How to Make Your Dog a "Helper" in the Kitchen/Free Dog Treat
We have a rather spoiled, VERY well loved dog who allows us to live in "his" house. :o) He enjoys being in the kitchen when I cook, I'm sure to keep me "company."
I hate cleaning out cans/jars so they can be recycled. He enjoys cleaning out cans for me. A win, win. I have a can opener that does not leave any sharp edges. When I have a can or a jar that needs to be cleaned out and the contents are safe for dogs, I give him the can or jar and he very cheerfully cleans it out for me, then I just pick it up when he is done and put it in the recycling.
Ways this is a helpful:
- I don't have to do a chore I don't like.
- I'm saving water.
- It keeps my dog busy and out from under my feet.
- I hate having anything left in the jar, now I can feel less guilty because I am providing nutrition to my dog. (I still get as much out as I can with a spatula)
- I often get my feet warmed up in return.
Now I just need to teach him to take the can/jar TO the recycling!

I absolutely love this post! I am adding to my list of reasons why we need a dog. Thanks for the link to unsafe foods for dogs. I have wondered what I could give my dad's dog when I dogsit.
