Jamie Actually, I make frozen treats for my dogs, fruits and yogurt, and I freeze them in ice cube trays. They LOVE these treats, and they don't stay frozen hard very long, just long enough for them to play with before eating them. FYI: I put lots of plain yogurt and apples, bananas and berries on the blender and voila!! after they freeze I put the treats on plastic zip lock baggies, there is always something for them. Just give them a "fruit cube" when is too hot. Added benefit, they drink more water. Ileana ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
