Sweet Potato Apple Dog Treats

11 years ago I was out foraging with my daughter for a suitable offering to appease our cat at a local PetSmart.  At the inside entrance of the store, sitting at a long table were several women from a local animal rescue with puppies and dogs of varying ages looking for homes.  They didn’t call them “rescue homes” back then.  I proceeded past the women toward the sought after prizes, sans child.  Big mistake. 

On that day, I learned the true power of persuasion my daughter possessed.  She begged, pleading for me to come see the puppies.  Gently, I attempted to explain that we had enough animals in our home and the addition of another animal was not possible.  She continued, attempting to coerce me, promising to walk, feed, and care for this potential new family addition.  Again, I attempted my explanation.  She countered, saying that this time was different, promising to work as a united front caring for said pet.  Click for cuteness – and a recipe!
