Nutrition and Allergies

I've received quite a few requests for allergen-free products. I do have treats that contain ingredients that are somewhat accessible for those poor allergic dogs such as Beggin for Bananas. It's got oats but no corn, no egg.

I'm trying. Really. I have experimented with some treats to try to create a completely gluten/egg/milk-free treat but it turns out to burn badly or not be palatable to Katie. I would show you the photos of those treats but it's simply not something I want to show and honestly wish I hadn't seen them myself! Blech. Katie just wanders in to check out what I'm doing periodically. Sometimes she lays down on the floor and just watches me mixing and rolling dough. She will oftentimes creep very quietly over to the cooling area and lie under the trays of treats while they are cooling. I know she is waiting for the day that one of those trays miraculously falls off and she gets showered with treats. Dogs do dream too.

Cold Cereal

I had the idea to create a cereal for dogs but then I remembered that their dogfood actually does resemble cereal already. Oops.

Pawps

Then I got the idea to create some big treats that could be like a "big cookie." I haven't got the right cutter for that but it's coming.

Birthday Bash!

Wow. I'm getting cramps from doing the writing on these cakes. I like the decorating part but is there no better way to write on a cake? I've explored the different decorator guns that resemble those crazy rayguns that the alien invaders in those crazy sci-fi movies carried. They actually look like a caulking gun. I might regrout my bathroom this weekend so perhaps I will practice some writing with caulk and see how things go.
