Having your cake and eating it to...

2010-04-21T07:15:00.000-07:00

Today is Molly's 7th birthday! So I had to make her a cake, right? Actually I made 10 of them!

Peanut Butter Doggie Cupcakes

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup honey (I used 1/4 cup, which was sweet enough)
1 egg

Directions:Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)

Mix together flour and baking soda. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into cupcake cups and bake for 18 minutes. Makes 10 cupcakes.

Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting

4oz fat free cream cheese
2 teaspoons peanut butter
Mix until smooth.

I think she enjoyed them...

When is enough, enough?

2010-03-20T16:25:00.000-07:00

Molly has a few beds...and she uses them all.

In the living room. I call this her princess and the pea bed. I can always tell when she is not feeling well, she'll use this bed (it was Teddy's bed)

Kitchen, she likes this one when everyone is gathered around the table.

This is one of two Burrow beds she has. This one is in the den, where I do my bookkeeping, packaging, etc.

Her least favorite. Her "sleeping" crate.

In the family room, her Winter time favorite. It sits in front of the wood stove.

Her second burrow bed is in my studio. She likes this bed when I'm making beads. Plus she is able to see out the window. Very nosy dog...

This one really isn't a bed, it's the window seat in my studio. It's her favorite spot when I'm working on silver. Plus, it's got a view of the front yard, so she can watch the cars drive by, like I said nosy...

Calling all my four-legged friends (or 2-legged if you are a bird) that love Halloween!
I'm having a Halloween Costume Contest (on my blog) for all my "animal" friends!
Doesn't that sound like fun!

2) PLEASE send your photo to MY EMAIL ADDRESS, missmollygrimes@gmail.com

3) You can only submit a picture of your own pet. NOT ANYONE ELSE'S. sorry you can not borrow a friend's pet.

4) The deadline to submit your photo is Oct. 18th, so we have time to vote for the winners. Pictures will be displayed right here on my blog on Oct.19th

5) Prizes? Well of course! The top three pictures with the most votes will win something (my mom is working on that)

6) Please include your name (pet) and your mom or dad's name.

So what are you waiting for...tell your mom or dad that you too want to be included in this fun event!

Feeling Blue

2009-07-16T12:07:00.000-07:00

(Baby Molly showing her wild side)

When Molly is out and about, a lot of people stop us and ask, what color she is.
When I say, blue...they give me a weird look.
She really is gray, but they call it blue.
I remember the first time I saw a blue Chi, I knew I had to have one. It took me a year to find Molly. But she was worth the wait.
Famous Chihuahua talked about blue chihuahuas on her blog today.

A thank you note

2009-07-06T09:45:00.000-07:00

Dear Anthony (mom's other child)
I love my new collar! Mom says it's a bit big but I don't care...I think you may be a little confused though...my name is Molly, not Coach.
Love the color too!
Thanks for thinking of me, Love Molly

P.S. I knew you cared ^..^

Happy 4th

Dog Tired

2009-06-29T05:49:00.000-07:00

I'm dog tired from all the fun this weekend!
I think I had a peanut butter overload from all those cookies I served (serve one, eat one) but they sure were tasty, weren't they?!
Some of you asked for the recipe, which is so easy!

1-Have mom buy the ingredients (Peanut Butter Chewy Louie's)
2-Go to the cupboard
3-Pull out the bag
4-Open the bag
5-Pop one in your mouth and savor the peanut butter goodness

I'm off to lick (I mean clean) things up around here...
Come back around 3pm today for the drawing for the Custom Dog Tag.
I hope you'll be the "Lucky Dog" Winner!
Woof

Welcome my furry friends!

I'm so glad you could make it and you wore your party hat too!
How fun!

Won't you come in, don't forget to wipe your paws...

Pull up a comfy pillow or two...

Are you thirsty? Let me pour you a bowl of water...

Would you like it chilled or room temperature?
I prefer mine chilled...

I know you must be so hungry after your travels...please won't you try some of my special recipe peanut butter (dog) cookies? These are my favorite! I could eat the whole plate if my mom let me!

They go quite well with the water, don't you think?

My, that is a beautiful collar you are wearing, is it new?
The color goes so well with your eyes...

Oh thank you, yes, it's a new bead my mom made me for the party, she sure does spoil me...

I'm sorry, where are my manners...more water?

How about another cookie?
Oh, don't be silly...there's plenty!

Help yourself...

Excess me... Oh yes, the little girl's room is just down the deck to the left.
It's that big oak on the right.

I'm so glad you stopped by for my party...

I hope you had a nice time!

Please sign my guest book below before you leave for a chance to win a sterling silver (yes, sterling...only the best) dog tag (that my mom will make just for you, with your name of course, unless your name is Molly too)

My mom will draw a winner on Monday by Random Number Generator and post the winner here, so don't forget to come back...
^..^
Dog kisses to our host, Vanessa for a lovely party...

P.S.
Don't forget to stop by my mom's party too!
Maybe I'll join you over there too...
