Pink Saturday...It's Jessies's Birthday!

Beverly at http://Howsweetthesound.typepad.com/ is our hostess for this weekly event and the Queen of Pink! Jessie Bell is our sweet little Shih Tzu and we are celebrating her birthday this week!

Jessie loves to dress up in her little pink dress! Did I buy a special dress for her birthday? Of course not!--I bought it for Easter :) I think she knows it's her special day--she's posing. I instructed her to give you her dreamy faraway look--She wants to be taken seriously!

While Jessie does like her dresses--hats--not so much. You know, not everyone looks good in a hat. I understand. Hats are not great on me either and the apple doesn't usually fall far from the tree. I bought it at a darling store called Bark Avenue.

In honor of Jessie's third birthday, I baked her and a couple of close friends several small birthday cakes. Her green cookies were a gift from her friend, Tazee Mae, the Yorkie. Even southern dogs have double names!

Jessie is such a lady. She let her guest have the first bite. Taz wore her pink jeweled collar in honor of the occasion!

Jessie's Birthday Cake Recipe

1 cup white or whole wheat flour, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1/4 cup peanut butter, 1 cup grated carrots, 1/3 tsp. vanilla, 1/3 cup honey. Combine all ingredients. I baked these in greased creme brulee` ramekins. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. "Frost" with tinted cottage cheese.

I have one question---Do you think I need grandchildren?

Have a great Saturday!
