SWEET POTATO CHEWS FOR DOGS
Wash a sweet potato (yam) the really orange variety, and cut down the middle lengthwise.
Then cut long lengthwise slices about 1/3 of an inch wide and place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
Put in the oven at 250 degrees for about 3 hours. This leaves them kind of chewy but you could also bake them a little longer to get them crunchy.
I made mine by using a mandolin slicer for chips instead of chews. 250 for 2 hours but I had to turn them over.

whoops - hold off on making those chews ralphie! I got this from the Yorkie Chat list this morning:
"Subject: SWEET POTATO CHEWS FOR DOGS DO NOT WARNING
Absolutely do not make these treats for your dogs. We tried to make these a couple of years ago and sent samples to the nutritionist at UT for her to check for safety. She put them in digestive enzymes in the dogs stomach and these just swell and can cause blockages in the intestinal tract. We were disappointed because one of our members thought these would be a great alternative to greenies but they ended up not being any different."

I'm signed up for a research/survey program here in Cleveland. They pay very well. I participated in a mock trial. Took 2 hours and I made $150! The last one I did was music. I had to spend 1-1/2 hours listening to snippets of different music and giving my opinion. I made $75 for that one. You do have to go to their site (usually a hotel banquet room), but the money is fantastic and makes it worth the trip. So far, the farthest I've gone is 15 minutes from home.
Tom, you may want to see if there is something like that in your area. This company pays you in cash!

I went to a research/survey once & had a hard time finding a parking spot so was a few minutes late.
It had already started so I was told I couldn't participate. They handed me an envelope, thanked me for coming anyway.
After I left I opened the envelope,50.00 cash
I was never called again probably because I was late the first time.

I've been a member of pinecone research for about 6 or 7 years now Glassgrl. I love the surveys where they send stuff to test. You get paid for the first survey where they ask about the product,then paid for trying it and then paid to say if you liked it or not.They used to mail a check in about 5 days but now they've gone to paypal which really rocks. Never had a problem with getting paid fast with them. Great company !

Back in the 1990's I had a small marketing firm that provided research for high tech companies. Our toughest assignment was conducting a half hour survey with the CIO's of Fortune 500 companies. Our carrot was to do it around Christmas time and to donate $200 to the charity of their choice.
