Silly Squirrel...you'll never escape me!

Hey Everybody, guess what I had for dessert tonight..... Squirrel! I started with his tail and moved on to his head. He was delicious!

Now I should probably tell you, that I'm not talking about those disgusting little critters in the back yard. Gross! Those things have diseases you know! No, my mum  made me some peanut butter treats and shaped them like squirrel! She said it was poetic justice, finally one dog would catch the elusive squirrel. She got the recipe from my new blog friends Cooper and Lola.

The recipe called for rice flour, so Mum sent Papa on a mission to the grocery store this afternoon, but he couldn't find any. She had to make some from scratch.

It turned out pretty good, but Papa and I retreated to the living room when she started pulling out the power tools!

When they were finished baking Mum and I went for a walk. We left the treats to cool while we were gone. They were all I could think about while we were out!

She put the second tray in the oven when we got home. She cut those ones in circle and then scored them with an X. She said that way she could make them smaller, I told her that wasn't necessary.. I'd make due with the giant size treats. But she said no, the small treats were enough, and to top it off I have to share with Lucy the Chihuahua. Lucy's Mom works with my Dad, and she sent some home made treats at Christmas, so Mum says it's only fair if I share too .... Mothers!

The treats were super yummy and I couldn't get enough! Notice the puddle forming on the floor!

Well thats all for tonight. I have to go give Mum the sad eyes, maybe she'll feel bad and give me some more treats!

Chow for now.

  2. Hi Finn! Cooper and Lola sent me too! You are one handsome dude! I luv squirrel. Try and catch them all the time ;)

    Saw you got nailed at the doggy park. I did too not too long ago. Also by a bull mastiff. He didn't get me quite as bad as you though. Glad you're healed up. Mom says it was more too many dogs and some not getting along that caused the problem. Mom won't let me go to the doggy park anymore. She says the risk isn't worth it. It's sad cause I really liked it there but never want my head inside another dog's mouth again either!

    Lookin forward to gettin to know ya better!

    Followin your tail,
    Roo

  6. Hi, Finn. Cooper and Lola told us about you and your blog. Those squirrels sound really tasty. How nice of your Mom to make them for you. We think homemade treats are THE best.

  12. Hi Finn

    Cooper and Lola have sent you lots of new friends today. They sent me too.

    Those squirrel treats look gorgeous! I chase squirrels in our garden but they've always got away from me so far.

    Looking forward to following your adventures.

  15. Hi Finn! I am your newest follower and you have Cooper and Lola and your cute wrinkly face to thank for that! I have to tell you that I cannot walk away from a bulldog; in fact, we have a bulldog neighbor named Murphy who absolutely makes Daisy (our coon hound) and me happy whenever we see him! I wonder if you would be willing to pay us a visit so that we could be even happier?! Are you in?
    I was alarmed at 1st when you said you eat squirrels and then I was happier when I saw those yummy treats....yummy!
