Cookie Day in Grandpa's Kitchen, and Someone Has Flour on His Nose

AI imagedalmatianbakingkitchen

Flour is everywhere, and it's clear that someone has been investigating the baking supplies. Domino rests his chin at the edge of the counter, a dusting of white powder on his black nose and spotted muzzle, gazing up with deep, hopeful eyes. Grandpa, sleeves rolled up under his fishing vest, carefully places scoops of cookie dough onto a well-used baking sheet, a fond smile beneath his white mustache. Behind them, a big glass jar of flour, a mixing bowl, a pair of reading glasses, wooden spoons in a crock, and a houseplant fill the cozy, slightly cluttered kitchen.

If your dog loves to hang around while you bake, you might enjoy making a batch of simple homemade dog treats. Many basic recipes use ingredients like plain canned pumpkin, rolled oats, flour, and eggs. Peanut butter is a popular addition, but be sure to choose one without xylitol, a sweetener that's very dangerous to dogs. Skip chocolate, raisins, macadamia nuts, and heavy spices. Treats should make up only a small part of a dog's daily diet, so keep portions small. If your dog has allergies or health conditions, check with your vet before trying a new recipe.

These particular cookies are for the people, but Domino's patience might just earn him a special dog biscuit of his own before the afternoon is over.
