homemade dog treats

I have been baking some dog treats for Luigi and he loves em'. I have called them Parmesan pieces. If you would like to treat your dog to some to here is how to make a batch.

Recipe For Parmesan Pieces

Ingredients

2 cups of all-purpose/plain flour

1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan

1/4 cup semolina or cornmeal

1 stock cube or 1 tblspn of stock powder- we used beef.

1 large egg beaten

3/4 to one cup of warm water

flour just for rolling out the dough

turn oven on at 180/350

Disolve the stock cube in the warm water. Mix the dry ingredients together. Add the egg and water and stir, then use your hands to make the mixture into dough.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a floured surface. Cut out the shapes with a cookie cutter, and put on a non-stick baking tray. Put them in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Luigi in a comic

Here is a comic stirip about Luigi on a walk cilck on it to make it bigger.

This is not a true story.

luigis birthday!

Luigi is now one year old! His birth day was on the 14th of December. We did not do anything for his birthday but here are some photos of Luigi - big and small, fluffy and not, from his year with us!

luigis operation

On the 5th of December Luigi went to the vets to be neutered We took Luigi inside and after a long talk on how we had to treat him after his operation, we left him on his own (and he howled of course).

We went to pick him up a 4.00! Luigi was a new dog. He was shaking and crying. We took him back home. He lay by the fire and cried. He slept in mums room that night -all night he was crying. (he did not like his collar of course). In the morning he was a bit better so we put up the Christmas decorations.

Next day Luigi was better and he was being so funny! he was running and went under the table and got stuck! We had to rescue him and he was very grateful!

Today we went back for a check up on his stitches. All was OK. Luigi has his stitches out on the day after his birth day the 15Th of December.

luigi and his snowman

It has been snowing here. Luigi went out to play (tip we put vegetable oil on Luigis paws to stop him becoming a snow ball),

We built a snowman and Luigi a snow dog. We took Luigi on a walk we call snow prints. It was the first time. It was so very fun as it had snowed quite a lot.

We also had a snow ball fight and Luigi did not throw any but we threw at him. He loves to chase and dodge the snow balls. We went in but Luigi did not. When we came out Luigi had smashed our snowman and dog. We built a snow fort and at last it was tea time.

(luigi has not had his hair cut yet)

luigi the new dog

Luigi has gone to the grooming parlor. We dropped him off at nine and went to Norwich for the morning.

When we got back we saw a dog and what a dog!! It's was Luigi but wow! He looks so funny! Here is a photo of him before the groom. and now here is the new luigi!!!

luigis friend

Luigi has had a dog friend for a long time. His name is Charlie.

When they first met Luigi was very scared, but as he got bigger he and Charlie got to like each other more and more. Soon they loved to play with each other. Luigi will lie on his back and Charlie will bite him. Luigi will try to run but Charlie will catch him quickly for he is a border collie. He loves to do agility and has won one rosette.

He and Luigi get on well which is good for we see him every week. We go on walks with Charlie and they will run and jump on each over (well Charlie will jump on Luigi!)

Here is a photo of luigi and charlie. if you want to know more about charlie go to my friends blog
