Big birthday wishes to you, my sweet Miss Daisy! You will always be my favorite chocolate chunk!
Here's a great recipe for homemade, healthy dog treats if you're interested!
Sweet Miss Daisy *Hearts* Cookies (for dogs)
2 cups Whole Wheat flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 TBS Honey
1 Egg
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
1/2 cup Milk (soy, rice, goat, or fat free cow)
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, baking powder and garlic powder together in a mixing bowl. Stir in honey, egg, oil and milk. (I just use a fork for all the mixing and it works great!) The dough will be somewhat dry, but it will stick together.
On a wheat floured surface, knead the dough 10-15 times. Pat into nicely shaped ball and roll out onto cutting surface 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut shapes (we recommend HEARTS), or cut into 1.5" squares. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 15 minutes. Let cool on the sheet. Serve one cookie to all dogs, and store remaining cookies in an airtight container.
All the dogs on the farm give these cookies TWO PAWS UP! WOOF!
Gorgeous Miss Daisy!
Also, I finally have my Take Ten magazine & I TOTALLY love your cards! Love everything about them, and especially the blues and greens you did them in! Wonderful cards and it was such a treat to see them!
Congrats to you!

Happy Birthday Sweet Miss Daisy. Enjoy those cookies. I will give them a try for my very spoiled 8 year old springer spaniel.

Happy Birthday Miss Daisy! I haven't made my family cookies is a while...so I'd better not start making dog cookies or I'll be in big trouble! Better tuck this recipe away for a rainy day...

What a sweet girl! I'm going to try the biscuit recipe tonight for my pooch, "Brody." He is also 9 years old, and his golden retriever face is developing the white mask. No arthritis or anything yet - and he still has quite the appetite for cookies! :-)

Happy Birthday, Miss Daisy, from Zane and Harley (we are both 11) and Jazz and Cubby (we are both 4). We are cats, but we like dogs (that don't bite us). Do you like cats? We would bring you a cake but Texas is a long way from Minneapolis.
