J-Terrier is 3!!

Jefferson turned three this weekend, so I baked him some doggy cupcakes to celebrate.  We also both walked him (usually it's just me), sprayed him with the hose, and gave him a "Busybone" instead of his usual plain cookie before bed.  He wasn't quite sure what to do with the cupcakes - or maybe was concerned that he shouldn't be eating them or would get in trouble - but after he figured out that it was ok for him to eat, he loved it.  And hung out in the kitchen right below the plate of them.  So, it was a good day for Jefferson, and we were thankful to celebrate another year with sweet little buddy! 

For the cupcakes, I sort of followed a recipe I had found online for a dog cake but made it smaller and left out some ingredients.  This is what I did...mix together 2/3 cup flour, 1 egg, little bit of EVOO, jar of chicken baby food (recipe said beef, but beef baby food is more expensive than chicken, and I figured he wouldn't be to picky :)).  The recipe also called for bacon bits, but we didn't have any, so I left those off.  Maybe next time!  Then, I greased a mini muffin tin and baked the "cupcakes" at 350 for around 20-25 minutes.  Easy and cheap dog treats for a special occasion!!
