Will you be my Valentine?

No one likes to admit they enjoy celebrating Valentine’s Day… I will admit I love it! Whether it’s receiving a surprise delivery of roses and chocolates at the office or a romantic home cooked meal, every girl gets butterflies when her man says ‘I love you’ on Valentine’s Day!

I agree, love shouldn’t be bound to just one day of the year, but it’s awesome celebrating it on February 14th every year. Oscar of course has no idea when or what Valentine’s Day is, he truly shows me unconditional love everyday of the year. He wags his tail at me, he follows me everywhere, sleeps with me, cuddles on the couch with me, I even catch him staring at me with his big gorgeous eyes.

Yes, Valentine’s Day is a cliché, but who cares! Celebrate it!

Here are some ways to include your good looking pup in your Valentine’s Day celebrations…

Bake your way to his heart:

They say the best way to a man’s heart is through cooking-Well now is the time to bake something yummy and full of love for your furry love.

Milky Hearts

Ingredients

2 cups flour

1 cup milk powder

1/2 cup milk

1/3 cup melted butter

1 egg

Icing Ingredients

2 tbs cornstarch or rice flour

2 tbs water

1 tsp honey

organic food colouring

Directions

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. Mix all your ingredients together in a big mixing bowl. Once mixed, turn out onto a floured surface and roll your dough out. Take your heart shaped cookie cutters and cut out the cookies. Place them onto a greased baking tray and bake for +- 15 minutes or until slightly browned and cooked. Once the cookie hearts have cooled, mix together the icing ingredients and ice the hearts. Play around and be creative. Your pooch deserves some cute Valentine’s treats too 🙂 Let the icing dry/set, then let your pup enjoy his treats. Store them in an airtight container.

Have a photoshoot

Memories are forever, and so are photographs! Create cute scenes with props and outfits and snap away. You will be surprised at just how much your furry love enjoys having his photo taken.

You can use blankets and pillows, anything pink, red, black or white. Make a cute bunting of hearts, ‘X’ and ‘O’. Use chalk boards and write cute little sayings. Have him hold a rose in his mouth or sprinkle some rose petals on him. Use Photo Booth props. Kiss him with bright red lipstick-he will definitely love you for that one! Be in the moment with your pooch and have fun together creating memories.

Red, Red, Red

Live in the moment of love. Dress your pup in anything related to Valentine’s Day. A red collar, a pink scarf, a black jacket or white socks. Anything goes on this day of love! Then take him for a walk at his favourite spot so he can show off his Valentine’s gear.
