Yes in this time of uncertainty of food products you may choose to make your own. You can incorporate many nutritional things. I used to make liver brownies.... came into the house to discover step daughter scarfing them down with a big glass of milk and about choked - she said they were delicious. Hmm and we think we cannot get kids to eat anything good for them! Well the wheat germ, protein from liver and cornmeal can't be all that bad right? I think a recipe book for dogs would be a great idea. A store near me sells " gourmet" cookies at $ 1.59 a piece - ridiculous make your own. Just make sure you use carob for frosting as real chocolate can be toxic.debi j ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
