Hi all !!
    Christmas is just 8 days away (YIKES !) and as I've seen several 
requests for Doggie Treat Recipes so I thought I'd post some of my 
kid's favorites.

   CHEESE AND GARLIC BISCUITS

1.5 C Whole Wheat Flour             1 Clove Garlic, crushed
1.25 C Grated Chedar Cheese      Pinch of Salt
.25 lb. Corn Oil Margarine           Milk

Grate the cheese and let it stand until it reaches room temperature.
Cream the cheese with the softened margarine, garlic, salt and flour.
Add enough milk to form into a ball.  Chill for .5 hour.  Roll onto floured
board.  Cut into shapes (Stuffy says the kitty-cat shapes are *always*
the tastiest !) and bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until slightly brown
and firm.


   WHOLE WHEAT  BISCUITS

2.5 C Whole Wheat Flour          4 tbs. softened margarine
.25 C Wheat Germ                    1 egg, beaten
.25 C Milk                                1 tbs. Molasses
1 Clove garlic, crushed

Combine flour, wheat germ, garlic and salt in a large bowl.  Cut in
margarine.  Stir in beaten egg, molasses and milk.  Add enough water 
so dough can be shaped into a ball.  Roll douyugh onto floured baord to 
a thickness of .5 inch.  Cut into shapes and place on a greased baking 
sheet.  Bake at 375 for 20 minutes, remove from oven and cool.
(A note from Oreo:  Try to convince your human to spread these
with a thin layer of Peanut Butter...YUM-YUM EATUM UP !!!)


   GEORGE'S TASTY BRIBES FOR NAUGHTY PUPS 

1 Flank Steak (about 2 pounds)          .25 C Soy Sauce
2 t. Honey																				.25 t. Garlic Powder
.25 t. Onion Powder

Preheat the oven to 150 (or lowest setting).  Slice the steak along
the grain into thin strips about 4" long.  Slice each strip in half 
lengthwise (they should be about the width of chopsticks).  Combine
the remaining ingredients in a medium size bowl and mix well.  add 
the meat and toss until well coated.  Marinate the meat at least an
hour (I prefer overnight).  Cover two cookie sheets in aluminium 
foil and place the meat strips in a single layer without touching.  
Bake for about 7  hours until the meat is dry like jerky.  
(Rowdy says: forget those cutesy-wootsie cutout biscuits Santa,
just put a few pounds of these in *my* stocking !!)


   B.J.'s PEANUTTY PUPSICKLES

1 Ripe Banana                      .5 C Peanut Butter
.25 C Wheat Germ               .25 C Chopped Unsalted Peanuts

In a small bowl mash banana and Peanut Butter together using 
a fork.  Mix in Wheat Germ.  Place in refrigerator for about an
hour or until firm.  With your hands roll rounded teaspoonfuls of
the mixture into balls.  Roll balls in peanuts, coating them evenly.
Place on a cookie sheet in the freezer.  When completely frozen
store in airtight container in the freezer.
(Kathy's note:  these treats *never* even  make it to an airtight 
container in my house !!  :-)

I just saw last night that the new Foster & Smith Catalog has a couple
of Doggie Biscuit Recipes on page 24.  I got the second two recipes
from a really, really neat (and cheap...only $8.95 US) book called
"Dog Bites: Canine Cuisine"  written by Rick & Martha Reynolds and 
Published by Berkley Books, New York.  The book has a lot of neat 
(and different) treatie recipes that I am dying to try !!  I found it in
a regular ol' bookstore here in C-U.

Well, hope you and all your doggie friends enjoy these recipes !
Our network connection will be down next week and I will be taking 
off for the two weeks after that to head out east to see my Yonder
and let him meet his little kids.  (I can't wait !!)

EVERYBODY HAVE A VERY, VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY
(AND SAFE) NEW YEAR !  I'll talk to all of you (Except Holly and
Tristan that I get to meet *in person* next week :-) in 1993 !!

Christmas Cattle Dog Kisses and Holiday Heeler Hugs to all !!

With Much Love,
