My Big Boy turned 2 years old on the 7th and we celebrated by having him a little Birthday party! We don't know Rudi's exact birthday but he was right at a year old when we got him one year ago on the 7th, so that's when we decided to celebrate his little "gotcha" day
.
I am sure some of you are going to wonder why Carmen our little Doxie is not in these pictures. I never posted about it mainly because I just don't get on here very much any more but our little Carmen got out the front door a few months ago and got hit by one of the neighborhood kids on a 4-wheeler she was chasing
. Since then we have taken in Cooper the dog you see in the pictures as a Foster dog for a local rescue. He has yet to find a home. I have to say I do not see how a lot of you foster over and over. It seems so hard getting attached. I mean it is obviously rewarding in that we have been able to help the big boy through quite a few fears but still it is going to be hard when a home comes along. We were not really ready for another dog but Rudi was having an extremely hard time after Carmen passed. Refusing to eat and being lethargic all the time. Pitiful!
Anyway back to the birthday boy! He thoroughly enjoyed himself as you can tell lol. I made his cake from a recipe i found on an all natural dog treat recipe site. It is a Apple Crunch Cake and I used Low fat Cream Cheese and Plain Yogurt for the "icing". I had a blast making it and it was SUPER easy! If there is any interest in the recipe just let me know and I will gladly post it
. It said that it can last in the fridge (without icing) up to 3 weeks and that it freezes well. The original recipe was for mini cupcakes.
