Jackman Pawsicles!!!

It seems like everyone is getting killed with the heat. I actually LOVE summer & the heat that goes with it. But even this is a little much for me. And it's only in the 90s here in Pittsburgh. Imagine being Joe Stains and dealing with 110+ degree temps!!

Sherman actually hasn't been drinking enough for this kind of weather. He has a bladder condition (struvite crystals) that I've managed for 4 years with good food, Vitamin C, frequent potty breaks & plenty of hydration. I usually solve the hydration problem by giving him diluted chicken broth to drink (which he does willingly) and figured it would be better frozen!

So, I decided to make Pawsicles! For 3 dogs, I used 1 can reduced sodium chicken broth diluted with water. That's about 3/4 of a cup broth per dog. I threw in some kibble, cheesy cookies (new creation...recipe follows), liver brownies and Voila! Jackman Pawsicles!!!

Looks kind of like fruit cocktail!



I should've known it would be a hit.



For those of you who can't access our videos...here's some pics of the doggie's afternoon delight.




**Cheesy cookies...you can't mess these up (and they're pretty darn tasty for hoomans too!!)

2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups rolled oats (or other flour...buckwheat, spelt or brown rice flours are my own personal preference.)
2 eggs
2 good shakes garlic powder
2 splashes warm water
(seeing a trend here???)

*smoosh everything in a bowl until it forms a dough-like consistancy (should hold together). Add warm water a splash at a time if too dry...shouldn't be too wet though.
*press into a foil lined, EVOO covered (for easy clean up), cookie sheet
*bake at 350 for 30 - 40 minutes.
*cut into 1/2 inch sized cubes with a pizza cutter.
*Try 'em...they're pretty tasty!
*will keep in freezer forever. You probably won't make it a week with 2+ dogs. Less with more hungry jowls to feed.

wow... drooling - not really. the reason why i'm not drooling is because besides my normal meal, i eat whatever mom feeds me - which also mean i won't eat whatever mom threw at my bowl - which also mean even tho i don't like cold food but i'll eat as long as mom feeds me! lol

I don't think I'm going to end up with any of those tasties - it's only 80+ or 90+ (depending on which weather report you read) so not too hot. Humidity is 73% tho''.

PS Hope the fighters are feeling better.

wally said...

All right--we're making those cheesy snacks! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

And we may have to have some pupsicles today, too. I have a barfy belly ache this morning and my ma ape thinks I may have gotten too hot on our morning walk--even though we were home before 5! I also drank my water a little fast. It was an exciting morning!

wally.

ps. please tell your mum--572 days! Then reign of terror is over (The Dick's, not mine).

They recall the boiled beans with treacle of Japan.
In the bean, it is Sets that eats honey putting it.
It is sweet and delicious.

This message is for my BFF Lola:

Did you get my email?! I sent you one asking for your address!! I want to send my bestest BFF a present!

My girl says something about our email may be not working...?

You all look so cool...

Thanks for the recipes too. My girl used to cook (so she *says*), but I've not seen any evidence of it. Maybe you guys will inspire her.

Stay cool (and Sherm, you stay hydrated, man).
