Quite a few events have happened since the puppies arrived, but we have been focusing on the blog, mainly on updates of the pups, and not of the older dogs. Well, now we are back to usual since Marcel left us yesterday for his new home,, and we can catch up with some older news. A couple of weeks ago it was Odo's fourth birthday, he celebrated by going out with us on one of his favourite walks, and coming home to his birthday cake, which he happily shared with his little pups.
I don't tend to buy any treats for the dogs, I make most of them myself, it works out alot cheaper, and you know exactly what they are eating. The cake here was two home made liver cakes, sandwiched together with chicken broth, iced with probiotic yoghourt, and decorated with sliced cooked beef cut into bone shapes, and some shop bought Bonio's around the edge (Lulu loves these). The pups had some of the yoghourt, and beef, and some of the liver cake....recipe for it at the end, it is a great training treat, and you find that they will do almost anything to get some.
Liver Cake Recipe
If in doubt about using wheat flour, replace with potato flour.
8 oz liver, any type
4 oz flour
1 tbsp oil
2 eggs and shells
2 cloves garlic
Blitz everything together in a food blender until it is a smooth batter, pour into either a swiss roll tin, or 2 sandwich tins, bake at Gas 4 for about 30 mins, should be firm to the touch when ready. cut into small pieces, and freeze what you dont need.
You now have one of the best food treats your dogs will ever want.
