Anna is trying to start making doggie treats to sell to help Tori and Jakeb go to Kenya. She's going to try some vegetarian treats, some meaty treats and the ones she made yesterday are made with peanut butter, whole wheat flour and milk and a little baking powder. She rolled it out and cut them into little shapes with small cookie cutters that we bought. Some of them were shaped like dog bones but the others are Christmas trees, hearts, bells, and angels.
So she's making them and Jakeb walks by the table and takes a bite. He thought they were spice cookies. They're made with stuff that's edible but they taste kind of bland. He looked very puzzled and then we told him they were Anna's dog treats and he immediately went to the garbage can.
I made Anna eat one because she needed to know what they tasted like if she was going to sell them.
Then Tori just told me that when she came home from work last night at 10:15, she saw what she thought was a cookie and ate one. Those were the overdone ones that didn't make the cut and we just hadn't thrown them away yet. She thought it tasted disgusting but she swallowed. I'm laughing out loud when she tells me this and immediately the blog post was born. She then saw the recipe laying out for the doggie treats and the bag with the others in it labeled "pb" for peanut butter and put two and two together. She's a smart one.Bella (our dog) liked them alot! So if you want some, call Anna. If you buy some, just keep them away from your kids or they may start barking.
Moral of this story: Don't eat stuff off the counter until you know what it is because it might be dog food!

Anna, I would like a batch of your doggie treats for my dog Scott. But he's kind of fat. Do you make diet doggie treats? Do they cost extra? Diet food always costs more than non-diet food. We'll put them in Scott's stocking.
Anna,
Can we get $10 worth?
Molly will love them for Christmas!
She is super skinny, so we need the fatty-ones!

Anna says, "SURE!"
Jenny, if you're serious, she is going to make the vegetarian ones that are made with low-fat stuff. The meaty ones would be fine too. Probably not the peanut butter ones, though. However, you have to remember they are treats so moderation is key. :)
We haven't even done "market tests" on the other two or the figuring to see how much she should charge but she thinks we can make you a great deal.
So, I guess we go from making peanut brittle to doggie treats! That's kind of interesting.
Thanks guys! This will be a great project for her and she's super pumped about helping Tori and Jakeb.
Tell Tori and Jacob to give us an update when they have completed the "market tests" ... Molly is confident they have great taste
HA!! Will do.
Dedee, I bet Beevo(sp?) could eat about a million in one sitting.
