2 3/4 cups water
1/4 cup applesauce, unsweetened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup chopped apples
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 egg beaten
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Mix above ingredients in a bowl.
Add: 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon cooking oil and 1 cup hot water. Stir well. Roll out on a well-floured surface to 1/2 inch thickness. Place on un-greased cooking sheet. Bake on center rack, 275 degrees for about 2 hours until dry and very hard. Let stand overnight to dry thoroughly. Makes 10 big bones and 14 puppy bones.

Liver Dog Treats (YUCK!, but dogs love them)
1 pound raw liver (any kind) blended into a paste
1 egg
1 cup flour
1/2 cup corn meal (or flour)
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon brewers yeast

Mix well and bake at 350 for 1/2 hour for chewy treats, longer for crisper treats.

Salmon Treats
1 8 oz. can salmon with juice
1/2 cup chopped parsley
3 eggs, shells included
1/2 cup sesame seeds ground up in coffee grinder
1/2 cup flax seeds ground up in coffee grinder
2-3 cups potato flour

Put these ingredients into a food processor, mix VERY WELL. Pour potato flour through the opening while the motor is running. I can't tell you exactly how much, but I would guess about 2-3 cups. When the dough forms, like a pie curst, and rolls into a ball it is ready to take out. Dump this mess onto potato floured counter or board. Knead more flour into this and when it is a rolled out cookie consistency, it is ready to roll out into about 14 inch thick. I use a pizza cutter to roll our long strips and then cut crosswise to make small squares . If you want FANCY you may use a cookie cutter. Bake on cookie sheets, sprayed Pam or line the sheet with parchment paper. I put in as many as will fit. Usually two whole cookie sheets suffices. I bake this in a 375º oven for 20 min. Turn and rotate the cookie sheets and bake about 10 more minutes. You can make them as soft or as hard as you want.

Rice Pudding (from /www.milbroseretrievers.com)
