Ok guys, I know this is a late post, some of you right coasters are probably sawing some serious logs by now. Any way, my wife came across this wonderful product a few months ago while parusing the frozen food section at our local Safeway. They're called Frosty Paws and I can almost guarantee your dog will LOVE THEM!! You may already have heard of these and if you have, you know what I'm talking about. They're basically ice cream for dogs, kinda like the Carnation Malts you get at the Ballpark. They're made out of soy and have no sugar or additives. DOGS LOVE THEM!!! Here are a few shots of Drake and Yogi eating it. There so cute to watch as they lick away, their big newfie lips wrapped around the cup. For more info go to:

Happy now newf. lol...... I am still up, waiting on your new thread haha. no just kidding I am getting a cold and am up sneezing, coughing and feeling like I have a kilo cotton in my sinuses, so I just cant sleep, so I figured I could just aswell have fun with putter.
Wow the dogs look like they love it, they look so good I feel like one too, have you tasted them yourself?? Nice deck you have there too. I think the west coast has a "better" weather I mean it is warm but if I am not totally wrong you dont have the horrible humidity, we hardly every use the deck in the summer, only when up from pool and thats about it.
I will check if we have them around here, I saw you could do that on the site you have here.
Hmmmm I also have a feeling there was a thread not long ago with someone who had made some frozen treats themselves, I may even have printed the recipe out.
Those dogs look like they get along so well, have they known eachother since little or are they just the kind of dogs that get along well with all dogs??

Wow, I have never seen doggie treats in the frozen food section. We don't have Safeway here lilke you have in Novato so I'll have to try our Save Mart, same thing. It looks like they come in plastic containers, right?
-
Tonka loves them also, you can get them at Super Wal-Mart, Food Lion, and Bi-Lo. Pretty much anywhere that sells icecream is sellin them, they are a big hit.

Sophie loves frosty paws!!! They're great for cooling her down after a hot day outside. We just give her the whole cup and she goes and lays down holding it between her paws.
I actually found the recipe to make them yourself. It super easy.
2 cups of Vanilla yogurt
1 1/2 cups of water
1 ripe banana
3 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter
throw it all in a blender and mix. I bought the smallest size of those disposable tupperware containers that you can find at any Target or Walmart. Poor the mixture and freeze. Voila! Very cheap and very easy Frosty paws!

I made some this weekend with just plain yogurt with peanut butter in the center. Sugar Bear and Dixie had a ball, non-stop licking until they were finished. I may even mix a little of there food in them for the days they do not want to eat.

Thanks for the compliments on our deck, but in reality, it's falling apart. The people we bought our house from painted it to match the house and now after a few changing of the seasons, all the paint is peeling up. It doesn't help that Drake takes off after Raccoons and his nails rip up the paint. It's starting to look really bad. We're going to have to repaint it this summer and probably next summer we'll put in a new deck. Some of the boards are sketchy to walk on and there was a little dry rot found when we had inspections done before we bought the place. I want to put in that Iron Wood stuff, the synthetic wood that lasts way longer than the natural stuff. The view of our garden is great though. We use it alot now that the weather is nice, it's been in the high 70's and there's zero humidity. Ahhhhh, California weather. We BBQ and eat out on the deck all the time. Did you see the retractable clothes line in one of the pics. It's great for drying all of Sarah's unmentionalbes for all the pervo voyeur neighbors to see.
Drake and Yogi get along really well because 1) They have known each other for a while and are basically brothers and 2) They're Newfs and they love everybody. If anybody else has some cute pics of their doggie eating Frosty Paws or anything else, PLEASE POST THEM!!! I'm gonna have to try out some of those Frosty Paw recipes, save a little money that way....

Hey Magick is Addicted ;D
He knows the music of the icecream guy that comes around once a week,
I trick him with a frostypaw. It's cool the icecream guy gives magick a little doggie bone, when we go to his truck, he said he was scared of big dogs but he likes Magick, he told me he's heard alot of bad things about rotts.

The local San Francisco newspaper just wrote an article on Frosty Paws, I guess Dryers makes them now and they are really catching on. Lots of stores are carrying them now. How Funny!!! It's a multi-million dollar product! Here's the article, there's a quote in it that cracked me up: "My dog would try to eat it too fast and then he'd get brain freeze. He'd stop and squint his eyes. Now he takes his time."
