The Mr. T's

Trooper and Toby

Here are Trooper (corgi) and Toby (pug). They are sibs in a really big duplex here in Stillwater. They love to play together. Trooper especially likes to play tug of war and then Toby joins in to team up with Trooper against anybody brave enough to pull against them.

They're a couple of cuddly cuties!

Who has the biggest feet?

When I pet sat my friend Duke, the Great Dane, We measured our feet together (see picture). Who do you think has bigger feet?!

Harvey's Adventures at Ellie's Bed & Biscuit

Harvey

Here's Harvey! He is a pitbull and Brittany spaniel mix that came to spend some time at Ellie's Bed & Biscuit! His owners were having some company and one of the family members was allergic to dogs, so he came to visit Pete and me. He is the sweetest, most gentle pit mix I've ever met! He LOVED getting shoulder massages and ear rubs. He and Pete had a wonderful time playing together in the backyard.We hope he gets to come back very soon to play.

I was just SURE I could fit through here!



Handsome profile there, Harvey!

Hill Cats

Over the winter holidays I was asked to take care of 5 kitties that live in a big house on the top of a hill with a Stillwater view. They all were so nice and most of them were quite friendly. They have a cool electronic cat door that rises when their collar magnets come close to it. So awesome! Here are their pictures:

Happy Birthday Riley!

On February 12th, I hosted a birthday party for my best friend's dog, Riley. It was really the anniversary date of Lauren's adoption of Riley. She is a cutie pie doggy! Here she is with her gift pile. Riley loves to snuggle and play with her pal, Pete. Lauren brought a cake for the humans at the party and I made a pupcake for Riley and her puppy friends. Here are Pete and Riley eating their cake, a picture of the pupcake and the people cake!

Here's the recipe for the pupcake:

Peanut Butter Carrot Pupcake

1 c. flour

1 t. baking soda

1/4 c. peanut butter

1/4 c. vegetable oil

1 c. shredded carrots

1 t. vanilla

1/3 c. honey

1 egg

Frosting:

1 T peanut butter

1/4 c. cream cheese

Mix flour and baking soda. Add remaining ingredients. Pour into greased 8" round cake pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Let cool. I baked my pupcake in a cupcake baking pan I found at Walmart. For the frosting, mix the peanut butter and cream cheese together and put in a plastic zippy bag. Snip off the corner and decorate.

The dogs loved it and even a couple of people at the party sampled it and liked it.
