People Treats
You can reinforce good human behavior with treats, too! Try these easy-to-make tasty treats.

Bone Cake
For a big bone, use a 9" × 13" or 8" × 8" square cake pan and four round cake pans. Choose three cake mixes you like (all the same, or make each cake a different flavor). Get four containers of white icing. Bake cakes and turn them out onto a piece of tin foil. Cut about 1/6 off the tops of each of the four round cakes. Square off the left side of two of the cakes. Put the square cake on your cake board. Place the rounded cakes at each end to form the bone shape. Ice the cake with vanilla frosting to create a white bone. (We added an outline of chocolate puff cereal to the top of ours. Mmmm!)

Hot Diggity-Dogs
Serve hot dogs with a range of special fixin's and assign dog-related names to the selections, such as "Cheesy Chihuahua" or "Pup-in-a-Blanket."

Kid Kibble
Offer a selection of nuts, dry cereals, popcorn, mini marshmallows, raisins, mini-pretzels, animal crackers, sunflower seeds, chocolate morsels, and other treats. Invite kids to create their own "Kid Kibble" or "Family Feed."

Pupcorn Bar
Pop up a generous amount of popcorn and offer self-serve toppings such as taco seasoning, Parmesan cheese, herbs, and cinnamon sugar.

Ike's Party Punch
In a punchbowl, blend 2 quarts ginger ale, 1-12 oz. can of frozen lemonade concentrate (thawed), 2 cups water, and 2 cups cranberry juice. Makes about 10 cups.
(Don't let the cat have any!)
