Tired of the same old doggie treats. Try some of these homemade treats for your favorite dog.

Cheesy Bites

* 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
* 1 tablespoon soft butter or margarine
* 1/2 cup milk

Mix flour and cheese together. Add the softened butter. Slowly add milk till you form a stiff dough. You may not need all of the milk. Knead on floured board for a few minutes.

Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into shapes and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 350 degrees oven for 15 minutes. Let cool in oven with the door slightly open till cold and firm. Refrigerate to keep fresh.
