Birthday Parties for Pets.

Pushkins decided to adopt us on the 23rd March 2012, by the 30th we let her move into the house.

We have no real idea how old she is, but the vets estimate around 10. The vets also said she was a he also.

Bob was adopted by us on April 23rd 2013, he was 3 when we got him and his birthdate was registered as February 2010.

We don't have fixed dates for their birthdays, according to my facebook memories, it's been on different dates each year and is prompted my the memory.

Some years we've had McDonalds, or I've made pet biscuits, or just stuck a candle in a tin of pet food.

I don't invite other cats or dogs or people, I tend to do it just to post a photo on social media and 9/10 I'm on my own (I get bored easily). I don't buy them gifts (that's for Christmas) and besides they've just had Easter.

We did one year have a party for the Hamster.

Home made healthy dog treats with #AnimalTales

I made frozen yogurt and peanut butter cup cakes and parsley, oat and peanut butter biscuits for Bob on Sunday, all low fat.

For the cupcakes I used 1 pot of natural yogurt and half the amount of peanut butter, mixed, put in paper cake cases and put in the freezer over night.

For biscuits I used 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of oats, 1 tbs baking powder, 1 egg, splash of milk, handful of chopped fresh parsley. Mixed in blender, rolled out, cut and baked at 200c for 12 mins.

The parsley helps as a breath freshener, but you could use bacon bits as an alternative.

Make sure you wash the blender/bowl asap, as trying to remove peanut butter after an hour was hard work.

I'll bring bringing them to the lakes on friday am for a doggie tasting session. I've tried one, they're edible.

And of course I let Bob lick the bowl.

Bob loves his biscuits

And frozen yogurt treats

Update on the stray kittens

It would appear Mum has finished weaning the kittens, I saw her on saturday on her own further a field than normal. My son only spotted 2 of the kittens on Sunday, so armed with a torch and a tin of biscuits I went looking for them, 2 were playing in the garden, climbing trees and running around. Our cat was happy with them in the garden and stayed curled up on the sun lounger with one eye on them. I gave them some food and thankfully the 3rd kitten turned up. 

They are less timid without their mum around and let me get quite close to them.
