peachy squirrel cookies for the dog

What is better than a peachy tasting cookie in the shape of a squirrel for some hungry Westies. Dogs should not be given peaches because of the skin and the pit, but canned, homemade canned or fresh peach flesh (pealed and pitted), will make a tasty treat for your dog. The peach pit is very poisonous so dispose of the pit and skin in a dog prof container for the trash. I have been baby sitting a few extra dogs this week so I wanted to try out a homemade doggy treat and see how they like it. I got this recipe from http://seespotbake.wordpress.com/2013/08/01/fresh-peach-biscuits
