Yummy Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Treats

Oh yes I got very creative another day. hahaha Ya know Dog treats are so spendy in the stores now days and so I decided I was going to make some healthy ones for my Rusty dog. So I did and I will give you the recipe too. Let me say this OK, well I doubled the recipe and oh man do we ever have a supply now! *laughing* but that is OK we will have them for awhile, plus our Dog friends are going to get a baggie full of them too. :-) I had a lot of fun making these, yes you will see they are even fit for a person to eat them too. *laughing* But I wouldn't sit and munch on them all day *laugh* It is up to you hahahaha


Peanut Butter Dog Treats

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour, or as needed
• 2 cups spelt flour
• 2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
• 1/4 cup flax seeds
• 2 1/2 cups warm water
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter

Rusty waiting for something to drop on the floor and he managed to get a few pieces. hahaha

Knead it to it isn't sticky.

I don't have cookie cutters so I used what I could-I used the flashlight ring and it made the small treats just great!

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Combine wheat flour, spelt flour, oats, and flax seeds in large bowl. Stir in water and peanut butter. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, mixing in more flour as needed until dough is smooth and no longer sticky. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut with small cookie cutters into desired shapes, and place 3/4 inch apart on greased cookie sheets.
3. Bake 40 minutes. Turn oven off; leave biscuits in oven until completely cool.

We have plenty ya think!! We now have a happy puppy, he has been without his treats for a week :( Poor guy!!

Ahhhh that was good. Thank You Mama!

The Next Snoopy and The Red Baron!

Fall sets in the North Central States (Northwest Wisconsin):

I will keep this very short because after our ATV trip yesterday my right hand,wrist,arm, well my whole body is ajarred! Talk about exerise! Wow you move every muscles and bone in your body that's for sure!

First I need to clear the air here before I go any further...
Someone said to me one day that "if you are disabled you shouldn't be going atv'ing, snowmobiling, bicycling, and more activities like this." Ummmm wait a minute here! Who said that people like me are dead! We are still living here on earth ya know! We are human beings sometimes we pay for the play we did! Life goes on! Since when are you a professional Medical Doctor. If fact when are you MY Doctor? No I do not push a vaccum cleaner, no I do not do housework, no I do not wash dishes or do the laundry, no I do not rake the yard let alone do anything like that or more because those things I have been told not to do them by my MD and my specialists. But ATV'ing and those few other things I have been told by each one of them..try things and if they bother you as you are doing them, then by all means "Don't do them again, you have to know your boundaries and if you don't do them how are you going to find out if you don't." I even had a couple of docs say well at least you are getting some form of exercise. So please people if you think I shouldn't be doing what I have been doing all summer long and you are siitting behind your little desk and judging me for the things that I do, please don't because you have no idea what it is like to be in my shoes. I do what I can, when I can, when I am able to do them. These things only happen on my good days and my husband has to basically force me to get out of house so that I can be happy again. I don't want to hear it from any of you because you think I shouldn't be disabled and that I can go to work. My doctor knows all about me and what I have tried and what I haven't, I am under great medical care and your medical expertise is not needed. Yes sometimes I pay for what I do, like yesterday it was way to long on my ATV, so I learn make shorter trips or just don't do it at all. But guess what I am not giving up something that I love to do just because someone doesn't think I should be doing it, I go with what my body allows..that now is short trips because I will not give up my atv experiences. Please don't judge - we all struggle with our own health problems in our own ways. You have your own and I have my own. I deal with what I can and when I can.

Now on with my week & weekend:

I believe this is going to be our last beautiful warm weather week up here in the Northwest Wisconsin woods! What a wonderful week we have had! VERY NICE! The weather sure was Great! With temps from High 60's to 81 Degrees! Thank you Lord Jesus! We were sure blessed this week and weekend. So here I sit and work on my blog on a nice day outside already. 63 degrees it says here on my weatherbug stat on my MacBook Laptop and it will go up higher yet this afternoon. I hate to see it get colder, it is suppose to go down starting the middle of this week. Ugh - wellw e will have to take it as it comes that is for sure. The leaves on the trees are sure full of colors!! The popul trees in our backyard have practically no leaves on them (messy trees). That is something we sure didn't miss in AZ is the messy trees. thank goodness Don don't have to rake the leaves here! The Landlords are suppose to be doing that all, just like they shovel and plow the snow in the winter. (Maintenance free-you can't beat that.)

Good memory to remember:

I remember when I was a young gal and my Grandma & pa would take one of us kids each sunday to go out to eat with them after church. I remember going to Lake Geneva at some place to eat lunch. Then afterwards I remember Grandpa would drive down the Rustic Roads so Grandma & I could see the beautiful colors of fall on the trees. Grandma said Jesus was Painting the trees. I am so thankful that I had Grandparents that took the time to be with each one of us kids every sunday afternoon. I love them, right now they are up in heaven watching over each one of us kids. :-)

Now the Weekend Fun:

Don made a box for Rusty to sit in on the back of my ATV. We thought if this Amazing Wonder Dog could ride down on a river on a innertube, then he could do anything as long as he was by his Mama. Ok we now have a Official Red Barron Dog - do you remember Snoopy & Woodstock on the Peanuts? Well that is now Rusty! lol We just need to find doggie goggles and a Snoopy Red Barron hat for him. :-) Look for one on the internet for us if you find something let me us know. So here is that wonderful amazing wonder dog of mine!(Will tell the story under the photos now- if you want to see them enlarged for a better view click on the photos and it will make them bigger.) 

My Handsome Wonder Dog!

Do you remember this clip?

I love the Peanuts!

I am ready to go Mama!

The Golden Trail because of the trees (Actually it is called the Wild River Trail)

Rusty the Amazing Wonder Dog hits the spot light on this Blog this time!

We were half way to Birchwood when this was taken.

WOW the wind was strong today!

I Love this photo!(above)

Nose trouble

Beautiful isn't it! This caught my eye before we headed to Birchwood. So on the way back I just had to stop to take this photo! (Near Haugen WI.)

The Birches

Giving Rusty time off the ATV.

That WIND was strong today! Every time Rusty sat up it was like he was a parasail.LOL It blew us everywhere and it was a fight! 

But we made it through :-) 

Rusty is a 

AMAZING WONDER DOG!

I wonder what he is going to do next??

Dog Park Day!

I am going to get a break today!!

Well it is one of those days when Rusty has worked hard enough for me for the day. He has a BIG responsibility to make sure I don't fall, have PTSD attacks, Anxiety attacks and more. He has even picked up on another thing which I am so happy about. He is a Fantastic Service Dog for me. I my Rusty so much!

Every so often he needs time to be free to be himself in his dog world. So what do we do? We take him to the DOG PARK. Rice Lake has a beautiful Dog Park and the Girlscouts of America made the filed behind Best Western Hotel and Kmart a really nice place for the dogs to run around in, with their owners right there with them.

Every so often we take Rusty to the DOG PARK. Yep he has had all his shots to be able to go there and enjoy life in the dog world with other Doggies too. NO CATS ALLOWED!!

Yep NO CATS ALLOWED!!

Rusty is funny!! We could be just going to town and even if we don't go there that day, when we drive by that area he perks right up and looks around outside the truck windows. It is like he senses it is near and then he starts freaking out barking and wagging his tail and more. There was even one time this weekend he looked out the back window of the truck and stared off to the left towards where it would be and like pouted because we weren't going there at that time. But oh boy if we pull into the drive to go there he is like a little kid in a candy store. He wags his tail and starts doing a dance in the back seat of my truck. He even starts singing *laughing*. He won't even hold still enough to get his leash on even. Rusty and his Happy Dances!

That looks like my buddy "Lucky" from AZ! But it's not Lucky :(

This guy loved my Mama and he went by her all 

the time when he came around the circle with his Masters. 

Oh My Gosh what is that Black 

puff ball coming this way?!?!

Watch out Mama!!

This HUGE Labadoodle behind 

me has a mean streak in him

and I don't don't care for him at all!

Ok Mama & Daddy close is clear! 

Those Dogs are gone for a moment, 

so lets play toss the lease and I will 

go get it and bring it back to you, 

then you can throw it again ok? 

Here I come Mama!

Oh no I think they are coming back Mama!

I love to shake things back and forth just like my 

buddy "Mike" (Dog) did in Arizona!

I am so happy!

Come on Mama throw it one more 

time before the others get back!

Ohhhh I guess you are 

right Mama they are BACK!!!

Meet my friend "Meiko" 

She is a Husky mix and just a pup too!

I see Meiko a lot at the Dog Park 

and we run and play a lot.

Then sometimes there comes that 

time when one gets to excited

and the owners have to keep up 

after us. Mama & Daddy always 

hates this part LOL

So after I made a present for Mama 

I have decided to take a walk with my papa, 

because she didn't look happy! LOL

This park has a nice rocky trail for our Masters 

to walk on too and benches everywhere.

Running running!

I have to get where the action is!

So your the other one that loves my Mama!

Gotta run with the Big Dogs

Your cute! 

I wish you wouldn't jump on my Mama 

like that she might fall over!

Hey Sweety your Master is calling you!!

(White dog is a female Scottish Terrier)

Playing ball with my Papa

That is a really neat toy that Mama 

bought for me to play with. 

Mama doesn't have to hurt her 

arms to toss the ball for me.

It is called a "Chuck it" 

Mama throw the ball! 

Here is the FANTASTIC Toy we bought for Rusty!!

A Must for every dog that loves to play fetch!

Caught the ball in the air with my camera!
