Pets need cookies, too! Many households in your very neighborhood are likely to have at least one dog or cat (or both). If you are one of them or have made friends with the neighbors' pets, you may want to give your little furry friend a special treat occasionally. Make a batch of homemade dog "bones" or kitty treats.
