YOU CAN HELP THE DOG PARK by buying food.

The Low Gap Dog Park has been approved to participate in the
FOOD MAX/LUCKYS supermarket S.H.A.R.E. program.

How it works? Everytime you shop at these supermarkets and swipe your S.H.A.R.E. card, Luckys or Food Max will donate 3% of your total bill to the Low Gap Dog Park. It's just that easy.

If you are a dog park supporter who primarily shop at Luckys or Food Max, please contact me and I will make sure you receive a S.HA.RE. card. Besure to give me a mailing address. wellmanneredmutts@gmail.com

Quick & Easy smelly dog treats

Recipe for LIVER OATMEAL training treats.
Your Dog will love these!

1 container of liver ( any kind approx. a pound plus)
2 Cups quick oatmeal (may need to add a small amount more)
1/4 Cup water

* You can add more flavoring if you like such as maple syrup, BBQ sauce, etc.
Preheat oven to 350.
Turn on the fan...This is liver after all.

In a food processor or blender puree the liver. If you are queasy try not to gag. Add the quick oatmeal and water. Blend well.
Spay a cookie sheet with non-stick oil. Spread mix evenly onto cookie sheet. You may want to cover the pan with a layer of foil. For crunchy treats do not cover.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour. Let the treats cool in the oven or on counter. Take a pizza cutter and cut into small squares. Refrigerate treats or allow to completely dry out.
