Max gets all the glory in this section, so Harper has decided that she wants to be like her ‘mommy’ and do a little cooking for the furbabies in our area.  She decided to give them a great tasting way to cool off during these doggie days. And then there is the peanut butter (Wooooof!) - she couldn’t help herself, she ‘tasted’ four of these right out of the oven!

Notes for ‘Hoomans’:  Our taste testers really got into the Peanut Butter treats, but the frozen - not as much until they melted a little, then they licked them up!  You might want to consider where you give them the frozen treats - make sure it’s someplace that you don’t mind having a puddle that they will lick up!
