Eight

Yuki had his 8th birthday last November and it was the first time I decided to make a cake for him. It wasn't a traditional cake like those available at doggy bakeries. That's because he has a weak stomach and I don't think it's a good idea for him to eat those due to the ingredients inside. That's a reason why I've never gotten him a cake before.๐Ÿ˜•
Sometime early last year, I came across a YouTube video about a dog celebrating his birthday with a cake made out of  meat. That gave me an idea to make him a cake similar to that, except with mashed potatoes, carrots and a little broccoli. Mashed potato made it so easy to mould the cake into the correct shape and it stays that way.
➽I just boiled a couple of peeled potatoes, along with half a carrot and a handful of broccoli in plain water. (Please don't add salt for your pups!)
I then drained it and mashed them together but in layers for a slight Color effect. I added the tiniest amount of water to the potatoes just to get them to stick together better. Too much water and the cake won't be able to stay in shape.
Anyway, here are some pictures of my boy's big day; although I'm sure he doesn't know it's his birthday.๐ŸŽ‚

I miss his baby face๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿ‘ถ

I can't believe I've had this fluffball of joy for 8 years already. I hope I have and will continue to give him the best care and love so he will stay healthy and happy for a long long time.
I love you my little one, my forever puppy at heart❤

Change

Found my blog today and thought of posting some snippets of my life. It's 2018 now and a good couple of years since my last post. Felt like posting about the changes in my life, starting with a good ol' revamp of my room. Decided to renovate my room last year so my S.O. and I started renovating which lasted August - September of 2017. We did 99.99% of the work ourselves, and for that we both feel so accomplished and independent, I guess. We removed everything, painted the walls, lugged all the purchases home, designed and also fixed all the cupboards, etc. Did I mention that my room is on the second floor of my house? #strugglewasreal
Those two months were grueling and somewhat horrifying due to the hard labor that was put in. Painting was so tiring as my ceiling is 4m high and everything was so heavy. I'm somewhat disappointed that I didn't take a picture of my whole room before the renovation so I can show how drastic the change is. All I have is a picture of one of my walls showcasing the filthy, gross and old paint job.
Here are some pictures of my new room.♥♥
➽Shoutout to my S.O. for sponsoring the whole renovation. *kisses*

Before painting
During Painting, used painter's tape for this.



Added steps for my doggies to get up the bed

Finally have a queen sized bed for my S.O. and I.
