If you don't know me, I'm the dog that's been forced to hide in the back room of the store all day, every day, and I'm tired of it. That little black pug that's always up at the front counter, Raisin, seems to get all the attention while I get nothing. So here's my plan - The recipe below is for dog biscuits. Make a batch for your own dogs this Christmas (they'll love them, no artificial fillers - healthy stuff!), pull out one or two biscuits from the batch and bring them to me at The Cook's Shop. Whatever you do, don't bring any for Raisin! I'm sure my owners will let you feed me. I'll get all the attention and once again be the top dog! I'm drooling just thinking about it!
