The Boyz, Gracie and Harriet enjoyed a blueberry and raspberry topped cake for Bernard’s birthday a couple of weeks ago.
As usual, the herd’s facial expressions were priceless:
After the birthday boy got the first bite of cake, everyone else got to enjoy too:

It was one year ago today that Ellsworth came into our lives.
We’ve had an incredible year with him and are looking forward to many, many more. To celebrate his fourth birthday, he’ll be getting Paco treats and lots of extra hugs and scritches. And he’ll be showing us where to scritch.
You see, Ellsworth has learned that he can show us where he wants to be scritched.
Mamma, scritch right here, please.
A little to the right, please, Mamma.
That’s perfect…
…but I’m just going to move your hand over a tad to exactly where I’d like it.
Umm… Mamma? You’re not stopping now, are you?
Pretty amazing, hmm? Watching Ellsworth blossom over the last year has been incredibly rewarding. We think the sky’s the limit for Big Red. ♥ ♥ ♥
Okay, Bernard, it’s like this… I point here and you scritch…
Happy Birthday ‘Worth! We love you so! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Lovey Baby Enzi’s birthday was April 23. I can not believe it was nine years ago this gorgeous puppy came into my life.
The puppy who was all legs and ears,
grew up to be my beautiful girl.
I love that she’s a diva. Might have something to do with the fact that her first car ride was in a stretch limousine. In the Bahamas, no less.
To this day, she still thoroughly enjoys chewing on a good shoe if I forget to close the closet door. I attribute this to her love of fashion.
I love that despite the fact she refuses to walk on wet grass, she gallops with joie de vivre through the pasture on watering days. I love that she always smiles when I walk in the door.
I love that there’s really no point in making the bed because she insists on being tucked in every morning as soon as we get out of it. I’m not kidding. And yes, her head is always on the pillow.
Even if celebrations are a tad scaled back from what they used to be when there were fewer children, there’s always a cake and ice cream for birthdays here.
And the birthday girl or boy always gets the first bite of cake.
The cake recipe:
Ingredients
Directions
Mix together flour and baking soda. Add remaining ingredients and mix well (it comes out more as a cookie dough than a cake batter). Press into a pie pan or tart dish and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.
