“Here Kitty Kitty,” said no Christmas tree ever, or in our case, any Christmas present. If you come to our house at any point during the holiday season, you will quickly realize that there are trees throughout the entire house and not a single one has a present underneath of it. That’s because Brenna is the destroyer of all things gift wrapped. She could care less what’s inside of a shiny bow bedazzled package, she’s merely interested in wrapping her claws and teeth around it and pretending to be a velociraptor. Brenna with a Christmas present is a sight to behold; it’s pretty much a kitty on crack moment.
This year, Brenna’s all about sharing her Christmas spirit with the puppies in our neighborhood. While it’s true she has no great regard for the dog species as a whole, she is a huge admirer of gifts and believes that every pet should receive a yummy treatie wheatie underneath their Christmas tree. So, why not join Brenna in the kitchen this holiday season? Whip up a batch of these Here Kitty Kitty Dog Treats for the puppies in your life. Just remember to tell the humans in your life that these are indeed dog treats and not people treatie wheaties. While they are edible, most individuals tend to find the flavor of peanut butter and chicken broth cookies a little disturbing. Unfortunately and amusingly, B.O.B. Bob tested this theory out on his poor coworkers.
