Mix all ingredients together and enjoy!

My Baby Turned 5 Years Old

Hershey celebrated his 5th birthday on August 13! I can remember when he was just a little baby and we picked him up from the little doggie shelter in Lexington. He was so small, he fit into the palm of my hand, and now he is right at 30 lbs! He is still as sweet as ever though!

For his birthday, we got him a new travel bag from thirty-one, embroidered with his name on the front. He also got a special Beneful meal and banana pupcakes, made with love by mommy. He is so spoiled! Hershey was nice enough to share his banana pupcakes with his favorite doggie friends.
