Today is a Big Day for Me!

Two years ago today, my parents adopted me! What a wonderous event. I'll never forget it. As many of you know, I had a sad first three years. I lived with a human who didn't love me very much. She forgot to feed me for like three months and she left me chained up in her backyard. One day, humans dressed in blue uniforms (they also had bright lights on top of their car - so strange) came by and took me from the yard. I ended up in a kennel with lots of barky dogs. I thought maybe this was some kind of doggie camp but I later found out that this was the Human Society of Huron Valley (http://www.hshv.org/). They took good care of me for a whole month until one day, my parents came walking through. Two days later, they took me to my new home. The rest is history.

Some of you may not know that I'm a bit of a celebrity-dog for HSHV. They took my photo while I was there and used it for their holiday card that year. Here's the photo:

In celebration of my two year adoption anniversary and my 5th birthday (that was last week), Mom made me some homemade cookies. We bagged up a few for my friends here in the neighborhood. Word on the street is that these cookies are close to sinful. You can see that I dig 'em!

Here's the recipe. You guys gotta get your mom or dad to bake these for you.

Ingredients

1/4 cup peanut butter

2 cups Honey Nut Cheerios

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup olive oil

2 eggs

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2) Warm peanut butter in microwave for about 1 minute or until soft enough to mix

3) Add rest of ingredients to peanut butter, mix gently but thouroughly

4) Form rounded teaspoons of dough into balls. Squeeze gently to prevent crumbling during baking

5) Place on cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown

6) EAT!!!!!
