I think a lot of people had antsy dogs on their hands today because the park was hoppin’! We headed over to the less-crowded side of the park for several rounds of fetch.
I had a great time talking with some of the other dog owners, particularly a couple who also owned a vizsla. It’s nice talking to people who totally relate to the craziness of your dog and understand the breed so well. It seems like vizsla owners always have funny stories to share.
While at the park, I also fell in love with a Boston terrier puppy that had the most effervescent personality.
I wanted to take him home! He was a tiny little thing but had the biggest heart and wanted to love on everyone and play with every dog… especially the big ones.
I am a large dog lover at heart, but something in me bursts with love when I see Boston terriers, pugs or French bulldogs. I think they’re so cute because they look so darn goofy.
After our time at the park was over, I had one thing on my mind… Cookies! Yes, again. 
The cookies I made last night were good, but there was something a little off with the moistness and I was determined to change up some of the ingredients to see if I could fix the issue.
I think I succeeded, because these cookies were great!

I LOVE the brown sugar wheat germ cookies!! I had leftover wheat germ in my fridge and was so happy to use it. I’ve made them twice in two days and added chocolate chips.. Delish!! I love your blog 🙂
How many calories in this recipe and the peanut butter and oatmeal cookies???
I made a vegan version of these today. Substituted Egg Replacer for the egg and added a little molasses to deepen the color. Yummy! Thanks for the recipe and photos.
For anyone looking to make this with a butter alternative, try decreasing the butter to 4 tbsp. of Earth Balance and adding 1/4 c. flour. These cookies are my go-to and that seems to do the trick for me! (Too cheap to buy organic butter, and the only regular butter my grocery store carries is made with added colour. Enter Earth Balance!)
