Happy Birthday, Winston!

Today, Winston turned one year old!!! I made him a special cake with buckwheat flour, soy flour, shredded carrots, honey and peanut butter. It has a peanut butter and banana frosting, too!

Winston says: "Do I smell cake?!"

Carly, Winston and Elliott posed with the cake and party hats!

Then it was time to cut the cake!

Let them eat cake!!

All gone!

Winston received a Nina Ottosson interactive dog toy for his birthday!

It is a puzzle type game for dogs that allows the human to "hide" treats and allow the dog to think and problem solve to find the treats. The dog has to slide a tile or move a wooden block to get to the treat. There are also added slats to make the game more difficult. Winston had a great time playing! Since he loves food so much it was easy to get him interested! I used his dog kibble and he thought it was like fine gourmet food!

Everyone knows the best part of birthday cake is licking the bowl! So Winston got to lick the peanut butter "jar!"

Choosy mom's choose JIFF!!

Winston has had such a full life already in his short 12 months! He has tracked deer in the field, completed 3 training classes, attended several earth dog practices and been a loyal office mascot for Mark almost every day! What a great dog!
