Pupsicles: Fun summer treat!
This has been posted before, but it's that time of year when the temperatures climb and pups get hot on a walk.
Rather than spend a lot of money on pet-store frozen treats, you can easily make your own at home.
Get one small container of plain unsweetened yogurt, mash one very ripe banana, mix in a couple tablespoons of peanut butter, and freeze in ice cube trays for perfect Corgi-sized treats! I've seen other recipes that add honey or molasses, but I don't see the need for added sugar; the banana is sweet enough.
For variety, replace the banana and peanut butter with some canned pumpkin and a few blueberries. Yum! Or make savory pops by mixing in a small jar of chicken-only baby food (it's sufficiently mushed to mix right in without a blender).
Mine love them after a walk.

Hand-feed them some scraped snow; they devour it eagerly and it really cools them down.

Also, some less tasty but still appreciated summer treats here in Arizona. Ice cube peas
The only thing you don't want to do is not pay attention and wind up with peas floating in your own ice tea or root beer.

That is a great idea. Mine just go for the plain cubes. We can't get any ice out without handing out cubes to everybody standing there in line.

Actually it tastes pretty good! I've only licked the spoon; I haven't tried a frozen one.
