One of my friends is absolutely dog crazy. She is always fostering shelter pets, adopting rescue animals, and volunteering at shelters. She’s also studying to become a vet, and I can’t think of any job better for her. She is one of the most caring, smart people I know. Needless to say, she spoils her dogs rotten. The other day, I saw her posting photos of her dog’s birthday party. For some, that may be a little overboard, but I thought it was really cute (I’m guilty of buying my dogs Christmas presents, after all). If your dog’s birthday is coming up, check out this recipe by Christine at First Home Love Life for dog-friendly “pupcakes”. Be sure to read the post for the full recipe! Honestly, it looks so good I’d probably steal one for myself. Pumpkin and cream cheese? Sign me up!
