Birthday Wrap Up Time! I would like to thank all of my friends for helping to make my 9th birthday extra special! I had a wonderful day, filled with fun, fitness, food, family, and friends! Even little Bailie came through and made lovely cakes for me all on her own!
I received so many birthday wishes on my blog and social media accounts! I put together a small collage of some of my cards and ecards. Thank you to everyone for the wonderful cards!
My day started with Mom, Bailie, and I taking a two hour walk on my favorite route. It was lovely cool weather, perfect for walking in a fur coat as I do all the time! After our walk, I had my birthday breakfast of my usual kibble with an egg on top…yum!
Every year, Mom bakes me a special cake, but this year Bailie insisted on baking my cake. I have to admit I was a bit concerned as she has never baked alone before.
I was sent outside to the yard with a buffalo ear when Bailie started baking. She said she didn’t want to be disturbed and the cakes were to be a surprise. I didn’t really mind because buffalo ears are tasty!
Bailie got to work putting the cakes together. She decided on Pumpkin Apple cakes because of the cool weather and fall feeling.
Batter tasting is a real strong point when it comes to Bailie in the kitchen! She has a tongue that is about a mile long if needed!
Bailie decided on making many small cakes rather than just one big one, so she had a lot of molds to fill.
Amazingly, the cakes came out really nice! Not bad for a first try, little sis. I guess she is following in my paw prints in the kitchen. Bailie has offered to share her recipe with all of you! Click here to download a PDF of her Pumpkin Apple Cake Recipe.
Once the cakes cooled, it was time for a family birthday photo. It is so hard to focus on the photo with such a tasty cake on my plate!
It was so good, I had to steal another cake for myself, but this time I was going for the really big one! Bailie thought it was rude, but hey, it was my birthday!
My birthday dinner was delicious. I had my Merrick BackCountry Great Plains Red Recipe which is my favorite as it has wabbit in it, AND I got to have part of a can of Alpine Rabbit Stew mixed in! Talk about tasty!
At the end of the day I was completely exhausted, and totally happy! That is my birthday wrap up! I don’t want to forget to mention my birthday is also two years since Bailie moved in with us. She showed up at my 7th birthday party and never left. She is a gift that appears to keep on giving, and giving, and giving!
Bravo Bailie!!!! you have a paw for tasty cakes, that looks delicious! btw: is there a special trick to take photos with foodables& dogs? I tried it but I was not fast enough to take one before Easy had his whole head in the bowl :o)
We know to wait. Girls are patient you know. Not sure why we always cooperate for mom, but we do.
Emma your birthday was pawtacular as it should be! Yum those cakes look soooo tasty!! Mom said she may have to try and make some for me! Barks and licks and love, Dakota

Thank you. It was a great day!
I think we will have to hire you gals to cater our next birthday π You really do know how to celebrate in style girls
We love celebrations, especially with good food.
What a birthday pawty, Emma! Those cakes look mighty tasty. Thanks for the recipe!
They are awesome and perfect for fall with the pumpkin.
Emma you have a awesome birthday bash. Your cakes look so Yummy! Have a great day!
I’m a lucky girl to have a great family and great homemade treats.
Sorry we missed your birthday Celebration!!! Looks like you had a good one. Happy, Happy Birthday Emma.
Hugs, Bugsy, Knuckles and Lou
Thank you. I had a blast!
We are so glad you had a special day Emma because we think you are super special!!!
Everyone is special, but on birthdays, we are extra special!
Glad you had a great birthday, Emma! Yep, little sisters are the gift that keeps on giving!
I figured that out about little sisters pretty quickly. She made herself right at home, it was the rest of us that had to adjust.
It looks like a fantastic day Emma! Happy Birthday
Lily & Edward
I had a wonderful time.
WOW! What a fantastic birthday you had!!!!
α¦ husky hugz α¦ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Lots of fun, food, family, and friends…just perfect.
Rich in friends and in treats, what more could a pup want!?
A nap? I got that in too π
So cute! Happy birthday, Emma! I can see you had a wonderful day. You have caught up to Ace now – 9 years old!
I bet he will get ahead of me again with 10 π I had a great day!
Sounds like you had a super birthday! π
It was perfect!
Oh those cake treats do sound scrumptious! Mom saved it and hopefully, I can beg her to make some for me to try. I’m glad that your birthday was special just like you. β₯
It was a lot of fun, lots of good food, and a nice long sleep afterwards!
Emma, with my tail between my legs, I apologize for missing your birthday! It sounds like a great day so doubt if you missed me but mom feels bad for not sending a card or anything. Looks like you got some competition in the kitchen! Love Dolly
I’ve been training Bailie to get more involved with things, so I’m happy she took some initiative to bake on her own and she did well. We have missed you, but we knew your mom was out of town. Glad you are back!
What a great day, Emma!! And we love this recipe. Going to try it soon. Lilly likes to help mom out in the kitchen, I just like to snooze until it is time to taste test, then I am ready to help! have a good Monday, your doodle friend Dash
These are tasty. Make sure and steal an extra one for yourself when they are served!
What an awesome birthday, Emma! That was so sweet of Bailie to bake your cakes and they sure do look good! She must have wanted to show how happy she was she joined your family two years ago by doing something extra special for your birthday. π
She loves to lick and taste everything, so baking is a great hobby for her…self rewarding! She is thankful to have a place in our home, and I know she is crazy happy when she can do things I usually do. I am her role model.
Oh Emma! It looks like you had the best birthday ever. Maybe you should do it again next week? Naaaw, probably not. Anyway, I have to tell you I was a bit concerned when I learned that Bailie would be making your cake, but I have to say that girl did a fabulous job. And I absolutely love that last picture of you! Here’s to many, many more birthdays!
Thank you. I started teaching Bailie the finer points of the kitchen when she was only about four months old, so she has seen a lot and helped me a lot. She did a real nice job her first time on her own. My birthday was pawtastic!
What a great celebration – love all the birthday wishes and those treats…wow. You’re one lucky girl Emma.
Mom says I’m spoiled, but she doesn’t mind. I rather enjoy it too π
Happy birthday Emma! Wynston turned 4 on Friday and I threw him a super fun party on Saturday. Looks like you had a fantastic birthday!
How cool we have the same birthday! I just partied with the family this year, but that is fun enough!
It looks like you had so much fun on your B-day! Also, Bailie looks so cute in her chef’s hat! π
Bailie did a great job baking and had a lot of fun with it. The whole day was great.
Happy Happy Birthday! Hope you have a waggin’ good day! Bailie looks great in the kitchen =D
My day was pawsome and at the end of the day, I was dog tired!
Looks like you had a truly wonderful birthday, Emma! Here’s to many, many more!!!
I had Mama print out that delish recipe. Do you know where Bailey purchased the fun paw print molds?? We need to have our Mama get some of those!!
Smileys!
Dory
We ordered the red pawprint mold on Amazon, we have small ones we got at PetCo, they are just like the bone ones.
Wow. you sure were spoiled like the queen you are! Wondering, does Bailie make house calls? Would love her to come to my house and bake for me! π
Oh boy, be careful what you ask for. She would be licking the bowl and running after you to give kisses! She did a great job with the cakes I must say!
What a sweet little sister you have, Emma! She must love you very much! Happy 9th Birthday Emma and Happy 2nd Anniversary of Joining the Family, Bailie!!
Little Bailie does really love me and likes to do everything I do. We have a lot of fun together most of the time, but sometimes she can be a bit of a pain in the furs being young and wild.
So glad you had such a wonderful birthday! And those cakes looks delicious – Bailie did a great job, she’s really taking after you π
She does a lot of the same things I do, and she does the pretty well. I think because she looks up to me it is just what happens.
You sure had a great day. We had our mom save the recipe for us.
Millie & Walter
It was a fabulous day, thank you! Enjoy the cakes, they are super tasty!
It sounds like you had a fabulous birthday!
Thank you, I had a wonderful day!
What a cool party. I’ll have to make some of those cakes for Honey, Chewy, and Gadget – even Patches and Flash. Thanks for sharing.
Super easy to make and quite tasty too.
Those look very tasty and based on the quick peek I took at the recipe, I think it’s something I might try myself. π Glad you had a good birthday!
They would be human proof as well and they are super tasty!
Happy belated birthday Emma!! That’s a lot of yummy cookies!!
It is a lot but there are three of us to share them over several days.
Hi Y’all!
I’m so sorry that I missed your birthday, Emma! Nine is a big one! I would know because I celebrated my number 9 in March, as did Thunder of 2browndawgs.
Looks like you had a wonderful birthday! Belated happy wishes to you!
Y’all come on by,
Hawk aka BrownDog
I guess I’m an official nine club member now. I don’t mind it one bit and I did have a pawsome day!
Love the little pawcakes! Hope your birthday was grand.
