Fido Friday | Healthy Millennial Mom

I love my dog , Keegan and I want him to live forever and so I am making him healthy Keegan treats. As a side note, did you hear about the dog in Australia that lived to 30? That is awesome!

Keegan’s Dog Treats

1 1/2 cup of flour (I use wheat flour)

1/4 cup of pumpkin puree (I made pumpkin puree from a pumpkin from my garden)

1/2 cup of peanut butter (I use an all natural crunchy kind)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon turmeric

1 tablespoon fish oil

1 tablespoon flex oil

2 tablespoons chia seeds

Mix all the ingredients together, add water if needed.

Roll dough and use cookie cutter or make in to small round cookies and place on baking sheet. I cover my baking sheet with olive oil and turmeric.

Back at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Let cool and give to your puppy.

I keep mine in the refrigerator to prevent mold if under baked.

For Facebook and Twitter I tried to create a daily theme. I am not set on what I have chosen, but for Friday I am going with Fido Friday. Pets need to be healthy too. So every Friday I would like to post or blog about our Health Pets. However, today I would like to blog about my inspiration and the BEST doggy in the world, our Keegan.

Friday is almost over and I am just getting to this. It was a busy day but Keegan was the focus for the day. Due to the new baby, Keegan has not been as spoiled as he use to be. Keegan is our first son. When I met my husband he was five and this year he will be turning eleven. Since I know my days are limited with him, I do my best to included him in as much as I can.

Today was no exception. I met my dad for lunch and a walk around the lake close to where I use to work. Many times before work my dad, Keegan and I would meet up for a quick walk before a full day of work (yes Keegan spent many days at work with me). Keegan has never been good on a leash with me so many times he is in voice command and runs off leash. Keegan loves water. Some days he would not listen and go swimming. No one wants to smell a wet dog at work, so I would be make a trip back home to drop him off. Thank God I live right down the street.

It was funny because today dad and I were chatting about this one time it was hot and Keegan could not find any water so he found a small mud puddle to sit in it. He rolled around until his entire body was covered in wet mud. He looked at me and I know he was thinking “sorry mom but now I am cool.”

Today I knew it was going to be a lot of work but with baby, stroller, blanket, diaper bag and ice tea, we took Keegan for a walk and swim. Thank God for dad, he helped a ton. It was a gorgeous hot day for March and with the sun beating down on us, I had half a mind to join Keegan in the cool lake.

Today Keegan tried to catch the ducks and ran through a field of geese. He found no less than five sticks. He got a little stuck in some branches and walked most of the way back in the near by stream. The best is when he runs and runs, care free with his ears blowing in the wind. I can’t help but smile because he is the happiest dog.

When we got home it was bath time and then he crashed for about ten minutes before my husband encouraged him to go outside and help him with yard work. He followed him around like a little puppy dog until he could not take it anymore and passed out in the shade under our tree.

Once again Keegan you made my day and know I love you.
