Thank Your Dog with These 7 DIY Dog Treats!

Sharing is caring!

During this time of year, many of us stop and think about what we’re thankful to have. But how many of us are thankful for our pets?

If you’re a dog owner like I am, you probably feel grateful for your dog every single day. This year, though, we want to show our thankfulness to our four-legged friends!

So I’m joining Purina this Thanksgiving by supporting the National Dog Show with #DogThanking! This program is all about sharing why we dog owners are thankful for our pups!

Read on to see why I’m thankful for my dog this year. Plus, get 7 yummy DIY dog treat recipes you can use to say “thank you” to your dog!

Thank Your Dog with These 7 DIY Dog Treats!Why I’m Thankful for My Dog This Year

She’s funny. When I’m in a need of a laugh, I only have to look for Annie. She never fails to make me smile with her antics.

She’s affectionate. Dogs are so loving and affectionate. If I’m having a bad day, I can pick her up and get all the hugs and kisses I need.

She’s loyal. Annie has always been loyal to me. No matter what’s going on in my life, I can count on her. And that makes me incredibly grateful to have her in my life.

She’s a reminder.  Annie is a Hurricane Katrina Rescue – my Father-in-Law rescued her and her siblings from a destroyed Mobile Home.  When we look at her or feed her or hold her, we are reminded of his selflessness and kindness.  He is gone from us now, but his love lives on in her.
