 As promised, I tried out the Homemade Chicken Jerky recipe this weekend.  The ingredients and instructions are in this blog post:  Aren’t We All Tired of These Recalls? 

 I started with these:
  
Once the pieces were defrosted and patted dry, the next step was to cut the pieces into strips and lay them in the pan.

After baking in a low oven, there was considerable shrinkage, but the result was just as described in the recipe.  

Now here’s the most important part of this experiment:  Jazz performing the taste test.  She sat, she sniffed, she scarffed it up!

Look at that smile!  Success!  Now, check out the recipe and let me know if your dog smiles.

Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we’ve got our whole lives ahead of us, and you’re inside worrying about a light bulb?

Border Collie: Just One. And then I’ll replace ALL the wiring that’s not up to code.

Dachshund: You know I can’t reach that lamp.

Rottweiler: Make me.

Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

Lab:  Oh Me, Me Me!   PLEEEEEEEEZE let me change the light bulb. Can I? Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I, PLEEEEEEEEZE, PLEASE PLEASE?

German Shepard: I’ll change it as soon as I’ve led everyone out of the dark, check to make sure I haven’t missed anyone, make one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.

Jack Russell: I’ll just pop it in while I am bouncing off the walls and chasing my tail.

Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

Chihuahua: Yo Quiero Taco Bulb.

Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there–RIGHT THERE

Greyhound: It isn’t running, who cares?

Sheltie:  First, I’ll put all the light bulbs in a little circle.

Poodle: I’ll just blow in the Border Collie’s ear, and he’ll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

Terrier: Let me bark at it for a while to see if it really needs changing.
