SINGLE & READY TO MINGLE MAN KIT

This was something I did back in January- this is a super delayed post. Also sorry for the terrible phone/Instagram photos! I sort of forgot all about blogging and these are the only pictures I have of this project. 

I made this for a friend who had recently got out of a relationship to help him get back into the game! He loves How I Met Your Mother, so I got him The Playbook and made him a kit of props he would need for each play.

PUPPY PAW-TY

Wow... I have not posted in awhile! Sorry all! Been busy with many things... including fulfilling Jack's bucket list. One of his wishes ( well alright what I assume he would wish for if he could talk) is to have a Puppy Paw-ty. 

We had it today and it was a delightful time! There was tons of treats for the pups and beer/food for the humans.

I made all of the treats from scratch and made doggy bags for my guests to take some treats home. 

DOG BUCKET-LIST

This post is bittersweet. Amy recently found out one of her five dogs has a terminal cancer. So she made this bucket list for her dog Jack!

This is a great idea to make for someone when they have received bad news like this to turn it positive You can also make some natural sweet potato dog chews, or some homemade peanut butter treats to go along with it!

Check out his adventures (not in the exact order as his bucket list):

1. LEARN TO SWIM  

 2. GO TO THE BEACH

3. EAT ICECREAM 

4. CHASE A PUPPY - I tried to fit in as much as I can in a day for him, so I invited Snoop to the beach with us! Jack is a big dog but adores chasing puppies, I had to find one who was super playful and bold enough to be Jack's chew toy. 

5. HAVE A PAW-TY

 6. HAVE A BEER 

7. EAT A BURGER 

8. HAVE A LOBSTER DINNER -- I switched this to Rib Dinner 

 

9.  TAKE A FAMILY PHOTO - This was the closest thing we could get to a family photo. Trying to get 5 dogs to sit together in one spot is tough! 

10. HAVE A CUDDLE PARTY - We actually did this all the time!

11. MAKE TREATS - We made tons for Jack's Paw-ty. Well, I made tons and he just taste tested them.  We made sweet potato treats, carob dipped peanut butter treats, peanut butter & pumpkin pupcakes, puppy donuts, apple bacon and cheddar biscuits, and a carob & carrot cake! 

12. HAVE A MEAL OF ALL TREATS

13. EAT A JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER - we brought a jar of peanut butter with us to the vet for his last treat. He pretty much ate the whole thing. I am so grateful to have gotten to have him in my life and spend the last few months spoiling him rotten. He was the most gentle dog I have ever known - especially for how huge he was!

14. DONATE TO AN ANIMAL SHELTER - Jerica and I walked the Furry Scurry in honor of Jack to help raise money for homeless dogs! I also donated to Fred's Fight Against Cancer, a fundraiser for a foster dog with cancer. And what amazed me so so much - was how great all of my friends and family were! Two angel like friends donated to shelters in honor of Jack as well. Thank you Sandi and Maria!
