Pupcake Time! Cupcakes for our Dogs’ Birthdays

Vanessa — Tue, 04 May 2010 03:31:58 +0000

I can’t believe our babies are three already! Today marks approximately their 3rd birthday. To celebrate, Justin baked pupcakes for them! He used the same recipe as the creation he made for their first birthday, the puppy dog bone cake. This time he divided the recipe into three cupcakes. They were happy and gobbled down almost an entire cupcake before they started slowing down.

Check out the pupcake photo fest!

Last year we made them a sinister smelling cake with icky ingredients and bacon on top. I have to admit, the cakes of the peanut butter variety are more pleasant to smell and break into pieces for them. I think we should stick with this recipe from now on!

Waiting on Ruby – Getting her Cherry Eye fixed

Justin — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 01:39:41 +0000

Few of you have seen Ruby and her small problem in her left eye. She has something called Cherry eye – common and fixable – however it required outpatient surgery (in and out on the same day). Eek! There are two procedures that can fix this problem: one invovles the vet to basically push the third eyelid back in and seal it with a suture – this has a 80% success rate; the other involves cutting out the part of the third eyelid that is exposed – this has many problems that can occur down the line with drying of the eye. So we chose the first option. She will be forced to wear a new see-thru Elizabethan collar – not so sexy. Eve was so sad and constantly searching for her sister all day, Occasionally i would hear a deep sigh come from her and this is when this photo was snapped.

This afternoon tromping through the downpour in Forest Hills we saved a wobbly, still partially anesthetized, extremely hungry Ruby. When Ruby came home much to Ruby’s dismay, Eve kept running away from her. Ruby was desperate for her sister’s attention and comforting nuzzles, but Eve wouldn’t have any of it – probably because she was scared of Ruby’s collar. Ruby eventually gave up on trying to get Eve’s attention and settled for pets from Mommy and daddy. Get well soon Ruby!

Look at the beautiful cake Justin made for our babies yesterday! What a good daddy!

Also, the babies were really happy to hear the nice things Auntie Thao had to say. They can’t wait to meet and make friends with Gup! :)

Note from justin – Here is the recipe:
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/3 cup honey
1 egg

Mix flour and baking soda. Add remaining ingredients. Pour into greased 8″ round cake pan and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Let cool. Puree cottage cheese in blender for icing. Decorate with more peanut butter and carrots.

Sitting on my computer while working yesterday, I looked over to see both of my babies looking at me in this adorable pose. Luckily, my camera was on my desk, so I snatched it and took this picture. <3

Puppies Swimming

As you can see, the puppies are already fabulous swimmers and undeniably adorable in their little life jackets. They were immediately at home in the water and played in it constantly… I wish! – actually, they were swimming desperately for the shore!!!:) They enjoy the sand but the water, eh, not so much!

More photos!
Even More photos!

Living Tropically

Updates are scarce lately, it’s true. I haven’t had a lot to write about. I have been so busy with work and random other things that there has been little to no time to update the blog. Val! was in Paris last weekend. I still haven’t seen all the pix. Seems like she had a good time though. She went over and came back on flights Dao was working. How cool!

Justin and I are off to Puerto Rico for a long weekend. I still have to work tomorrow, but at least I’ll be doing it from an island apartment overlooking the ocean. It beats the heck out of chilly New York! And the puppies are coming with us. :) Yay!!!

Cutie Puppy Video

I know this is not good quality, but bear with me. It’s the first video I’ve really done with modern technology! I had to learn the essentials of video downloading, “editing” and uploading for my trip. Here are Ruby and Eve on Youtube!
