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.

Keegan will be the subject of so many posts. He is our first son and I have spent a ton of time with him. He is the most amazing dog and I love him so much.

Today I wanted to talk about Keegan and his dog toys. Our Keegan has at least 30 and I have given a couple to Good Will. It started on his 5th Birthday, my first birthday with him. I could not help my self and bought him a bunny rabbit. Then he got a frog, a duck, a yellow dog, a red dog, a cow, an owl and so on. I can not go into the pet store without buying him a stuffed animal.

Keegan is allergic to most of the treats and over the years he has shown us how much he loves his stuffed animals. Occasionally, they loose a wing, a tail or an ear, but he never tears them apart. In fact, he babies them and takes care of them. Sometimes I may find one of them outside, but if you tell him he will go and get it.

My husband works hard to teach Keegan the new animal names, so if he says him to get a certain stuffed animal Keegan will get it. He will dig and dig in his toy box to find the right one. Yes, our doggy has a toy box, he actually has two.

I am pretty impressed with how he treats them and carries them around. There are many times we leave him and when we come home he has pulled out many of his “friends” and they are all over our house. It is the cutest thing. We still have not taught him to clean all of them up.

He does have favorites. I know he loves that bunny rabbit. Six years later he still has him. In fact that was the friend he carried around a lot today. His other favorite right now is an owl. My niece got him that for a birthday two years ago and for some reason he loves that one.

The best is that I wrap his toys up in a box with wrapping paper and he opens them. Sometimes I think he likes tearing open the box as much as the toys and treats inside. We have to be careful at Christmas because sometimes he can smell his treats and he tries to get into his packages early. He is great on voice command and has never gotten into a box with out permission, but it is the coolest thing to watch.

Keegan is also a big fan of the Kong, Frisbee and balls. He is great at playing fetch. He plays hide and seek and may times my husband will trick him by hiding his toys and having him go find them. Again, it is the cutest thing.

Keegan makes me smile and I love that he loves all his littler friends. I bought him a lion for Easter. I am going to wrap it up tomorrow for him. 🙂
