Notes
Just remember that you shouldn’t be feeding your dog macaroons all the time. You must be strong and resist the puppy dog eyes that they will give you. You don’t want to end up with a chubby puppy. It’s easy to overfeed them though as they are such good boys and girls and deserve lots of treats. Maybe take them for an extra walk to something to compensate.
