Birthday Girl

Catahoula leopard Puppy

Today was my pup Linden's fourth birthday. After a large amount of contemplation, I decided to make her a cake, a dog cake.  I wanted something that she would like, but also wouldn't make her sick. I found a recipe online and tweaked it;
Ingredients
  • 1 egg
  • 3 Tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1/2 apple, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
  2. Mix ingredients together without crushing the apple too much.
  3. Grease a muffin tin or cake tin (size of your choice and dog size).
  4. Bake for 18 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean (be careful not to take out any apple pieces).
  5. Let cool for 3-5 minutes in the pan, then slide the cake onto a plate/cooling rack for 5 more minutes before serving to your pup.
  6. You may frost with extra peanut butter if desired (it's greatly appreciated by your pup, or mine anyways).
Dog Birthday
Well as soon as I busted out the peanut butter Linden started hovering around the kitchen. Dog Cake Recipies
I made the cakes into little tree shapes because Linden loves the forest and our adventures.
Dog Cookies
After letting them cool I dumped a tree onto a plate and started to "ice".
Dog Cake
A zip lock bag didn't hold up well under the thickness of the peanut butter, so I did have to switch to a piping bag eventually.
It was a little rough around the edges for my first time baking it but Linden still loved it all the same!
Happy 4th my Girl!

Three Months Free

For my Brother... Who I could never explain this feeling to, I hope this helps, and I hope you never feel this way.     Three months ago I struggled with migraines, chest pains and paranoia. I couldn't explain my feelings and everything hurt. I kept my anxiety/depression off of social media for years because it wasn't real to me. It was all in my head and people who had these things were weird and seeking attention.  Now that I am finally getting a handle on it I think it's time to share what it's actually about. (This leaves out bullying (School and religious groups), and work factors that contributed) When I was 11 I started to get chest pains, I had insomnia and random panic attacks about my family being killed or not coming back to my brother and I. Anxiety had worked it's way into my life in a very real way and was taking over my thoughts and my life. I stopped going to birthdays, social events and some days even school. For a few years after movin...

For my “Dog” People

Image
  Let’s talk about dogs for a minute.   There’s a lot of judgement about dog people, and people who aren’t dog people. I think that’s a bit silly.  Digging a bit deeper into dog and non dog people for a moment… Some people had dogs when they were younger and decided they were a lot of work, so they will stick with just one. Some rescue. Some try to have a dog and can’t due to underlying medical reasons. Some adopt other people’s dogs because they couldn’t find their own. Some have many dogs. Some foster puppy’s until they find great homes. Some have no dogs. Some just don’t like dogs.  What I’m saying is, if you’re a dog person that’s wonderful and if you’re not a dog person that’s also wonderful. But if someone isn’t a dog person, or can’t find that perfect puppy, don’t pester them. Maybe there’s hurt around losing a puppy that you don’t know about.  You just never know.  If you’ve made it this far you’ll know I’m not talking about “dogs”. It’s so importan...

FAQ

  Let's dive into the questions I get the most on a weekly basis! I do have a FAQ space on my website but I like to have things posted in more than just one spot so that they are easy to find. Starting from Least to Most popular; 1. Will my Wedding Photos have watermarks on them? NO. You have already paid for my services to capture your special day, this means that no watermark will be present on the high-resolution images that you receive from me. I do (with the clients consent) post some watermarked images on my social media for other couples to see, but your images from me are yours to print and share logo free. 2. Will we receive all of the images taken from our wedding? How many are included? Yes! I believe that clients should receive all of the images taken on the day (this goes for family, equine, lifestyle etc.). The number of images you receive will depend on how long you have allotted to have me at your wedding. Most of my couples end up with between 400-600 images a...
