Happy Belated Birthday Party ^.^

Okay here’s the scoop. ** Our roomate let us borrow his camera!!!! ^.^**

Originally I had planned a big thing for Squirt’s big day. I had thought about ordering a birthday pack for dogs from etsy.com, a birthday hat and all of that jazz. Then, I found out Squirt’s dad wasn’t going be able to attend, as he was supposed to be going away that weekend. Plans ruined.

So I decided to do something small with the dogs. We didn’t go anywhere because L is just about due for her next shots, and Parvo is making its rounds at the local dog parks As well I would rather just avoid any chance whatsoever of Squirt getting L sick or vice versa.

So we had a small thing. We have been invited to come meet a few other puggles in the city, but have not heard back from either of their parents yet, so we just had a two-dog party.

Squirt still has his bit of food agression, especially towards L so they didn’t get cake at the same time. L was stuck in the kitchen. It is so funny! He growls while eating even if she is in another room!

Anyhowl, we got home from shopping and I started making the cake.

We got the recipe from www.party-photo-favors.com.

Peanut Butter Carrot Cake

• 1 cup flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 egg

Mix flour and baking soda. Add remaining ingredients. Pour into greased 8″ round cake pan and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Let cool. Puree cottage cheese in blender for icing. Decorate with more peanut butter and carrots. When the toothpick somes out clean, it’s done.

**Note- you can also put the cake into little tart or mini pie tins like I did. Bake them for the same amount of time. I didnt put the cottage cheese icing on as Squirt hates cottage cheese and it makes his bum smelly at night

Our cake mix in the tins, Ready to go into the oven!

 

Squirt begged and begged for some, so we let him lick the spoon.

Waiting to lick the spoon!

 While we waited for the cakes to bake, Dad cut some watermelon. I knew Preston loved watermelon, so we decided to see if Squirt would approve of it. Guess he did!

Watermelon!

Crunchy Watermelon... Yum!

 

We waited and waited and then.. Cake was done!

Cake is done!

 

So we seperated the dogs and put Squirt’s cake on a plate for him. Look at him beg and want it, but he left it alone until we said he could have it!

PLEASE MOM

 

Eating the crumbs... must be good cake!

 

And then L ate hers…

Yum!

 

We got Squirt a new Tuffy Toy, A shark! It has lots of appendages for Squirt to rip off, but they are sewn seperate from the body so they don’t open a hole in the body…. Squirt stood on his back legs as high as he could for a good 5 seconds to show Dad he deserved it!

Now, a picture of L. She is no longer the whitey puppy we picked up about 5 weeks ago! She is changing color and getting taller. She is now 14 weeks old!

Look how big she is!

 

And now, the cutest picture of the both of them. Usually they are scrapping or playing tag in the house…. they finally tired each other out… and Squirt must love her. See?

Awe <3 Big brother protecting her

 

Finally, Squirt is all played out from his big day!

Licks and kisses,

Squirt, Mom and Dad
