- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup quick cook oats
- 1 Tbsp. Coconut oil
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp. Vanilla
- 1 Tbsp. honey (honey is safe for dogs in small quantities, but do not give puppies raw honey since they still have a developing immunity) If you are worried you can substitute chicken broth)

Method

- We hope your dogs enjoy these Pumpkin Puppy Muffins for a special Fall treat, too!
Doggy Update:
All of our dogs that are old enough for breeding have gone into "season" and all this month we have been working on breeding them and bringing everyone outstanding PUPPIES! Star, Piper, and Nala have all been bred and we are crossing our fingers (and toes) that they will be fruitful and multiply!!!
I am going to focus on Pinkerton today because she is due in 4 days!!! So far we have seen at least 8 puppies in the ultrasound. I am so excited to see how many males and females. Will we have light ones like Pinkerton or gold ones like Sullivan or a mix of both? Pinkerton is doing wonderfully!
Here she is in all of her pregnant glory!
(The waiting list for this litter is full, but stay tuned in case there are extra puppies the vet did not see during the ultrasound! When Star had her litter the vet saw 6 puppies and she ended up having 8 puppies. This is Pinkerton and Sullivan's Jane Austin litter. I love Jane Austin and so the puppies will have names from her books, I loooove the name Willoughby. Everyone will choose their puppy and the new puppy names when the puppies are 5-6 weeks old!
Pinkerton is so gorgeous! We can all feel the babies kicking inside of her. I seriously get moved to tears every time I feel them!
I can't get enough of this sweet face! Please send lots of love and prayers our way for a happy, healthy delivery!
