Anyone who knows me knows that I love animals. More than that, I love dogs. It is because of this love that I cook for people AND dogs. After all, a dog's gotta eat too!
My dog, Kip, has always had 2 obsessions: ensuring the security of our yard (from deer, neighbors, mail men, and even the ever so daunting butterflies) and peanut butter. I often entertain myself by giving him a nearly empty jar of peanut butter and watch him try and get every last morsel out. Occasionally, I give him a break and just make him peanut butter dog cookies. It's easier for him, but not nearly as fun for me... oh well, the sacrifices of love.
