Our Church’s youth Sunday school teacher has a field trip to the local veterinary hospital planned for her class this week.
In preparation for the field trip her class made dog biscuits from a recipe she got online from http://www.dltk-bible.com/recipes/dogbiscuits.htm .
Since I am currently off work, unable to do much, and extremely bored I thought I’d try making a batch myself.

May sound crazy but we just finished Noah and we actually made dog biscuits in the kitchen workshop. We donated them to a local stray shelter. Mission and fun. The kids loved it.
Stir all dry ingredients together. Add egg and then slowly stir in water with wooden spoon. Dough needs to be stiff.
Knead until smooth texture. Roll out 1/4 inch thick (helps if top and bottom are floured) and cut out with bone cookie cutters you can get at the pet shop. Some kids liked cutting their own shape with a butter knife instead of using a cookie cutter.
Lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 45min-1hr.
Turn the oven off and then leave them overnight to let harden. Store in plastic ziploc bags.
The whole process was quite easy.
I was unable to locate a cookie cutter so I used a small can to make the biscuits.
The recipe made 2 ½ dozen cookies and I made a couple of twists with the leftovers.
My wife came in shortly after I took them out of the oven to cool (I did not leave them in the oven over night), she really thought they smelled great.
To add insult to my injury she told me she preferred the smell of the dog biscuits to the smell of all that smoking I’d been doing.
Now that’s really for the dogs!
