Rufnit Ulysses aka Max

Well, it seems that we will soon be moving to our little farm in East/ Middle TN. And Maxie LOVES it - I'm just hoping that it isn't the goose and chicken poo that he loves...

Maxie will have a nice sized, very safe backyard to run and romp and play, as well as being allowed inside plenty. I suppose the good thing about having no human kiddos means that we can spoil Max and the other animals to come!

So then, goats and chickens, perhaps cows/ bulls? Email me and let me know if you have sage words for me. Oh, wait... not Sage flyrods - we have those handled....

Scooby Snacks! Cheddar Dog Treats!

A very easy recipe for homemade puppy treats - Max goes wild for them. They last about a month in a sealed container at room temp - will last for two months if you keep in the fridge.

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tbsp butter

3/4 cup milk

Grated Parm for topping

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Put flours and cheese in food processor. Pulse to mix. Add butter and milk. Mix well. Turn out on to floured surface and roll out to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness. Poke with tines of fork and sprinkle Parm. Cut dough with cookie cutter. Place on baking sheet covered with greased or non stick foil. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack. Your dog will love you.

For those Ertsgaards, Haugens, and other Norwegian/ Scandinavian types: use the lefse rolling pin for these treats. The dough rolls quickly and the texture of the pin allows the treats to bake quite nicely and makes a crispy scooby snack.

Next post will be the pupsicle recipe - a COLD summer treat!
