W.W. – National Dog Biscuit Day

For those of you who have a dog in your life, spoil them rotten today. I miss my Rommie, my golden girl.

Also for those of you who do not have dogs, this quote is the truth. Those of you who do have dogs already know this wisdom.

 “If you think dogs can’t count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him only two of them.”

Author Phil Pastoret

Below is a favorite recipe of Rommie’s. Oh and there is no reason you can’t eat it either.

So enjoy with a furry friend today!

I originally found this recipe in either Your Dog or The Whole Dog Journal as those were the magazines I subscribed to when Rommie adopted Joe and me.
