I have been very lucky in my life to have grown up with pets.  We have always had a dog or two, and even a cat or two.  It is a love that it very unique, and that grows over time.  Our furry kids do truly become a huge part of our lives.  Our Lucy even became part of our engagement & she will be a part of our wedding day too!!!

Lucy Lu, as I call her is a loving golden retriever who never gets tired of a belly rub or walks or play time.  And she NEVER gets tired of treats!!!!  She is always very happy to see us—whether I get home from work at 4 am, or whether Glen is tired from a long day—she is there waiting with a toy in her mouth and her paw in the air—talk about unconditional love! 

I wanted to make something special for our girl for National Love Your Pet Day!  So I decided to make her some homemade treats, organic & no junk!!  A while ago I found  this “Organic dog biscuit cookbook kit” at a yard sale for $2!!!  I felt like I had found treasure!!    It contains many great recipes & it even came with three cookie cutters shaped like- a bone, a fire hydrant & a squirrel!   Adorable!!

I chose this recipe- “Snickerdoodle poodle-poos” to make for Lucy.  These are drop cookies, and boy did our home smell wonderful while they were baking! 

Here is the recipe for you-

1 1/2 cups of oat flour

1 1/2cups of brown rice flour

2 tsp cinnamon

1 egg

¼ cup honey

1 tsp vanilla

2/3 cup of water

{Preheat oven to 375 degree.  Mix all of the ingredients together, thoroughly in a large bowl}

{Spoon mixture & roll into 1” balls.  Place on an ungreased cookie sheet & using a fork press the cookie down—they won’t “grow” during baking}

{Bake for approximately 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown.  Let cool at room temperature & store in a container at room temperature}

{Lucy could not wait for them to cool down, so she could try one.  To be honest, I tried it too—it was a little dry for my taste, but Lucy loves them!!!}

{After a long day or at work it is so nice to come home to snuggle with our girl & each other!  Enjoy Love your Pet Day, I know we will!!}
