Happy Birthday, Lauren!

  Lauren turned 9 years old on January 20.  I can't believe this delightful girl is now a senior citizen.  It seems only yesterday that she became a part of our family and an important part of our kennel.
  We celebrated in the usual way--a bath for Lauren with extra grooming and pampering and special treats!
  I have a few dog treat cookbooks but I also like to try some new recipes from the All Natural Dog Treat blog.  For Lauren's special day, I chose the Carrot Cheese Puffs recipe.  I knew it would be a hit as it has one of her favorite foods--cheese!  Not only did Lauren enjoy it, but all the other dogs gobbled it down, too!

The finished treats, fresh from the oven!
