Mika's First Birthday

I can't believe that it's been ten months since I adopted my puppy, Mika Latte. And Friday was her first birthday.

On Thursday, I spent the day baking a recipe for dog treats, of which, I made the horrible mistake of tasting. *Shrugs* Mika loves them. Here's the ingredients:

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1/3 cup hard margarine or 1/3 cup butter, cubed

1 egg

1/2 cup skim milk

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

We planned Mika's party at the dog park where Nakia brought her poodle, Sassie (not to be confused with my cat, Sassy) The party, I can only describe in pictures.

Mama, what is Pooh and why is it on my head?

Cookie, cookie, cookie! Gimme, gimme gimme!

Thank you, Aunty Nakia!
