July 14

I never thought the day would come, but it did. Today is my first birthday! Tad and Fig came over yesterday, and we started the party then. This was going to be an exciting day!

We went on the deck to eat the frozen frosty paws and they were better than I even dreamed. Some of you wanted the recipe, so here it is:

32 oz. plain yogurt, 1 mashed banana, 2 T p'nut butter, 2 T honey

It’s true dairy products aren’t good for dogs, but yogurt contains much less lactase than regular milk and the live cultures are great for your dog’s digestive system. This dog ice cream recipe is delicious and good for your pet!

Mix all these ingredients in your blender, then dump into ice cube trays, paper cups, or even a kong toy to freeze and serve.

My nose fit right inside the cup, and I licked and licked and licked.

Tad even had one, and he never gets anything but dog food and carrots to eat.
The frosty paws were easier to eat out of the cups, so we dumped them out and moved to the grass to eat them. Fig took a great big bite, and then this happpened.

Tadman stole the frosty paw! And then he got mad when Hannah wouldn't let him eat it. It's a good thing I have self-control, or this might have had an unhappy ending.

Frosty paws are great on hot summer days. If you haven't tried them yet, you should. Ask your moms to make some!
