Ok it is party time for the pups. Just look at these adorable dog friends of Chloe!! I thought I’d introduce you to her friends: The other Golden, Tucker, is her uncle! The black and white Dog, Wilson, her boyfriend and the brown one, Franky, her other friend in the neighborhood.
So what to feed these sweet pups without getting them sick. I thought about buying Frosty Paws as a nice cool treat, but I really could not blog about them and felt a little lazy. I had made dog biscuits before that were well received too. A friend of mine had tried this recipe so I thought I would give it a whirl.
The recipe suggests a large cake but I made large cupcake sizes since I know they would not share nicely.
I then decided to frost them using some other fun flavors that my dog loves. Really she is not fussy she got into a bag of marshmallows in the back of my car this am….
I mixed some natural peanut butter, and non-fat Greek yogurt and a splash of honey for the frosting.
OK the party is over I am pooped!! Now time to open the great dog products mom got me.

Such a great idea to make them as cupcakes to each one can have their own!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who does this! I layer wet and dry food in a cookie cutter, then use some dog-safe peanut butter as “icing”.
Sounds like a great homemade treat. I haven’t ever made anything like that for our dogs. It would probably be better for them than the ones you can buy at the store though.
This makes me so miss my bulldogs! Great idea. I know they would have loved this!
Great idea! I really should make these for my dog – we didn’t celebrate her birthday this year. Better late than never…and now that I have a recipe, why not? Thanks for sharing!
