Gifts From the Heart

The holidays are almost here and a lot of you may be stressing about time, money, commitments and a lot of other things.

Hopefully I can help a little. If you have 20 minutes, you can mix up some simple dog treats and pop them in the oven to bake while you do other things. (Make dinner for the family maybe?)

After those treats have cooled, you can wrap them in festive colored saran wrap and tie with curly ribbon.

Or, you can put them in plastic containers and put a bow on top.

Either way, in under an hour you can whip up gifts for many of the people in your life. Who might enjoy treats for the pup? The postman, your hairdresser, your children’s teachers, co-workers, your neighbors?

In many cases this sweet but simple gift can show your acknowledgement of the help they provide throughout the year without overburdening them with something else they may or may not be able to use.

You can include a little note (Gingerbread for Fido) or something to that effect. (You will want them to know they’re for the four legged members of the household).

Think about baking some gifts! It doesn’t take long to do and can save you money and show your creativity at the same time. Even more fun, you can get the kids to help too!

You could also create a basket of treats with a couple of cookie cutters and a Dog Treat Cookbook too.

Reader’s Write

This month I’m providing a quick summary of a popular question.

I get a lot of email asking me how long the treats will last. I’m going to have to do a better job of sharing that information on the site.

The truth is, there isn’t one answer to this question.

Just remember, drier treats will last longer. Treats rolled out thin and baked until nearly brittle will last up to 2 months.

Moist treats like the apple cinnamon pupcakes won’t last as long. You can count on a week or so in the refrigerator.

All of the treats freeze well.

Gingerbread Dog Treats

You can make these plain or fancy. You can choose your cookie cutter and dress them up or just make circles with the mouth of the glass. They'll taste the same and the dog's will love them! Gingerbread Dog Treats
