happy adoption day #1

happy adoption day, diesel!
my sweet, sassy, and faithful friend.


It has been a year since I adopted Diesel! So, we celebrated his special day with a PAWTY!


We celebrated his adoption day with new toys, and a homemade pumpkin puppuccino! He thought is was PAWFECT!
 
To prepare the pumpkin puppuccino, I mixed together equal portions of whipped cream and pumpkin. Into a cup, I spooned in the mixture then added a dog bone for a cute little topping. So cute! 

Diesel absolutely loved his pumpkin puppuccino! We will be making this an annual adoption day tradition. Looking forward to many more BARKTACULAR years with D
