Day 5- Riley's Cookies

Six years ago I finally convinced Joe that we should get a dog.  Being who he is, he went out and bought two dog breed dictionaries, and proceeded  to read thru them and narrow down the selections.  We wanted a medium dog, who was really good with kids, since Ronan was only six at the time, and we have so many kids in our neighborhood.  Joe narrowed his list down to 20 breeds, and then I went to work on finding breeders, and picking my own top five.  The biggest selling points for the Nordic Spitz were it's size, it's great disposition with children and the fact there is no doggy odor. ( She sheds like a full grown bear, but she always smells fresh!   ) We found Viking Heaven Kennels and our Riley.  She makes my every day better, and as Joe will tell you promptly replaced him on the chain of priority in this house so now it goes: Ronan, Riley, Joe. 

Riley has had some tummy issues, and we have to be careful what we feed her.   We have  a great food we get from the Vet, but  I decided baking her treats made sense.

I am counting these as Christmas cookies because even though Riley gets them year round, I do tend to gift them to my favorite doggie friends!
