Trio of tempting treats...

Freddie loves all food, whether he should be eating it or not.. There have been a few incidents involving stolen food; he is oh so cute but oh so naughty at times.

Based on my trusty tester being bound to eat whatever I created, I decided to give my hand at homemade treats. Because nothing beats home cooked food, even for dogs. 

Using ingredients already in the kitchen...

I baked three different treats, the third was going to be a little different but having recently moved, my nutribullet base is still in a box so I couldn't turn the oats into flour. Freddie didn't seem to mind one bit.

Three treats using only three ingridents each...

1. Banana&peanut butter bites
You will need... half a ripe banana (easier to mash up), a heaped teaspoon of peanut butter and a sprinkling of gluten free oats.

To make... mash the banana mix in the peanut butter, then add and mix in the oats. Spoon onto the baking tray and pop in the oven till golden brown and firm on top. (The oven was at 180 degrees Celsius)

2. Apple and carrot frittata 

You will need... one apple, carrot (I used one and a half small carrots) and one medium egg.
To make... grate the apple (be careful not to include the core) and carrot and sqeeze out the excess juice, in a dish wisk the egg and mix in the apple and carrot form into little paties and place on a tray and bake, I had mine in the oven for 15minutes and they stayed together when I lifted them off the tray once cooled. 

3. Ham Flapjack

You will need... one medium egg, enough oats to make the mixture stiff (a similar consistency to flapjack) and a few slices of ham, although any lunch meat would work. To make... wish egg in a dish, add in ham and mix, then add enough oats to make a relatively stiff consistency. Had they have worked so well I would have weighed them. I then spooned into a tray and put them into a preheated oven for around 20 minutes. Once out of the oven I marked with a knife into squares and left to cool. (Just like you do with flapjacks). 

Really simple and went down a treat!

This is Freddie's I'm cute, feed me or rub my belly pose.

Lots of woof,

Introducing Freddie

Hello, and a big woof from Freddie. If you were meeting him in real life, he would more than likely be jumping all over you.

We would like to welcome you to our part of the internet. After creating and loving Instagram, I decided to create a blog, to follow Freddie's adventures.

I thought it would be good to start by introducing Freddie with a few Freddie facts:

Freddie is a English Springer Spaniel born on the 11th June 2016.  

When we went to meet Freddie we had already picked his name, there were two dogs left to choose from and he was already called Freddie. So it must have been fate. 

Despite his mad half hours, he is very laid back, almost to the point of being lazy and loves snoozing the day away. (Usually found with either his beloved tiger or duck in his mouth.)

Freddie will do just about anything for his treat. Mostly performing all his tricks at once, before you've even had chance to tell him to do anything. On that note, Freddie will roll over and over until you ask him to and then he acts as if he doesn't know how.

Freddie HATES having his collar and lead put on and will run away and curl up in a ball to try and get out of having them put on, it's very comical. 

He loves the beach, splashing in the sea, digging in the sand and chasing tennis balls. Whilst he loves the sand he equally loves the field, the woods but mostly the mud.

He hates the shower and hair dryer that usually follows such expeditions.

Freddie is full of mischief and makes me laugh everyday. He is very loyal, like a little shadow, he is very loving and cuddly. He loves giving kisses and has us all wrapped around his paws. 

We hope you enjoy following our adventures; we look forward to sharing them with you! 

Lots of woof, 

Freddie & Chloe
