Happy Birthday...

to Lucy!  Lucy just had her first birthday.  I can't believe she was born a year ago.  I was going to have a little party and invite all her dog friends and their parents, but a lot of people were working.  I definitely wanted to make Lucy a special treat for her birthday.  I looked up some dog cake recipes online to make for her.  The one I chose was called "peanut butter delight."  It consisted of peanut butter and carrots...pretty much a pb carrot cake.  Instead of making a big cake, I decided on cupcakes.  Lucy being the generous dog that she is, insisted that I give them out to her dog friends.  So I did (as well as their parents who wanted to taste it...most liked the way it tasted...)  When I got home that night, after Lucy had her dinner, I let her eat her bday cupcake.  She LOVED it and licked up every bite.  I was also able to get her to "stay" for 5 minutes!  Which is why she is laying there staring at her treat... I'm finally able to get that command down.  Whew.
