Dog cookies

Thanks goes to Marilyn at simmertilldone.com for sharing this great recipe.
The photo above is of her finished product. They look good enough for people or what do you think? But she created them for her dog, Cleo:

"Cleo wasn’t feeling well. Our four-year old black Lab had a problem, in that special dog way of having a problem, the kind that finds you outside at 3 a.m., wondering how she ate a paper towel, a pen, six bagels and their bag. Of course dog owners know that goes with the territory, and messy territory it is. But a few years back our vet gave me some swell advice, the sort of helpful tip you never forget: pumpkin.
Turns out pumpkin, in addition to filling pies, soups, and being eminently carve-able, works a certain enzyme magic on stomach irritation. Does it work on people? I don’t know. My job was to get it into the dog. “Feed her a tablespoon of pumpkin,” he said, “mixed in her food. Or right from the spoon – if she’ll take it.”

She reports that these biscuits are such a tasty treat that dogs won’t even know they’re being fed something to settle their stomachs.
