peanut butter, honey, and banana dog treats.jpg

I've been trying to explain to Amos and Rutledge that this week is not about them but that it's about all doggies and helping the ones that don't have homes. But they are kind of selfish and have had trouble understanding why, if it is doggie week, they have not really gotten anything out of the deal. So after much debate, I caved and made them some peanut butter, honey, and banana dog treats so that they felt special too...apparently they aren't spoiled enough...

They lead very hard lives of napping, eating, going on long walks, getting their bellies scratched and then napping again in fluffy beds so I could see where they needed a little treat...can't you?

Nevertheless, I made them treats...as I usually cave to their demands (I am not the disciplinary in the family) and figured that you might want this doggie treat recipe to bake for your furry kids who think they need a little something extra over the weekend.

By now you know that this week is doggie week here on My Diary of Us and I just had to spotlight my new favorite app and how it and you can help local animal shelters just by walking your dog! My old man of a dog, Rutledge is from a shelter and so this topic is near and dear to me! It's so easy, and honestly a genius way for all of us to be a part of helping shelters and the dogs who end up there on a daily basis! Along with sharing the app, I'm going to give you a behind the scenes look at the adoption organization that I linked my app to, Friends of the Animals!

First let's talk about the Walk For a Dog program. It's a program that encourages us to get out and walk, bike, or run with our pups ( just more encouragement to be active and keep our pets active)! You can pick which shelter you would like to donate to by simply selecting it when you set up your app, which is actually called the WoofTrax App. All you have to do is bring your phone with you and turn on the app every time that you walk, bike, or run and just like that you are helping a shelter! How amazing is that?
