Homemade Pumpkin & PB Dog Treats

Introducing...my puppy, Dakota!

and meet him at 8 months now...

Yup--my puppy is turning into a handsome doggie! We love him so much; he has been such a blessing to have as a part of our family! He keeps us active (at dog beaches, walks, doggie dates) and meeting new people all the time, he's so fun to play tricks with and he's so sweet & gentle. It's so nice to be greeted with a crazy wagging tail after work and to cuddle with him during movies :) 

I love my puppy! That's why I made homemade pumpkin & PB dog treats! They smelled so yummy while baking (but I didn't try one...) and I love that I knew every single ingredient I put inside them. I added oats & flax seeds to add more texture & nutrition to them. Dakota absolutely loved them and we had enough to share with his doggie friends. 

The happy puppy :)
