He's obsessed with them. We think it's because he's teething (as in, we've found little baby puppy teeth around the house), but it could just be that he's a weird dog-thing (we still aren't 100% convinced that he's not a cat). But for now, we can't go into the kitchen and reach for ice cubes to add to a drink without him looking at us with those pitiful little eyes.

Our chicken flavored treats turned out really yummy, though (according to Yoda) AND more importantly for this tired preggo- they were super easy to make.
Things You Will Need:
- Ice cube tray
- Chicken broth
- Water
- Shredded chicken
How to Make:
- Water down the chicken broth. We didn't use any specific ratios- I had a box that has been in the fridge for a bit that was about 1/4 full and I poured some water into it. I don't know if this is completely necessary, but I was concerned about the amount of sodium in the broth and didn't want the treats to be too salty.
- Pour into the ice cube tray. I filled them up mostly full, but not completely.
- Add a piece or two of shredded chicken to each "cube". I varied this per cube, some had more/some had less...depending on how big each piece was.
- Freeze for a few hours until solid.
- Pop them out and stick them in a ziplock to keep in the freezer until it's time for doggie to get a treat!
I'm not sure how many of these we are really "supposed" to give to puppy a day, but we've been giving him one chicken flavored a day and the rest of the time we just give him a regular ice cube (or an apple slice, carrot, or blueberry). He thinks the treats are super yummy, and I don't feel like I'm feeding him cookies all day!
