Birthday -- Puppy Style

Yesterday Ruger turned 3!! I can't believe we have had him for almost 3 years...June 15th is the best estimate for his birthday.  We rescued him when he was eight weeks - so it is close.
August 10, 2008 -- we picked him up at a rescue shelter

   

 

Normally I buy him some Frosty Paws.  However, since we have been so busy going out looking at houses and with J being in and out so often for work, I decided to make him some special treats.

I found a dog cake and frosting recipe via google.

{Cake}

1 cup white or whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 tsp vanilla

1/3 cup honey
1 egg

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)

Mix together flour and baking soda. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into a ring mold sprayed with a nonstick spray for 40 minutes.

{Frosting}

Combine the following ingredients and blend thoroughly:

12 ounces nonfat cream cheese (room temperature)

3 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp honey

 

 

I know he is well trained because he wouldn't eat the cupcake treat off a plate even though the plate was on the floor and I kept telling him "Good Boy get your treat!" He just barked at it and laid down haha

  

SOOO We took it off the plate and he flipped it over lol

  

 

I gave him a little bit of time to digest before we went running an hour later -- he was a happy pup =)

This is the face I get when he wants to be let out or while he is waiting for me to take him for a run

Happy Birthday Ruger (yesterday)!!

Do you do anything special for your furbaby on their birthday?
