I've been woefully behind on celebrating the dogs' birthdays! Mosby turned 11 in July, Gemma and Ref were 2 in September and Claire turned 9 at the beginning of this month. While I wished them all "happy birthday" on their special days and gave them extra attention, I didn't bake them birthday treats.
Yesterday, I got caught up and tried a new recipe I had been saving for the occasion. With my granddaughter's "help", I made Peanut Butter Dog Treat Balls. It is a super simple and fast recipe to put together--even with a toddler by my side!
The dogs got their treats this morning and it was huge success! I think this recipe will be used for holiday gift baking for my dog walking clients.
Claire's birthday celebration isn't quite finished. She will be coming inside for a bath, then will become a house dog. I miss having a dog inside, now that Ben and Sophie are gone. I had planned on making both Claire and Phoebe house dogs this winter but will have to make do for awhile with just one inside dog. Even though Mosby is older, his coat is always so thick that he would find it hard to adjust to the warm house. I'm keeping an eye on him though, and Lauren, too (who will be 9 in January). Maybe if the forecasters are correct and we have a snowy and colder than usual winter, they'll be ready to be full time house dogs, too!
