Well for those of you who don’t already know Bo Obama was welcomed into the White House yesterday. In honor of his new digs my toy schnauzer Austin insisted we share his favorite dog biscuit recipes with the new pooch. Austin says that these are the greatest dog biscuits he has ever tasted (way better then those box things we get from the store)! Austin also wanted me to pass a message on to Bo Obama that swimming is one of those learn as you go things; so don’t worry too much. Pretty soon you will be splashing around with the rest of the family in no time!

These biscuits are super simple to make and are good for every dog to eat. Austin loves them so much that I actually decided to give them a try one day. Since too much sugar isn’t a good thing for dogs they didn’t quite fit my pallet. However, I don’t feel as though he cares that much.

This is a picture of my Austin a.k.a. Bubba. Isn’t he adorable? We got him at Twilight Run Kennels. I really love how much they take care of their dogs and they have great facilities!
