Skye is officially 17!
She turned 17 sometime this year; her exact date of birth is unconfirmed. We brought her home on August 22nd nine years ago at the ripe old age of 8, so we know she was at least 17 a couple of weeks ago.
But of course it wasn’t official until she had a birthday cake.
It’s a savory cake made out of meatloaf and mashed potato “fondant” and I made it extra special by carving her likeness as the topping. I couldn’t get a good picture of her scarfing it down, but trust me, she LOVED it!
I was so gratified to watch her enjoy her cake. At 17, she’s already surpassed the life expectancy of her breed, i.e., the West Highland White Terrier, so every time we get the chance to spoil her, we gladly take it. I hope Skye will continue to allow us to do that for many, many more occasions!
Now, take a look at these:

Congratulations to Skye! We lost one of ours last week, and there are no words to describe how much I wish she’d make it a bit longer.
Thank you so much for including my Elote Enchiladas this week. I hope you enjoy!
