Frosty Paws
1 quart vanilla yogurt
1 medium banana
2 T peanut butter
2 T honey
Puree the banana in a food processor (a blender would probably work fine). Add the peanut butter and honey and continue processing until smooth. Add yogurt and process just long enough to blend all ingredients together. Place 18 small paper cups (bathroom size) in a baking pan (one 9x13 or two 8x8 work well). Fill paper cups to about 2/3's full. An ice cream scoop or a measuring cup makes the job easier. Freeze until solid. I transfer the frozen treats to zip-lock bags for storing in the freezer.

Dog Bones
2 eggs
1/4 c milk
2 c whole wheat flour
1/4 c cornmeal
1/2 c soy flour
1 tsp bone meal*
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 c sunflower or pumpkin seeds (shelled)
2 T oil, melted butter, or fat
1/4 c unsulfured molasses
*from the health food store
Mix eggs and milk and set aside. Mix dry ingredients and seeds. Add oil, molasses and all but one Tablespoon of the egg/milk mixture. Add more milk if needed to make firm dough. Knead a few minutes. Roll out to desired thickness (I roll dough to about 1/8 inch) . Cut into shapes and brush with the reserved egg/milk mixture. Bake on cookie sheets at 350 F for about 20 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Adjust cooking time according to how thick you make the biscuits. To make the biscuits harder, cook at 350 F for about 10-15 minutes, then turn the oven to its lowest setting and continue cooking for an hour or more. Check every once in a while to make sure they aren't scorching. Turn oven off, leaving the cookies in the slowly cooling oven.

Peanut Butter Bones
1 cup unbleached flour
3/4 cup unsalted peanut butter
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp honey or rice syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt
Over medium heat, mix peanut butter, honey, cinnamon, salt and water in a small saucepan. Stir until mixture is smooth and turns into a liquid. Be careful not to scorch. Measure flour into a bowl, then slowly blend in the warm peanut butter mixture. Turn out onto a well-floured surface and knead briefly. Roll out to about 1/8 inch and cut into small shapes. Bake at 375 F for about 15-20 minutes until lightly toasted. Cooking time will depend on size of cookies and desired hardness. To make the biscuits harder, cook at 350 F for about 10-15 minutes, then turn the oven to its lowest setting and continue cooking for an hour or more. Check every once in a while to make sure they aren't scorching. Turn oven off, leaving the cookies in the slowly cooling oven.
