''The Hattons' and Milles' dine here today - & I shall eat Ice and drink French wine and be above Vulgar Economy''

I think I'll reserve the French wine for myself, but the Ice can be for the dogs.
We had fun making various frozen treats, and the dogs had fun trying them out. The favourite so far has been sardine and mixed veg. We just mashed the tinned sardines in a jug, topped up with water, poured into disposable plastic drinking cups, chucked in a handful of frozen mxed veg, then put in the freezer for a few hours then removed from the cup and put on a dish. Mirabelle decided hers tasted better in the grass, so Nelly went to join her. Odo sat under the garden bench out of everyones way and delighted in licking it until it dissapeared. Even Lulu who is a hoover around food, managed to make hers last for around 15 minutes!

Kongs are a brilliant way to offer cooling treats too, just bung up the end with cheese or peanut butter, then fill with some tasty chicken or fish stock and freeze. I personally don't give the dogs
ice-cream, far too much sugar in it for my liking, but that doesn't mean the children haven't!!!!
