For the second year in a row, we are so lucky to have a furry, four-legged Valentine, our little Lucy. To celebrate last year, we made a stepping stone with Lucy's paw print for our yard. This year, we celebrated by baking some homemade doggie cookies for Lucy to hand out to her doggie friends. It was surprisingly, very easy and very similar to making sugar cookies. The dough was simple and only had four ingredients: organic and natural peanut butter, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and milk. I rolled out the dough and cut out in small heart shapes, baked in the oven for less than 10 minutes, and that was all! Lucy loved tasting the dough and having warm cookies fresh from the oven. Actually, they smelled really good and Clark thought I was baking him homemade peanut butter cookies. Given the ingredients, we didn't think it would be gross, so we tried them. They weren't bad, just very bland because they didn't have any sugar or anything sweet. Lucy LOVES peanut butter, and she LOVED these treats. We packaged them up and delivered them to all of her favorite doggie friends, but one in particular was very special. Lucy wrote a Valentine and asked Roscoe (the cute yellow lab that lives across the street) to be her boyfriend. We have never seen Lucy bond so well with another dog and we think they truly are doggie soul mates. A couple times last week, Roscoe jumped over his front fence and ran over to our house (he knows where Lucy lives)! When we take Lucy on walks, she runs over to Roscoe's fence and sticks her head in there to see if he is around. It is too cute to see their budding relationship and courtship.
Happy Valentine's Day!
