While searching for dog-friendly recipes I came across this:

Oscar looks like Apollo when I'm cooking: licking his chops and looking cute, barking and groaning to make sure I remember he's there, then nomnomnom. But Apollo's homemade meals are more balanced than the Rachael Ray recipes - he has meat, veggies, and complex carbs in every meal. He doesn't get pancakes or sandwiches, and he certainly wouldn't get anything as rich as that croque monsieur. I haven't tried him on ice cream/frozen smoothies but I suspect he'd snub anything where fruit was the main event. Maybe frozen peanut butter and yogurt treats or something....I should try that. (His primary chow is Taste of the Wild, which I get at Pepper's)
And I found this, too:

Doggie cookbooks - what?? It's a good way to use up leftovers - those dribs and drabs that aren't enough for a full meal or that you don't think go together (hamburger, spinach, and cranberries with brown rice, anyone?). Fear of commercial dog chow isn't what motivates me to cook for Apollo - honestly, I think those pet food recalls are largely overblown hysterical BS from nutters with too much time on their hands and companies who don't want to be sued by those nutters. I make Apollo's dinner just because I enjoy it and so does he.
Anyway, that's what I'm thinking about this morning: dog food.

I don't want it! 
I want what I usually have! 
My cats are the same way.
