Pupsicles

Living in a sub-tropical climate, naturally it is usually pretty warm in our neck of the woods. After the day heats up and we have worked up a thirst barking at neighbors and hunting geckos, a cool-down treat is in order. Our Golden Retrievers fight the battle of the bulge like so many of us do, so usually we try for low-fat. Often we serve Pupsicles, chicken broth frozen in small plastic cups or paper cups. When that gets boring, we may mix in some tomato sauce. All depends on what your dog likes.

Our hurdle is usually the container. Molly now enjoys cracking the plastic cups to the point where they can't hold broth. Both Jessie and Molly consider paper a food, so muffin wrappers are downed along with the Pupsicle.

Our dogs love peanut butter. They could happily live on it completely, but on a daily basis too fattening. For celebrations or a special Pupsicle, here is a recipe from the poop pantry for Frozen Peanut Butter Yogurt Treats:

1-32oz. container of vanilla yogurt
1 cup of peanut butter

1. Put the peanut butter in a microwave safe dish and microwave until melted.
2. Mix the yogurt and the melted peanut butter in a bowl.
3. Pour mixture into cupcake papers and freeze
