When You Bake Up the Dog Treats

Don't Leave 'em So Wet

Or...the Wearin' o' the Green

OK, let’s say that some Sunday afternoon you make a double batch of natural-ingredient dog treats.  Let us also say that you slightly undercook them so they remain chewy (old dog).  Let us further say that after setting aside a few for your best friend, your grand-dog and his house guest, and some for the vet  you stash ALL THE REST in 70’s Tupperware with a tight-fitting lid.

DON’T.  Who knew that on the stroke of Day 7 the dog bones concocted of whole wheat flour, rolled oats, peanut butter, a splash of olive oil, a touch of honey and hints of homemade apple butter, garden mint and cinnamon would grow their own furry green coats? Not your average shade of Mold Green, either, but really quite a lovely shade. 

AND YET - I, the lover of all thing green, recoiled in horror.

I have yet to check with the vet but am so hoping he distributed them to his patients upon receipt. I believe the odds are in my favor because he was saying “Oh, these smell good!” as he exited the exam room.  My friend’s dogs ate them within hours.  Grand-dog and guest survived. 

And so I leave you with two words:  FRIDGE and FREEZER.
