Oh my god, I forgot to make the dog’s treats! I shouted at Hubby.
It was 9 o’clock and Delilah was ready for her snack.
Every morning as I’m washing up the dishes, I was out the bones from the night before and frost the end with pumpkin, leaving them to set in the freezer while I’m at work. Once I get home, I prepare the dog’s food and fill the bone with yogurt and let it freeze until snack time.
I had frozen the pumpkin but forgotten to add anything else to the treat.
There was no way a certain Chocolate Lab was going to settle for a tiny bit of frozen pumpkin..
Think Quick!
I had some frozen pineapple bits which I tucked into the bone.
Remember the Tasty Cubes I made? Well I took one and smashed it in to the bone. It was just enough to make it enjoyable for her.
A little luck pitted with a little Yankee Ingenuity and all was right in Delilah’s world.
This is the Tasty Tuesday Blog Hop, hosted by Kol’s Notes and Sugar the Golden Retriever.
I think my dogs must not be spoiled enough. The only home made treat they get is yogurt from the carton and banana, with a touch of coconut oil.
And I bet they love it!
Woof! Woof! What a tasty treat. Great combo of pineapple and pumpkin. Using cube mold is a good way for portion control. What kind of bone you are using? Happy Tasty Tuesday. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
That is one of the older white bones. The newer white bones are not as good.
Wow that looks well yummy. We have got to get my peeps to make us some treats. Have a terrific Tuesday.
Best wishes Molly
I hope your peep made you a treat!!
That looks easy and yummy!
Phew – would hate to hear the backchat you would have suffered!
Such a good dog mom! Non dog people would find that ridiculous but we totally understand…good you had some other frozen items to add!
There ya go! We dog moms have to get creative sometimes, whether we’re “damn Yankees” or “Suthenahs” I’ve have to find some of those bone-shaped cookie cutters! I used to have some but I don’t know what happened to them.
Resourcefulness – I admire that in a dog mom…but it comes with the territory doesn’t it. Great ideas though – thanks!
🙂 you are such a good dog mom!
Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a good thing fur YOU that you think fast on your paws… YOU would have been in BIG trouble otherwise. hehehehe
We ALL know we can’t forget to make the treats! The dogs are not very happy with us when we forget… Glad you could quickly throw something together to appease Delilah…that could’ve been a disaster otherwise! 😉
Methinks the lady is held hostage by her dog.
Yeah, I know. I am too. Mine needs a mid-day snack or she feels peckish early for dinner and lets me hear about it. 🙂
I’m hoping my dogs don’t find out about what a good mama you are. I mostly open packages.
Very clever

I bet she was a happy doggie!
Every day treat creation?? You are ambitious! I just whipped up a batch of Cupcake’s yogurt, peanut butter, banana, honey frozen treats (with a Milk Bone handle). The last time I made them was last summer!!
Are those real bones that you are stuffing? I should try to find some small enough for Chester and Gretel to use in place of the Kongs…or rather as an occasional alternate to because I think I might get a blank stare with that too. Gretel loves her Kong!
Very clever if your mom

What a great routine! Is that just a hollowed out marrow bone you use?

I’m just so glad my dogs don’t read your blog. They’d expect fancy bone snacks!
Clever treats and I’m sure they loved them. I would mix plain yogurt with pumpkin and stuff in a kong and freeze. They love them.
This southern dog thinks your yankeingenuity is very smart! Great idea!!

Good thinking on the fly Jodi!
Wow you are creative. I just give them peanut butter, and peanut butter, and peanut butter.
Quick thinking! I bet Delilah enjoyed that 🙂
