Happy Birthday Loki!

Thursday, November 18, 2010 by Darla

Today I’m taking a little break from celebrating Harry Potter week to celebrate my puppy!

98/365 Handsome Pup Loki is a Bichon Frise, and he is a huge part of our family. Today is his birthday! He’s eight years old, and completely spoiled rotten. 🙂

I’m totally a bake-my-dog-his-own-birthday-cake kinda girl, so when I say he’s spoiled, I really mean it. This year, though, I’m making him some yummy organic cookies.

I recently found this Organic Dog Biscuit Cookbook Kit from the Bubba Rose Biscuit Company and couldn’t pass it up! It’s got 25 puppy friendly recipes that range from bad breath busters to good old sweets.

Plus, it came with these three adorable cookie cutters! Admittedly, though, Loki is about as interested in squirrels as I am…in his case, the third cutter should have been shaped like a steak or something. He’s more of a safe, food-in-the-bowl kind of dog than a chase-it-down-and-eat-it-raw hunter. It’s pretty funny really…a squirrel can run right by him, mere feet away, and he won’t even see it, let alone show any interest in it. Master hunting dog he isn’t. Although, I suspect he believes that he is solely responsible for the capture and disposal of the mouse that we recently had in our home. Not that he ever had any interaction with the little critter, but maybe the hunting instinct isn’t completely suppressed!

Back to the cookbook, though. Like, I said, it has all kinds of recipes, ranging from savory, meaty choices…

…to sweet and spicy cookies.

I haven’t had the chance to make any of the recipes, so I think I’ll be making him some tasty treats from it for his special day today. I think those “plumpkins” (above) sound perfect!!! I’ll definitely share the results with all of you too! Until then, happy birthday to my puppy Loki!

Have a great day!

    I believe that nutmeg is not safe for dogs. I'm sure in the quantity mentioned in the recipe it isn't overtly harmful or fatal, but why have them develop a taste for something that isn't good for them?

    Until last year, I didn't realize that raisins posed a risk to my pup and had been making treats that included a small amount of chopped raisins. Allie loved raisins– still does, and begs for them even though she can't have them! Now I check all ingredients in homemade treats very carefully before making them.

    Here's a couple of websites that list ingredients harmful to dogs:

    And when in doubt, double check with the ASPCA

    http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control/

    And…Happy Birthday, Loki!! You're such an adorable pup. And a very lucky dog!

    @Nicole – Thanks for the tips. I knew that nutmeg could be dangerous for dogs, but it's considered safe in the very small amounts included here. In fact, I also recently learned that nutmeg is also dangerous for humans, in large quantities (yikes)! But it's a simple subtraction to remove it (this is, in fact, the only recipe with nutmeg in the whole book). Crazy that grapes/raisins, as well as walnuts, are dangerous too, huh? Fortunately, neither are included in any recipes in this book.

    Thanks for the links and thanks for the birthday wishes too! 🙂

    What a lucky dog to have home-baked treats on his birthday! 🙂 More people should do that for their pets…

    Cute dog! And great idea for making your own dog treats! If I had a dog, I’d soooo do that! And now I’m curious as to how he got he name! 🙂

I’m ready for new adventures, new memories, more kindness, and lots of healing in 2021. Among so many things I want for you, I’m especially wishing you belly laughs, abundant pleasure, endless excitement, and great food in the new year. Cheers and  happy New Year, my friends!
I always knew that I would be bounding as Olaf tod I always knew that I would be bounding as Olaf today because he is the epitome of a happy character. But it’s not just Olaf...I’m also bounding today as @joshgad, in a roundabout way, because Josh has brought so much joy and compassion to people. Yes, with his portrayal of Olaf (and so many other characters), but also, and mainly, as himself. He’s such a joyful and kind person, it has been a pleasure laughing and crying along with him, and Olaf, this year. Thank you, sir, for making my 2020 more magical and joyful than it would have been without you!

I couldn’t pick just a Remy quote for today because the one by Chef Gusteau is one of my favorites from any movie. I think it’s clear from several of my other bounds this month that food is one of my love languages, and Remy and Gusteau totally get it.
