Hey y'all!
I admit whole-heartedly that I am a crazy dog lady. In true crazy dog lady fashion, I threw a party for Ellie for her 1st Birthday this Saturday! I invited a bunch of friends from work who brought their dogs, making it a true "paw-ty!" I have tons of pictures to share (thanks to Meg!) so you'll have to bear with me for this post!
We had the party at Dalton and Will's house, who have a fenced-in backyard. This was the perfect place to let all the dogs run wild!
All the pups hanging out in the fence! Winston, Ellie, Duke and Otis.
Dalton and Will cooked tons of food (thanks guys!) so all the humans could have a party of their own. :) Being a true psychopath, I make homemade "pupcakes" so the doggies could try something special. (For any other crazy dog ladies, I'll include the recipe at the end of this post!)
The pupcakes before they went in the oven!
And after being iced and decorated!
Naturally, there had to be a theme for the party. I chose black, white and red, inspired by Ellie's fur and the color that looks best with it! :)
It's getting a little crazy, right?
In addition to the pupcakes, I got tiny little Blue Bell ice cream cups for the dogs!
I know, I know. Just bear with me.
Before our friends came, Ellie and I had a little photo shoot.
I love this sweet baby!
Once everyone arrived, we sang "Happy Birthday" to my little birthday girl, and all the dogs had a pupcake!
The peanut butter was a hit!
Afterwards, all the pups ran around in the fence, and the humans got to have their own party!
Ellie, Otis and Winston.
The stare-off!
All in all, it was a great day! The dogs had a blast, the rain held out, and there was tons of food. Ellie slept like a rock last night, and today is feeling very lazy!
Until next time!

Peanut Butter Pupcakes

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake tin with 6-8 cupcake liners (my batch made 8 pupcakes).
2. Combine egg, peanut butter, oil, honey, and shredded carrots in a large bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and oats. Add to carrot mixture and stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Fill cupcake liners with batter.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Take out of oven and cool on a wire rack.
6. Top with creamy peanut butter and a Milkbone, if you wish!
