The cake is the best part, if you ask me.

They deserve a cake on their special day too, don’t you think?

Maybe they could even wear silly party hats too.

Oh… come on, you know you’ve tried dressing your cat or dog up in a costume, hat, or sunglasses before. Maybe you put them in a pumpkin.

It’s estimated that Americans spent $370 million on Halloween Pet Costumes this year. So if you think my idea of a cake for your pet is crazy, there are people WAY more crazy than me out there.

This cupcake pop is perfect for a smaller dog or cat. Just put a candle in the top and start singing.

That is, unless your pet is shy, then maybe hum the birthday song. Every day is special with our pets, they bring such joy to our lives.

No better way to show them how happy we are with them on their special day than with a cake, especially for them.

Jack and Charlie

I pray we will have many, many birthdays to celebrate with our pets and now a fun cake for them to indulge in.

Sometimes I think I even catch them dancing….

Well, maybe they aren’t dancing…..either way, we sure have fun with them both.

They are both indoor pets, but like to play on the back porch sometimes.

Today, we are celebrating Charlie becoming a member of our family as well as his second birthday! We are so lucky to have him.

I sewed him a neckerchief with cupcakes on it just for his birthday.

Please be sure the ingredients in the items you are using are safe for your animal. Xylitol is often added to peanut butter and can be toxic, so natural peanut butter is a better option. Cream cheese would be another item you could replace the peanut butter with if you choose to.
