Treats for Stella

Although cats will always be my favorite pet, I cannot deny that I love dogs too. And so, when my girlfriend Kim asks me to take care of her Stella, I always say yes! This visit, I have spent some time baking my way through a doggie treat book. I am playing around with idea of making it a business and Stella is my taste tester. So far she has enjoyed most of the recipes!

"I am such a pretty girl!"

Now that doggie treat sure was good!

Look at me go, my doggie treats keep me going strong!

What do you mean, I have to climb all those stairs? Good thing I am one strong doggie!
