Homemade Dog Bones

When the time comes for Christmas gift giving, I have a hard time. One of my favorite gifts to give are these dog bones. The first time I gave the bones I put the bones in personalized containers. I used old oatmeal and hot chocolate cardboard tube containers. I made labels and included the cutest picture of my dog ever. My dog generally turns her nose up at store bought biscuits, but she gobbles these right up.
