Gah, I'm having so much fun with all this treat-making! If I thought I could make a living at this, I would quit my day job in a second. Below are some pictures of the dog-treat-making process and results and my two/too big helpers.
All Barking Bakery treats have the Rider and Posey "Drool of Approval"
I have been baking dog treats all weekend and my muscles are SO sore!! I am making three flavors -- cheese, peanut butter, and sunflower/mint (breath fresheners) -- and each $5 bag includes all three flavors. I had, at first, aimed at producing 100 bags... but, after my first couple of batches, I realized what a huge undertaking that was. So now I have cut it down to 25 and I'm hoping to sell all of them on Saturday.
I never knew how strenuous baking is though! Maybe it's because I've never been one to exercise, but all that kneading and rolling, etc. just exhausts me! I have found it very therapeutic, however, and would love to eventually turn this into a real business. I would be in perfect shape then!
I have really thrown everything I have into this. I think about it all the time and it's fun to have something to work on. Plus, it's a way to get the word out about the Humane Society. I have printed up information flyers to go in each bag and I have a "Did You Know?" sign with information for people who are just browsing and not buying. I also have pictures of some of the animals at the shelter and I am going to paste one to the front of each bag. Now, I'm just crossing my fingers for good weather and a big crowd at the Market!
More updates later this week...

They have been trained to salivate at the sound of the oven timer, haha!
This face tells me I'm doing a good job :-)
Yummy oatmeal treats that didn't make the cut even though they turned out beautifully! They have to be refridgerated and sitting out in the heat all morning probably wouldn't be great for them.
