At Rockin' B Ranch, we are all about the dogs in our life.
Some would say they are spoiled.
There is Princess Sheba.
She is the lap dog.
There is Pete.
He is the odd ball of the group.
There is Karma.
The newest member of the pack.
Then there is the Dutch and Dutches of the Ranch.
Onyx
Ailey Mae
Did you know the origin of Dutch and Dutches is German?
I didn't!
Wherever we go you will most likely find one or more of the dogs with us.
Sheba is always in the feed truck. She loves her visits to the feed store!
Pete is normally always with Drewman. He enjoys trips to town.
Karma never leaves Okiegirl. She spends time in the office and in the field each day.
Onyx, on occasion, gets to go feed cattle. His job is to protect the ranch base.
Ailey Mae is by my side wherever I go. She has to be told to stay when I leave. She knows her job is to protect me. That is when she isn't raising her babies.
We love our time with each one of the dogs.
We do our best to provide them quality care and the most love they could ever receive.
We even make them homemade treats.
Okiegirl got in on the last batch of treat making.
Silly kids!
We made two types of treats.
Chewy type treats and Peanut Butter Banana Treats.
Chew Dog Treats Ingredients:
1/2 - 3/4 cups oatmeal (depending on how dense you want the treats)
1/4 cup powdered milk
2 small jars baby food (we used one turkey and one pumpkin)
1 tablespoon peanut butter (either crunchy or smooth works great)
Karma likes peanut butter!
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2) Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
3) Scoop treats on greased cookie sheet.
4) Cook for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
5) Cool. Store treats in your refrigerator for up to one week (or until your furry kid learns how to open the fridge!)
Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour (can be substituted with rice or coconut flour for a grain free option)
1/2 banana, mashed
1/3 cup peanut butter
2 Tbsp ground flax seed
1/4 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2) Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
3) Mix ingredients together thoroughly using a spatula until well combined.
4) Roll out mixture on a floured surface to approximately 1/4".
5) Cut into desired shapes.
6) Repeat with remaining dough.
7) Place on a nonstick baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
When cool they are crisp little snack wafers.
These are Ailey Mae's favorite!
Can't you tell?!?!
After we cut these out, we remembered we have a doggie treat cookie cutters we failed to get out and use.
We also have a doggie bone maker that would work perfect with these treat recipes.
As for spoiled dogs...
We prefer to say they are well taken care of.
XOXO,
Rancher Girl
The Rockin' B Ranch was established by my Great Grand Father, Art Bower, back in the 20's. We are a close knit family ran working cattle operation in north central Oklahoma.
From replacement heifers to feeder steers, the Rockin' B can cover your needs.
Not only does the Ranch focus on quality cattle, but also on quality German Shepherd Dogs. We have been breeding GSD’s, in our home, for 10+ years now and continue to expand the pack.
Although the kids are grown and gone, the 5th and 6th generations are an integral part of daily operations.
Make sure to follow along, with us! After losing our home in a house fire, we have built our dream home, and continue to build our future and world.
