First I know that the Super Bowl is not until Sunday but I thought I’d have a whole week leading up to it (except Friday which is the Chinese New Year and I have a special post just for that). So T minus 4 months until our three musketeers take a backseat to the baby so why not start off Super Bowl Sunday week with a special treat for the three loves of my life!
Meet Nova – the baby (3 years old)
Then Hosea (the lab & my best buddy – 6 years old) & Then Millie (the other Boykin Spaniel, Nova’s mama, and Hall family favorite – 7 years old) And if you didn’t know we had 3 dogs and a baby on the way, yes we know we’ll have our hands full!
Around Christmas time I was approached by DogVacay Blog to cook up some of their tasty meals for the holidays but time got the best of me because of the gender reveal and all… But with the Super Bowl right around the corner we thought serving up some treats for our four legged friends would be perfect to try some of the dog treats they recommended. So it inspired me to make some of my own. And even better who doesn’t love the football shape and dog friendly icing?
