Today is our faithful, furry "child" Patton's 7th birthday. Kevin and I got PatPat right after we got married and he has ruled our household ever since. He is 100 pounds of pure muscle that thinks he lives in the body of a chihuahua. Patton is a great snuggler and a constant shadow to myself or Kevin as we move around the house. To celebrate the occasion, I whipped up what we call "pupcakes" this afternoon for Pat and Allie.
Yummmmm....pupcakes.
As soon as Ava got home from school, she went to work making a card for Patton.
After dinner, we sang "Happy Birthday" to the birthday boy.
Allie joined in.
Ava helped Allie and Patton get their party hats on.
They were not thrilled about this, but finally--success!
Starting to get really excited about the prospect of pupcakes...
Kevin telling them they have to sit before they can eat...
Watching dogs try to eat peanut butter is hilarious.
Patton and Allie loved their treats and we have leftovers so they can enjoy them for the next couple of days.
Here is my dog-friendly "Pupcake" recipe, if you are interested.
1 egg
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup honey
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease pan.
2. Combine egg, peanut butter, oil, vanilla, and honey in a large bowl and blend well. Stir in carrots and mix throughly. Sift together the flour and baking soda and fold into the carrot mixture. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes. Let cool.
**I mixed together peanut butter and honey to make a frosting for the pupcakes and then added an all-natural crunchy blueberry treat on top to fancy them up a bit.
Yield: Approx 10 pupcakes
Guaranteed to be a hit!!!!
