Monday was Pippin's 7th Birthday!
It's hard to believe 7 years have already come and gone with him!!! (We "adopted" him in October, but his papers had his actual birthday. I think he was around 8 or 9 weeks when we brought him home.) We used to think he was high maintenance - HA! Or that he was good practice for a kiddo - Double HA!
We always make a big deal of his birthday. In the past I've ordered cakes, but the last several years I've just made dog friendly cakes. This one was just carrots, peanut butter, honey, plain flour, an egg and baking soda. For "icing" I just use plain peanut butter and decorate with his kibble.
He LOVES it! I promise every year he knows when the cake I'm making is for him. Brent says it's because he knows when his birthday is. I don't think he's THAT smart!
Of course we sang happy birthday to him and all wore our party hats. The party hats are in some of Lilli's dress up baskets, so we wear them a LOT. Monday they just happened to be appropriate!
Getting ready to dig in!
Poor guy had to deal with little sis being in his cake. Once she started to dive face first into it and eat a piece. We let him lick and eat on it for a few minutes before just cutting him a piece. Naturally when I cut it into pieces Lilli grabbed one before I could stop her and ate it. It must be good because she asked for more and Pippin loved it!
Get out of my cake kid!
She would just watch him and watch him. She loves to feed him and he ends up being hand fed a LOT of her snacks and meals.
Then she started dragging his plate around. So jealous of the attention he was receiving!
She is such a mess!
Then she got a little personal with him!
Minus the little sister bugging I'd say Pippin had a great 7th birthday! He's still eating on his cake, a little each day. We also got him some frozen doggie treats (kind of like ice cream for dogs) from Publix. It's peanut butter flavored and I know he's going to go WILD for it!
