   Since they are small dogs, you can make them mini size bones, stars or triangle cookie cutters work great on both of these..

   doggie cookies:
   INGREDIENTS
   2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
   1/2 cup powdered milk
   1 teaspoon garlic powder
   1 tablespoon wheat germ
   1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
   1/3 cup bacon grease
   1 egg
   1/2 cup ice water
   DIRECTIONS
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
   In a medium bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, powdered milk, garlic powder, wheat germ and beef bouillon granules. Stir in the bacon grease and egg. Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time until dough is wet enough to stick together. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/2 inch thickness and cut with cookie cutters. Place biscuits 1 inch apart onto an ungreased baking sheet.
   Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm. Cool before serving

   Cheesy Dog Biscuit Treats
   Homemade dog treats are fun to make and healthier than many of the store-bought versions.
   I N G R E D I E N T S
   1 cup rolled oats (such as Quaker)
   1/3 cup margarine
   1 cup Boiling water
   3/4 cup cornmeal
   1 tablespoons sugar
   2 teaspoons chicken or beef flavored instant bouillon
   1/2 cup milk
   1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
   1 egg, beaten
   2 - 3 cups whole wheat flour.

   I N S T R U C T I O N S
   Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
   Grease cookie sheets.

   In large bowl, combine rolled oats, margarine and boiling water; let stand 10 minutes. Stir in cornmeal, sugar, bouillon, milk, cheese and egg; mix well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add flour 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to form a stiff dough.

   On floured surface, knead in remaining flour until dough is smooth and no longer sticky, 3 to 4 minutes. Roll or pat out dough to 1/2 inch thickness, cut with bone shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 325 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes on until golden brown. Cool completely. Store loosely covered. Makes 3 1/2 dozen large dog biscuits or 8 dozen small dog biscuits.

   Storing Dog Treats
   In general you should store dog treats the same way you would homemade people cookies. That being said, there are two main variables that determine storage time - the amount and type of fat in the recipe and your local weather conditions. If your recipe uses fats such as butter, or meat bits or juices then it will be more prone to rancidity than a recipe that uses some vegetable oil or shortening. Your treats may mold or spoil much faster in humid or very hot climates.

   Refrigeration and Freezing - Refrigeration will prolong the life of more fragile dog treats. Make sure to store in a tightly sealed container or zip lock bag. You can also freeze most treats in zip lock freezer bags. Allow to thaw completely before use. Kiki B

   For games Two Ball is fun. you have two tennis balls and a raquet. You hit one ball as far as you can, the compete forit bring it back as soon as they drop it hit the other one. while they run for that you pick up the other ball and have that ready to serve when they come back. It makes it not stop, not even for a few seconds. They’ll be tired fast, its more fun that regular fetch. ilovchicago

   my pom gets realy hyper when she’s been in the rain so maybe you could have like a small paddling pool

   as for the little mouths i have the same problem
   just buy a bunch of toys with small bits to hold on to like dog teddys where they can hold onto the ears or arms or those rubber chicken things. it’s realy sad that they can’t make squeaky toys sqeak poor things (;
   you could do like, catch the dog treat? and throw treats into the crowd then after give them all one each
