So this past Monday was my precious dog, Mandu's birthday. He turned 3 years old and has been such a blessing in my life. Mandu is the only pet I've ever owned so it's been a learning process on how to raise one, but he's already made such a positive impact in my life. He's taught me to be more responsible, more patient, and has shown me nothing short of unconditional love. Being a pet owner now, I now understand when people say they consider their pets as part of their family.
I'm not gonna lie...with a face like his, it's really hard not to spoil him and when a special day only comes once a year, it means that he'll be spoiled more then usual;) The past couple of years I've been baking a 'pupcake' for him, but I noticed that he'll only eat the icing part (made from cream cheese). The little guy loves cheese, just like his momma.
This year I decided to make something else and unexpectedly came across a recipe from Rachel Ray's magazine. Who would've thought? I could've easily bought a bunch of fancy biscuits for him instead, but to me, putting in the time and effort to make something for your pet (or anyone for that matter) just seems more special.

Those eyes. That nose. Dem ears.
So if you're also a dog owner, I highly recommend you make these. He/she will love them as much as Mandu did and if not, Mandu will happily eat them for you=)
Have a great weekend.
