run out for from time to time!
They look great! I'm sure the dogs don't care if they are shaped like shamrocks anyways. Parsley is supposed to be a natural breath freshener.
They look delicious! It's so nice of Toby to help you.
They look yummy, will have to try those!
So I'm guessing Toby like the treats?? They look like flat little shamrock shaped turkey meatballs (which makes me want turkey meatballs!!). :)
I try not to get too sucked into Pinterest, because I know I'd spend entirely too much time on the projects (or just "Pinning" things all day).
Love that idea for the lamp!

I love the map lamp!!!! Now I have to find it on your pinterest so I can make one myself!!!
