Homemade Frosty Paws Recipe

I was so excited last week to receive this recipe from Patti, a friend and fellow dog lover!

My sidekick, Pierre, loves the Frosty Paws treats from the freezer section of the grocery store.  However, at 11.9 pounds (12 #s would be overweight) I'm stuck splitting the cup in half or taking it away midway through the enjoyment...downright mean in everyone's opinion.

I purchased some small silicone baking cups at the local dollar store and they are perfect!  The baking cups are also non-stick, dishwasher safe and colorful!  I got 8 cups for $1. 

Knock off Frosty Paws; Peanut Butter Flavor
32 oz vanilla yogurt
1 large jar baby bananas or 1 ripe banana mashed
4 TBSP Peanut butter

I did a little whirl in the food processor with the banana and yogurt.

The original recipe called for honey, but since I used the vanilla yogurt, I omitted it.  The vanilla yogurt is a bit sweetened and tasted great.  I also didn't mix in the peanut butter entirely, but made a little swirl in the yogurt, kinda like people ice cream.

Here is my sidekick in action....

  Bring on the Spring and ice cream season, we're ready! 

Little Pierre Update

I thought I'd share a bit about Little Pierre today.  Pierre is now 9 months old and full of energy and love! 

This is his spot in the Living Room, which affords a view of the driveway and kitchen.  Pierre can monitor all movement and bark accordingly.  

 We are just now able to capture a "still" Pierre.  Terriers have a lot of energy!

 We are having fun with dog ice cream!  I am always amazed at the products available for dogs!

He has an invisible fence in our backyard, so he's able to run and play at whim!  Pierre has made friends with the neighbor dogs, so there is much activity to keep him busy!    Pierre has experienced his first vaccinations, a string eating episode, his first bee sting and 2 doggie parties! 


Otto and Pierre are now friends, they often play together and the cats love Pierre's dog treats!  Otto keeps Pierre groomed and in line!

When Pierre is unsupervised, he occasionally gets himself in trouble.  It absolutely amazes me how much stuffing little cat toys contain!

We do love having a summer afternoon read and nap together!
