Tasty Tuesday - Banana Yoghurt Frozen Kong Recipe

Hi, y'all! We have another PAWsome frozen Kong recipe for you today! I just can't stress enough how we ADORE Kongs (especially the stuffing kind) and how frozen Kongs with delicious food inside, some alone, some mixed, keep dogs busy for even longer than non frozen ones, plus the dogs love it!

And its the Banana Yoghurt recipe, today!!

Its still pretty warm this August where we are - so here comes another frozen delight that Earl, our family's fair GENEROUS food critic tried out himself.

Ingredients you will need:

~ Banana (depending how much on the size of your dog and Kong)
~ Natural Yoghurt (")

Equipment you will need:

~ A knife
~ A spoon
~ A fork
~ A Kong

Method of making:

1. Set out your ingredients and equipment. Cut the banana to your dog's and your dog's Kong's appropriate amount…

White stuff on top of banana - spilt yoghurt! Please excuse it.

2. Put this in a clean bowl. Now spoon out the appropriate amount of natural yoghurt and dollop this, alongside the banana, into the bowl…

3. Use a fork to mash the banana and yoghurt up together, until they are nice and blended together...

4. Use any tool you find works best at the following job, to squish as much of the mixture as possible into the Kong. Push it right down, and fill it until there is mixture coming out of the top. Neatness is never an issue - our dogs never care, and some excess overlay of the foodie mixture will just help get him/her into it that bit more!..

5. Wipe the excess mixture from your pushing-in tool onto the outside of the Kong to give your dog an incentive to delve right inside for more…

EARL AND ETHEL'S TOP TRICK!

Hi ya'll! E & E here today. Woofs!! Aroooooooooooooooos!! Whines with sheer joy and excitement!! Anyway, we would like to let you know to tell your human bakers to, when putting the stuffed Kong in the freezer, lay it on a piece of kitchen roll or thickish tissue so that it keeps it from sliding and doesn't mess up your freezer! Help keep the humans happy!

6. Put your Kong in the freezer. The ingredients used are human grade, but going by Earl and Ethel's top trick is a good idea and one that we, personally, always follow. It makes a lot of sense, doesn't it!? Smart doggies.

To start off your waiting (you should leave the Kong to freeze for at least an overnight period, preferably more) - and this is a vitally important step you know… - let your dogs lick the spoon!! After all, hasn't he waited patiently enough?

The ingredients used are good for dogs!

You will end up with a yoghurt chops, but don't worry, a dog like Earl can clean himself up 
with a quick swipe of his tongue again!

Yoghurt chops is correct.

The following day, your Banana Yoghurt Frozen Stuffed Kong is ready and waiting to be enjoyed!

Now Ethel has been enjoying her own puppy bone-shaped Kong. We feel that her tummy is too sensitive to eat some of the rich-ish ingredients added to Frozen Kongs, so we simply stuff her's with her's and Earl's food, plus other canine biscuits and treats. 

More on puppies and their Kong Stuffing fun in a future Tasty Tuesday! (We plan).

We hope you'll make the best of frozen Kong recipes from us while the summer lasts! 

We're participating in the Tasty Tuesday Blog Hop hosted by Sugar The Golden Retriever and Kol's Notes - thanks again, guys!

Black And White Sunday - The details of pure Wobby

Earl has what we call, 'wobby' ears at times.

Cute but wobby ears...

Can you see what I mean?? Let me explain in further detail.

If you can see that Earl's left ear, right as you look at it, is not straight and is rather wonky, then you have grasped the basics. 

Said ear is looking completely different to Earl's other ear. This ear is straight.

Now Earl and a few others dogs in his litter were born with a slight tendency to 'wob' their ears. Earl's breeder, who has recently bred another litter of Border Terrier puppies, commented that she was quite disappointed that all puppies had both of their ears 'flying'. We call it wobby. She said this from a showing point of view.

Wobby ears usually occur naturally. That is just the way these dogs were born. However, when the ears on a go go back against the head, this shows the dog is uncomfortable, upset, confused, and moods and emotions similar to these example three. 

Earl also has a wobby paw. Now this isn't bred into a dog (usually), however some dogs do it to show confusion, or a feeling of sorry-for-themselves. 

SOME DOGS, however, may lift their paw to show an INJURY, so if your dog is limping, take him to the vet ASAP. When a dog is sat down, he may lift his paw to show an injury, especially if he limps when walking. If this is very uncommon of your dog, a check may be necessary at the vets.

Ironically, Earl's EARS are perfect here, as we move onto our next wobby topic...

Focus your attention not as much here today on that B-E-A-utiful BT smoochie face, but Earl's left paw, right one as you look at it. This is because he wants a piece of cheese, being cut on the worktop. He is so eager to get some, and needs some now. So he is in a state of panic. No cheese! It is also a state of wonder and confusion. How to get the cheese? Will it fall? Oh My Dog!

And Earl is not limping, so he is fine.

So now you know more on the subject of WOBBY LOOKING DOGS! Bless their adorable, funny little selves.

Now Ethel, she is not so wobby. Her ears just curl up with fur at the ends! CUTE!

I just love the individual quirks of dogs!

So lately, Earl has been enjoying a sunny pool PAWty. But because he dislikes water, he decided he'd make the most out of the pool when there was no water…

He actually really seemed to enjoy it!

He's definitely more of a sun than water dog. A chill-out-er.

Whereas, Ethel, the one that goes nuts running in circles whenever she jumps into and out of again the paddling pool, waiting on the sidelines with a toy which matched her own size.

So, you have an empty pool PAWty, OK? They're not as weird as you think…

Sorry. That's what Earl told me to tell you. 

Now lets all put our PAWS UP with us here at EW because you know? Its FRIDAY!!

Paws Up is a fun occurrence at EW every Friday
