I could pop in now and then if any of you want me to post stuff I published in
my regional monthly canine newspaper that I did for 19 years.  Everything I did
from 1993 to the end is in this computer.  Here's a sample:

Published in Canine Classified (1982-2001) at various times.

1.  Don't recall who gave me this one. 

MICROWAVE DOG BISCUITS

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup non-fat dry milk powder
1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tsp. sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tbsp. instant bouillon granules - either beef or chicken
1/2 cup hot water

Combine flours, milk powder, rolled oats, cornmeal and sugar in medium
bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg
to dry this mixture, and stir. Add bouillon into hot water until
dissolved. Slowly pour hot water/bouillon into flour mixture with a
fork till all is moistened. Form dough into a ball and knead on
floured board 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Divide dough in
half and roll out each half to about 1/2 inch thick. Make cut-outs
with cookie cutters, or make nuggets by rolling round into 1 inch
diameter log, and cutting into 1/2 inch pcs. Arrange six cut-out
shapes or 24 nuggets on a 10 inch plate. Microwave at 50% (medium)
for 5 to 10 minutes, or until firm and dry to the touch. Rotate
plate every 2 minutes and turn shapes over half way through the
cooking time. Cool on wire rack. Shapes will crisp as they cool.

2.  From the January 1994 issue of West Texas Dogs, a magazine that
later changed its name to Texas Dogs and then ceased publication a
couple of years ago.

CHEESE BONE COOKIES

2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 cup cheese, any kind, shredded
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 tbsp. water

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine flour, cheese, garlic and oil,
knead well. Add water, if needed to form stiff dough. Roll out on
floured surface to 1/2" thick, cut into shapes. Place on ungreased
cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until bottoms are lightly
browned. Cool on wire rack. Refrigerate in airtight container.

-+- And I guess I might have some tips to share from my dog breeding, owning
and showing days --- but other that I really can't contribute much to the
conversations since I have no dog here to talk about.
