PARTY : Pudding Cookie Moon Stripes

Hello.

Once again exams are round the corner, well, 5 days away in fact. But we still need to have some fun! Pudding recently turned 11 and since my family hasn't celebrated our other pups' birthdays for EVARRR so why not let them have a little party! Actually, I just want to put party hats on them and feed them cake.

It's a good time to celebrate especially since Stripes just recovered from surgery and that's a pretty big achievement! If you had seen the state she was in when she fell ill... You would be as amazed as I am at the rate she has come back to the pink of health. Our vet, Dr Chong, even told me I had to be mentally prepared as her condition was so bad she may pass on. Damn you corn cob! For those who don't know, Stripes had a corn cob lodged in her small intestine that made her so uncomfortable, she refused to eat or drink, and landed her in the hospital. 

I actually have a photo of the corn cob that was sent to me from Dr Chong, you guys can have a look if you're interested. The following photo is not for the squeamish, I'll make it smaller just in case someone decides it's too much to handle.

That's the corn cob and the segment of the small intestine that had to be removed along with it. I was pretty surprised that whole bit of the intestine had to be removed as well, but turns out it's necessary as the corn cob, being stuck there for some time, resulted in that section becoming inflamed. So to have the best chances of a speedy recovery, healthy tissue would be key to the healing process! We learn something new everyday. 

So now with a shorter length of intestines, Stripes' appetite has come back full fledge, as piggish as ever. 

Now let's move on to the fun part to get that rotten corn cob and 'san zam ba' image out of your mind.

PARTY! 

Doggeh cake in the making

Doggeh cake assembled and ready!

I followed a really simple recipe for their cake but I made some adjustments!
1) Doubled the recipe
2) Didn't double the honey so it remained at 1/3 cup. Don't think dogs should have too much sugar.
3) Used cream cheese for the frosting!

Recipe: Peanut Butter and Carrot Cake

Time for the pups to take the stage  c:

老大 Pudding, beaming her best smile even though she hated the party hat.

She already got at a bit of the cake earlier, I guess she's pretty pleased with herself.

老二 Cookie, being all indifferent about the whole party.. 

老三 Moon, our handsome boy with some cream on his whiskers

小妹 Stripes, our big baby that only had eyes for the cake.

Oh my goodness, it was such a challenge to get them to stay still for me. Let alone have them look at the camera when there was a cake in front of their faces. Patience is a virtue ~ 

I initially thought I could take a family photo with all of them in one frame, sitting still, hats on and all looking at the camera. I thought I was a wizard. I thought wrong. But these are really lovely individual photos of them. Captures their personalities quite well I would say!

Here we some of their greedy cake faces ヾ(●ω●)ノ

I think I did well with the cake, judging by how well it was received *beams*
I made it with love (* _ *)

And here's a little video I made of the day's festivities. ENJOY.

HD and full screen for best results hor

Couldn't have pulled it off without the help of some of my humans. My mother who helped restrain the cake hungry pups, my helper Ba Ginting who helped distract the big pups while the little pups had their turn at the cake and Jasper who helped me with photography and videoing of our little event (●´∀｀●)

Looking haggardly and squishy armpit-y.
 Toodle doo ~ Till next time!
