Yesterday was National Dog Day! I missed it, and I blame my new puppy for it. They aren’t kidding about being prepared for a new baby by getting a puppy. Lack of sleep has made me quite forgetful. Okay, back to the reason for this article. National Dog Day or birthdays seems to be a big deal for dog owners. I’m not sure I’ll jump on this band wagon, but I definitely want to make healthy treats for our newest member to the family.

Owning a dog can be very expensive and not only does making your own dog beds, coats and toys seem like fun, it is also a great way to save money on pet supplies too. One of our puppy’s favorite homemade dog toy is a soda bottle ½ filled with rice. It is noisy, it flips and spins and has a spout for him to grab.
