    About Secret Life of Pets 2 Movie

    The Secret Life of Pets 2 explores the emotional lives of our pets, the deep bond between them, the families that love them and answers the question: What are your pets really doing when you're not at home? Terrier Max (Patton Oswalt) is coping with major life changes after Katie's marriage and the arrival of a toddler, Liam. Meanwhile, Gidget (Jenny Slate) tries to rescue Max's favorite toy from a cat-packed apartment with a little help from her feline friend, Chloe (Lake Bell), who has discovered the joys of catnip. And Snowball (Kevin Hart) believes, despite the other pets' teasing, that he's a superhero after his owner starts dressing him in superhero pajamas. But when Daisy (Tiffany Haddish), a fearless Shih Tzu, shows up to ask for Snowball's help on a dangerous mission, he'll have to summon the courage to become the hero he's been pretending to be.

        Yes, you can use wheat flour. I have not tried swapping out for pumpkin so I’m not sure how it will turn out but you could give it a try. Let me know how it goes if so.

      I tried these over the weekend and it is almost like it turned into granola…they did not stay together when baked or cooled…basically crumbled in my hands as I tried to pull them out of the molds. They still ate them, going to try again
