A Little Dog Angel
High up in the courts of heaven today
A little dog angel waits;
With the other angels he will not play,
But he sits alone at the gates,
"For I know that my master will come," says he,
"And when he comes he will call for me."
And his master far on the earth below,
As he sits in his easy chair,
Forgets sometimes, and he whistles low
For the dog that is not there:
And the little dog angel cocks his ears
And dreams that his master's call he hears.
And I know that at last when his master waits
Outside, in the dark and cold
For the hand of death to open the gates
That lead to those courts of gold,
The little dog angels' eager bark
Will comfort his soul in the shivering dark.

Microwave Dog Biscuits
|
1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cup non-fat dry milk powder
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 t. sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1 egg slightly beaten
1 chicken bouillon cube
(dissolved in 1/2 c. hot water) |
Mix dry ingredients, cut in shortening,
stir in egg, then stir in the bouillon.
When all is moistened, form dough into
a ball and knead on floured board 5 minutes or until smooth and
elastic.
Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch
thick. Cut into shapes you want (little rectangles would do).
Arrange on a microwave safe plate and
microwave at 50% (medium) for 5 to 10 minutes (I to 5 minutes), or
until firm and dry to the touch.
Rotate plate every 2 minutes and turn
shapes over half way through the cooking time. Cool on a wire rack
(I just use paper towel!). Shapes will crisp as they cool.
