Today is Duke’s 3rd birthday!! 🎉

I can hardly believe this little furry bundle of energy has been part of our lives for almost three years already. Time really does fly when you’re having fun! We brought him home just a week after returning from our beach wedding, and our home simply wouldn’t feel the same without him. Einstein would probably get a lot more uninterrupted nap time too! 😉

We’re so excited to celebrate his special day with plenty of tug-of-war with Einstein, chasing tennis balls around the backyard, and lots of extra love and attention—which Duke can never seem to get enough of. He and Einstein even got to enjoy his birthday cake a day early! 🙂

If you’ve been following along for a while, you probably know that I love making a new homemade dog treat or special cake for our pups’ birthdays. Over the years, we’ve collected quite a few fun dog treat recipes to celebrate these special occasions!

This time, I made Duke a simple and easy four-ingredient coconut-honey doggy cake. For the “frosting,” I used plain yogurt, and both Duke and Einstein finished their slices in no time—so I’d say this birthday cake was definitely a big hit! 🙂

Now it’s time to spend the rest of the day giving that big furry birthday boy plenty of extra snuggles! 🐶🎂
