Woofles & Biscuits Woofles & Biscuits is all about organic ingredients, our canine friends, and a young woman named Ashley who uses her abilities to overcome disabilities.

Woofles and Biscuits was born from a special bond between our daughter Ashley, a service dog named Donald, and his trainer Laurie. It was a blessed moment in January of 2015 that brought them together in a program called Champs – "coaches, handlers, and many paws” – where disabilities are peeled away and confidence begins to blossom. Born thirty-one years ago with Down syndrome and a significant c

ongenital heart defect, Ashley had open chest surgery at 3 ½ months of age and her first open heart surgery when she was just 2 ½ years old. Unfortunately, there were serious complications during that surgery and she acquired additional disabilities, including difficulty speaking and problems with her vision. She had a subsequent hip surgery and a second open heart surgery, both in her teens. She now uses a speech generating device and some sign language to assist with her limited verbal communication, and a walker to help her ambulate. In February of 2016, Champs handlers were given homework assignments to research their dog’s breed and report back to the group. Due to Ashley's disabilities, it took some thought to come up with something that she could execute as independently as possible and subsequently share. My idea was that Ashley could make dog biscuits that looked like Donald, a beautiful Golden Retriever. After some research, I was able to locate a cookie cutter in the shape of a Golden. I found a recipe for a pumpkin peanut butter biscuit that would resemble the color of his coat, and I adapted the ingredients to make them gluten free and organic. Ashley helped with making the dough, rolling it out, and using the Retriever-shaped biscuit cutter. We baked them, bagged them, and took them to our next Champs session. I then adapted her communication device so that she could tell her fellow handlers the significance of what she had made. Ashley moved around the room from trainer to trainer as she passed out her biscuits. It began with her head down and me supporting her arm and then shifted to her lifting her head, making eye contact, and passing them out independently. She began exhibiting such pride and confidence as she went from dog to dog, and trainer to trainer, so much so that I thought it might be worth making biscuits again. One week became two and, before we knew it, we were making biscuits every week! Our rescue dog Crosby has been our willing taste-tester as I have made modifications to additional recipes. And I have worked on the biscuit production so that Ashley can do more and more of the process with minimal assistance. They were such a big hit with the trainers and our canine friends, and Ashley was taking such pride in baking and sharing her biscuits, that we began hearing multiple suggestions we start our own dog biscuit company. So, here we are, thrilled to share our biscuits, always made with organic ingredients, always made without wheat and gluten, and always made with love for our canine friends!

For more years than I can count, we have received a painted pumpkin delivered to our door from our neighborhood “pumpkin fairy.” This year, rather than a fresh pumpkin, we received a painted “forever pumpkin” that will last well beyond this Halloween. So creative! It looks like a mischievous character mixing up some Woofles! No worries for Woofles customers. No mischievous characters baking at our house!

Thank you, Pumpkin Fairy! 🎃

Proud of Miss Ashley! It was a bit hand-over-hand, but she stamped two out of three bags! Anyone else want biscuits for their pups? We’ll likely bake a batch again next week. 👩🏼‍🍳 🐶

Three bags available! (I can’t believe I just typed that!) We hadn’t baked in months and months. The battle had become real and the joy was gone. But Dad and I got on each side of her today and gave it a shot. Motor memory kicked in and she picked up the stamper with her working left hand. She didn’t last the distance but maybe she sort of enjoyed it?? We’ll try again, so let us know if we have anyone left to bake for. We’ll try to produce a few bags now and then. 🧑🏻‍🍳 🐶
