We’re big on celebrations in our house, and that includes the furriest members of our family! Roxy’s rescueversary falls in February, and Rico’s is in May.
I can’t believe it’s been EIGHT years since a tiny, bobblehead puppy came into our lives and started us on our journey with dog rescue. She’s so full of love and drama and we can’t imagine our lives without her crazy antics.
I mean, just look at that cuteness?! It’s no wonder why I couldn’t say no when the box of puppies was dropped off in our neighborhood!
To celebrate, I always make a “birthday” pupcakes for Roxy & Rico to enjoy. It’s an easy dog cake recipe I’ve made them, and they scarf it right up. Read on for the recipe!
A note on the crushed egg shells: this is a fantastic way to boost their calcium intake! I recently got an Instant Pot (I LOVE THAT THING!) and make hard-boiled eggs regularly.
After peeling eggs, I save the shells and let them dry out, or bake them at around 225 degrees until they’re dried out. I then crush them with a mortar/pestle (I have this one) and keep in a spice jar to sprinkle on their food daily.
This recipe was super easy, and I’m sure substitutions can be made. Next time I might try switching mashed bananas for the applesauce to give it some variety. Despite her tongue sticking out at me, Roxy LOVED IT.
