Need some ideas for snacks
and party trays? We've got you covered, starting with
a very pretty Party Bones arrangement shown here, from
Michelle Caballero and Jamie Kisler, of Pawsitively
Delicious in McKinney, Texas.
Start with a basket or
aluminum tub. Place a long piece of Styrofoam inside
and glue it to the bottom. The top should come up to
an inch below the rim of the basket or tub. Next,
cover the Styrofoam with fabric, feather boa or other
covering. Glue or pin as necessary, to keep it
anchored down.
Drill small hole in bottom
of Party Bones. Dip toothpick in icing and slide into
the hole in the bottom of each Party Bone. Let dry on
wax paper. When dry, insert through fabric or boa
firmly into Styrofoam base.
Finish with
color-coordinating bows and top off with a gem finial
in the center of each bow. Beautiful!
Use Party Bones as door
prizes (shaggiest dog, most fashionable dog, lowest
ground-clearance dog, etc.) or ask all guests to
select one to take home as the party's winding down.
(This is a good way to gently suggest that the party
wind down if it's been over an hour and the dogs have
had enough stimulation for one day.)
Dog-Tails
From Nancy Furstinger,
author of "Fun Stuff You Can Do With Your Dog: An
Interactive Dog Book" (Doral Publishing), here's a
simple recipe for a fun and tasty treat.
The night before the
party, freeze chicken broth in an ice cube tray. Put
one kibble in each ice cube if you like. Break them
out at the party. Either put them in water so dogs can
dunk for them, or put them on the floor or ground and
watch the fun. This can be very funny for your human
guests.
