Synopsis

Life is good for Samantha Armstrong. She left her cheating boyfriend, settled into her cozy cottage on her Aunt Mary’s Palm Beach estate and is finally opening Canine Confections, her dream dog bakery on the ritzy Worth Avenue.

But Samantha’s happy new life goes doggone crazy when Palm Beach resident and pastry shop owner Whitney Goodwin is found dead on Canine Confections’ floor, whisking Samantha into the middle of a murder investigation. The only bright spot is that she finds herself adopting Whitney’s loveable dog Sweet Pea.

As the killer strikes again, it’s obvious that the shopkeepers on Worth Avenue are the target. Samantha’s impatience won’t let sleeping dogs lie. She takes it upon herself to move things along by padding around town with Sweet Pea and sniffing out clues to clear her name and Canine Confections’ reputation—before it is too late …

 

Includes a recipe from Chef Sarah Deters at the test kitchen of Three Dog Bakery, the original bakery for dogs!

Recipe

If you have a dog (or dogs), you probably have run into them wanting everything that you eat. At least that was the case with my two while they were here. If they were still here I would try this recipe for them, I’m sure they would love it!  We would just have to be careful of where they ate it because I imagine it might leave a little bit of a mess on the carpet.

FROZEN PUP TREATS

by Amy Hueston

Ingredients:

*Cooked Marrow Bones

Nonfat Plain Yogurt

Peanut Butter

1. Fill cooked marrow bones with the yogurt and peanut butter.
2. Put on a small plate in freezer for at least an hour.
3. Give to your dogs and watch their tails wag.

Extra toppings:

Have fun and keep your dog healthy and happy with the creative variations you come up with – try adding a couple of drops of honey or a spoonful of blueberry preserves. Search for other options of foods that are good for dogs and foods to definitely stay away from (no chocolate of course, and no grapes, either).

*Cooked marrow bones: Boil the marrow bones for 5 minutes. Give to your dog and keep the bone after to use for the above recipe.

Tube marrow bones fill easier but the small, “sliced” can work too. Microwave for 10 seconds if freezing makes them stick to plate.

Never give your dog bones that can splinter and even with marrow bones, never leave your dog alone with them.
