Neglect

These past few weeks have been crazy!! I had papers and final practicums, the Hodges came to town (finally) and goodness knows what else due and unfortunately through all that, nothing funny happened. Not one thing. Except maybe it was a little cute that Hank who normally fears little kids was all over 18 month old William like white on rice to the point that William finally started hitting him in the face and yelling, "STOP!!!" Hank just wagged his tail and continued the ridiculous amount of sniffing and face smelling. I can't blame the kid - I would have hit him too.

Speaking of Hank, he turned 6 yesterday. I spent the day making homemade treats and yelling "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" at him every chance I got. He mostly just looked at me like I had lost it, but he did enjoy the treats. He also got a new toy, which he proudly carried around most of the day, at least until I hit the quacker, which of course scared him and then he proceeded to try to kill it by ripping out the stuffing. You win some, you lose some.
Anyway, for those of you who have pups, mine go absolutely psycho for these:

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup milk
1 tbsp baking soda
2 cups whole wheat flour

Mix the milk and peanut butter in a bowl thoroughly, then add to the dry ingredients. Knead until well mixed, then roll out flat on a lightly floured surface. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters (I have bones and fire hydrants) and bake at 375 for 20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool and store in an airtight container. Keep your fingers out of the way if you have a ridgeback. :)
