Doggy Recipe: Beat the Heat with Puppy Popsicles

Want to help your pup beat the heat? Make him popsicles! Yes, you can easily prepare these tasty treats and you may be tempted as well!

* In a small mixing bowl, combine peanut butter with a little water, plain yogurt or half a mashed banana. (The water and banana aren’t essential, but help with freezing consistency.)

* Line an ice cube tray or cookie sheet with wax paper. (You don’t have to use the paper, but it can make prying the cubes out easier.)

* Spoon the mixture into the cubes or drop onto the tray just like you would cookie dough.

* Freeze. If you need to reuse the tray right away, pop out the cubes and store them in a bag or container in the freezer.
