A Doggie Birthday Party

This past November our oldest dog, Chrissie, turned eleven human years old. She's been pretty sick these past few years, with several bouts of pancreatitis, leaving her now suffering with diabetes. She's also become partially blind, and I suspect, slightly deaf (or maybe she's just playing dumb...).

I wanted to have a little party for her with her little sisters, Mela and Snickers. I made her a doggie cake, inspired by this recipe found on Pinterest.

Mine didn't turn out like the picture (most things I make don't...) but the dogs absolutely loved it.

It contained an peanut butter, vanilla, shredded carrots, an egg, oil, flour, and baking soda- real easy to make. We already had all the ingredients I needed.

It came out of the pan really crumbly; I think I baked it too long in too big of a pan. The dogs honestly didn't care. It smelled yummy, and they were going nuts.

Lacie and I put a candle in it and sang Happy Birthday to her. She was going crazy cause she could smell the delicious goodness.

We didn't actually light the candle for obvious reasons. Our dogs are a bit too hyper to be near fire.

The dogs all scarfed their plate of cake down. They ate almost the entire thing during the week to follow. Snickers (who is a very picky eater) LOVED it and actually wouldn't eat her dinner unless there was a little bit of cake sprinkled all over her kibble. They were very disappointed when there wasn't any cake left.

I need to make this again.
