Homemade Dog Treats with Peanut Butter, Banana + Parsley

I always judged those dog people. You know the ones.

The owners who dress dogs up in sweaters. Carry them in designer bags. Treat them like children.

I judged those people hard.

But today, a friend pointed out that Lola and I were wearing matching purple rain jackets.

Dinner conversation revolves around when and where she... ahem... pooped that day.

And I just can't help but talk to her in a teeny weeny baby voiwce.


OMG. I'm one of them.

Judge away, people. I'll be in the kitchen. Making homemade treats (with parsley to combat doggie breath!) for my puppy love. Wrapping them up in bows. And taking billions of pictures of Lola enjoying the delicious doggie treats.
