Dean's liver snacks

Well, I never got the pictures of my puppy-roni treats.  Really, they didn't turn out all that pretty, but the dogs sure loved them.  I decided it was time I tried out a new recipe for one of Dean's favorite foods.  Dean loves bacon and chicken liver.  Now, I've already done the bacon treats, and know the dogs go crazy over them.  I didn't actually use chicken liver in this new recipe.  We actually have a local butcher up here that mom and dad go to to get meat for the dogs.  It's a small place and much more humane than the factory crap you get in the store that's pumped full of hormones and such.  I'm not entirely sure what kind of liver it was, but we cooked it up in some water and I used the liquid and some diced and shredded liver in the dough.  Currently the dough is wrapped up and sitting in the fridge because it is way to hot outside to use the oven.  I'll have to get to that later tonight when it cools off.

Alright, so I also tried a glaze for the snacks.  It's just some egg white and 1 finely diced strawberry.  I was trying to make a red glaze, and I've heard that food colorings were bad for bogs so I just put the strawberry in.  Of course it turned slightly pink, but not red so I just topped it with pieces of the strawberry.  Interestingly enough my parents dog, a Husky Shepard mix, who only really likes meat loved these.
