Happy National Pet Day from Cooper Crazy Lee! I am so grateful for having a best friend and roommate who never argues, sleeps when I want to sleep, eats when I want to eat, exercises when I want to exercise, and just does everything I want to do. It’s amazing how these animals love you unconditionally and blindly follow you on any adventure — except when they hear the words B-A-T-H, B-R-U-S-H Y-O-U-R T-E-E-T-H or V-E-T. Then the paws firmly plant themselves in the carpet and they back pedal looking for a place to hide. 

These past few weeks have been especially trying for most of us. But thanks to Cooper, we still manage to get out of the apartment about three times a day. We go for long walks, climb stairs, go for a jog along the marina and play ball. To be honest, I can’t think of a single furry little friend who opposes the new normal and the new work from home policy. 

Today, we’re celebrating National Pet day by making peanut butter and banana dog cookies. Yum! You can find the recipe for PetSmart’s Peanut Butter & Cereal Dog Treats. 

Ingredients

• 1 cup of flour
• ½ cup of vegetable oil
• ¼ peanut butter
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups of honey nuts toasted oats

And, since I have a hard time following recipes, I added in one banana (!)

Mix up the ingredients and bake it in the oven for 15 minutes and you’ve got yourself a batch of freshly baked peanut butter and banana dog cookies. Mom tested, dog approved.
