Summer is Coming

There is one thing that lets the dogs know that summer is coming, and will soon be in full force. The return of their beloved frozen Kong recipes! Our more long time readers may remember last year, when I went to town to create some delicious Kong recipes to stuff and freeze for Earl. Now, for the first summer, young Ethel can also try Earl's delightful summer favourites! So, this weekend just passed, I decided, as it was so warm, to whip up Earl's favourite Kong recipe. Banana and peanut butter mixed in!

I whipped up the blend of chopped up banana and peanut butter in a bowl, two canine tongues lolling below my busy hands.

I stuffed the mixture into their Kongs, ensuring that each Kong was given a good dollop, to fill all the way through; even poking out the end! Could the dogs become any more excited?

Then, I placed them together into a container and shut the lid, shoving them into the freezer to stay there overnight. Turning around again, brushing my hands and sighing with content at my done job, I realised; a good dollop of the mixture was left over. If I had even stuffed those Kongs with ANY more mixture, they would have oozed all over, much to the dogs' delight. So, cleverly, I dolloped this extra, leftover mixture into a separate, small tub. That also went alongside the Kongs in the freezer, and soon enough, the dogs would be able to much on some separate, frozen peanut butter and banana ice cubes. Bragging rights; what a smart idea!

And then, all the dogs had to do was wait until they had done... We love Kongs. Because did you know, the Kong Original has even been voted Best Dog Toy in the Your Dog Magazine Product Awards severals years running? Dogs and their people know just how epic Kongs are.

And guess who got to lick the bowl once I had finished making the mixture? Earl did!

Ah, frozen Kongs. A summer doggy delight. There are many different Kong recipes you can try out with your dog.
