I’ve already told you all about the slight obsession I have with my puppy.
It’s hard to believe, but April marks Lola’s first birthday. To my surprise she really has seemed to mellow out a few notches, practically overnight. Could the puppy-to-dog transition really happen that quickly? Either way, I’m so in love.
Although we don’t know her specific birth day (she was rescued from a puppy mill at 4 months and didn’t have much paperwork), we kicked off the month with a big old treat. And, because she is my daughter pet, I knew just what she wanted for her birthday: DESSERT.
These doggie donuts were a huge hit for Lola (and all her dog friends in our apartment building). The base of the donut was actually delicious and totally human-edible (Sam and I definitely snacked on the piece that was “accidentally” broken.). Basically a granola bar of sorts. The pink frosting was made by mixing cooked beets and yogurt – and although this part of the treat wasn’t too appealing to the humans, it sure did complete the look of the birthday treat. And Lola sure seemed to love it. And, not to toot my own horn or anything, but I thought the veggie “sprinkles” were pretty darn cute.
