MerseyGrey Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Buddy has been with us for two years today! I can’t believe how quickly that time has passed. In the two years that we have had the honour of sharing our lives, he has much improved with other dogs and we have met lots of nice people in our area because they want to stop and stroke his lovely soft head. We didn’t celebrate properly last year as I didn’t realise there was such a thing as a Gotcha Day but now we do know, we are celebrating in style! Buddy enjoyed his carrot and apple pupcake this morning (and this evening) and we are going to spend the evening doing Big spoon, Little spoon with belly rubs. Some pictures below from the last two years (apologies for the Instagram heading but I can’t always work out how to just post the picture! I’m a complete Luddite, and I only joined Instagram so I could post pictures on this forum - but look - I got another follower in between posting these pictures!)

MerseyGrey Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Thank you all for your kind thoughts and wishes! After the excitement of yesterday (plus another pupcake and bonus frosting) Buddy is exhausted and trying to ignore the thunderstorm going on around us. Bloody weather!

Would your mom share the recipe for those cupcakes? And knot to worry, paper is good fiber Certainly! Carrot and apple pupcakes with cream cheese frosting: Cakes: 200g/7oz buckwheat or brown rice flour 130g/4 3/4 oz grated carrot 75g/ 2 3/4 oz rolled oats (optional: 1tbsp ground flaxseeds, 1tsp ground cinnamon) _______________________________ 200g/7oz plain live yogurt 150g/5 1/2 oz unsweetened apple sauce (I used stewed Bramley apples from Granny Janny and Grandpapa John’s apple tree) 3 eggs, lightly beaten (I used large as the recipe doesn’t specify) ____________________________ for the frosting: 150g/ 5 1/2oz cream cheese 90g/ 3 1/4oz unsweetened apple sauce decorate with flaxseeds, slices of dehydrated apple or carrots or finely chopped fresh rosemary oven should be 180C/160C fan oven/ gas mark 4. Recipe suggests to use a 24 hole mini muffin tin but there was too much mixture, so I used a 12 hole mini muffin tin and a tin with fairy cake cases. These are sized somewhere between a mini muffin and a cupcake. in one bowl, mix the dry ingredients including the cinnamon and flaxseeds if using. in a jug, mix the wet ingredients gently and thoroughly mix the wet into the dry ingredients. Spoon into prepared tins (lightly oiled) and bake for 15minutes. (Toothpick or skewer should come out clean). Cool completely. beat/blend the frosting ingredients together depending how smooth you want it and smooth over the cool cakes. Decorate if you like, and these can be frozen for up to four months. The recipe is from a book called ‘Dogs’ Dinners’ by Debora Robertson and since this was so easy, I am going to be making some more (beef and potato muffins, a birthday cake, doggy breath bones) and I’ll let you know how they go and share those recipes if you would like them. Happy baking! Quote Buddy Molly 🌈 5/11/10-10/10/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the cuddle picture in his elf coat might be my favourite! He approached me slowly and just keeping inching into me and eventually he was nuzzling into the crook of my neck. He’s a big cuddleslut anyway but this was the first, and so far only, time he has done this. I might have to start smearing my neck in peanut butter...
