ARLA'S 1ST BIRTHDAY
11.9.16
I can't believe where the last year has gone, as yesterday Arla turned 1!
We first met Arla when she was 5 weeks old, and took her home at 8 weeks and 3 days old and since then, Tom and I have been completely in love with her.
Happy 1st Birthday Arla bear!
 |
| Arla's 1st Birthday! |
For a lot of people, having a birthday party for a dog seems ridiculous and crazy, but Arla isn't just a pet to us, she's like our child.
I've wanted a dog my whole life and have dreamt of owning a Pug for the last 10 years since I was 11. Going through Bipolar and depression from a very young age I always knew having a dog who had to depend on me would be amazing as having a companion to spend every day with.
Arla has made a huge difference to my mental health situation and she helps me so much!
She makes me feel loved and wanted, she makes me laugh and has me to depend on.
She gives Tom peace of mind too when he's away with work that I'll be okay because I have Arla to keep me company. She's so playful and cuddly that we're like best friends, she never leaves my side.
I've been such a happier and settled person since Arla came into our lives and she gives me something to live for and to wake up every morning with her so happy to see me is so special.
So, yes it's a little crazy to have a birthday party for her, but why the hell not?
 |
| "Mum, stop taking pictures of me now I want to eat the cake!" |
I wanted Arla to have a birthday cake, but not just for the birthday party effect, but an actual dog friendly birthday cake she can enjoy with her puppy pals!
So I read lots of online recipes including Zoella's and created these adorable Pupcakes!
Arla absolutely loved them!
 |
| Pupcakes are a great idea to treat your pooch on their birthday! |
To Make 6 Large Pupcakes you will need:
180g of Plain Flour
90g of Porridge Oats
1tsp of Baking Powder
150g of Honey
1 Banana
2tbs of Dog Friendly Peanut Butter
(Available from Pet Shops)
150ml of Milk
Frosting:
2 Pots of Cream Cheese
2tbs of Dog Friendly Peanut Butter
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 180 Degrees Celcius.
Step 2:
Put all ingredients (chop the banana) into a mixer a mixer at a high speed until everything is mixed together.
Step 3:
Spoon mixture into cake cases and fill 70% of the cupcake case leaving some room for rising.
Step 4:
Bake for 15-20 Mins until fully cooked through.
Step 5:
Remove from over and leave to cool, while making frosting.
Step 6:
Put frosting ingredients into mixer and mix at high speed and whip as much as possible.
Step 7:
Once cooled, spoon frosting onto cupcakes and decorate with dog treat before placing into the fridge to set.
Step 8:
Enjoy!
Give them to your pet and see what they think!
Arla loved hers.
Pupcakes are a cute and healthy idea to give your pooch as a unique birthday treat!
Arla had a few birthday visitors and got spoilt rotten with lots of toys and treats that kept her entertained all evening...
But after all the fun, it all got a little too much for piglet and she slept like a baby for hours on end!
So cute.
 |
| "What even is a birthday anyway?" |
She was well and truly party pooped.
Zzz...
 |
| Done. |
Thanks for reading, and for all of the Birthday wishes for Arla on my social media you're all super lovely!
Lots of love,
Charlie + Arla xo

BURGHLEY HORSE TRIALS HAUL 2015
16.9.15
Every September in our Local Town of Stamford there is one of the countries biggest equestrian events, Burghley Horse Trials. It's such a large event that's held at Burghley House from Thursday to Sunday which visitors from all over the country.
What's fabulous about Burghley Horse Trials is you don't have to be an equestrian fan to attend but it's still amazing to watch! You can simply shop the hundreds of tents from Fashion to Homeware and all in between! It's the perfect place to start your Christmas Shopping with all the unique products and handmade items too.
This years Burghley Horse Trials started on 3rd September and I attended on the Friday; Dressage Day. I'd bought a few exciting and unique things from Burghley 2015 so I thought I'd pop a little Haul Post together and share my purchases with you!
I've got a stationary obsession at the moment and I fell in love with these unique designs from Clare Brownlow which animal designs are all painted with a pheasant feather.
I struggled to choose between all the amazing designs but I chose this design simply because all the animals uniquely painted from a frog to a elephant in the Procession Postcard Pack are just stunning.
They came in a Pack of 10 for £8.00 which I think is a really great price for such unique postcards.
I've got quite substantial collection for Postcards and Notecards now and I think they're so handy to have in a desk drawer for a special note or thank you card.
I've also got an addiction to homeware and interior design.
Recently I mentioned my Boyfriend and I had a spot of redecorating and rejigging our rooms around.
I completely fell in love with this Alpaca Wool Throw from So Cosy that's a sample of their New Collection. I manage to pick up this £79 Alpaca Throw/Blanket for £40 which for an Large Alpaca Wool Throw/Blanket is such an amazing price.
What I love about this Wool Throw is its versatility because although it's thin, Alpaca Wool is so, so warm! It's large enough to be a Blanket or a Throw but as it's thin it can double as a Scarf or a Wrap, perfect for Autumn and Winter!
We've been using it every evening as a Blanket and it's perfect. I had to have it.
As you'll probably all well know by now, I love Pugs.
I have a lot of Pug related items in my home but I'm lacking some stylish pug items I can actually get away with having in my home where they blend in rather than standing out for the wrong reasons.
This year at Burghley I picked up these stunning Pug Tweed Cushions from Grays Country Gifts which I just adore.
They're a classic and stylish cushion with the neutrals and tweed aspects with the stunning sketch of a Pug on the front.
I love the Tweed reverse it's no only perfect for my Vintage themed Bedroom but so soft, beautiful and unique. Soo.. I bought two!
One for my side of the bed, and one for Tom's.
They we're £19.95 each which is a great price for a large filled cushion with tweed reverse as per metre of Tweed material is usually well over £30pm.
They look so adorable on my bed and complete my cushion arrangement.
As I mentioned earlier, Burghley is the perfect place to start your Christmas Shopping to buy unique gifts for your loved ones. This year I wasn't Christmas Shopping but Shopping for a 4 Year Olds Birthday Present.
As Burghley is very country based there are some perfect gifts and present for children who love animals and farm vehicles. So for a tractor crazy 4 Year Old this Rain Coat is absolutely perfect, and only £25 on offer.
For most, Burghley is probably quite a way away from where you live.
But if it isn't and you love either shopping or horses - or both! - I highly recommend coming along next year and enjoying the festivities as it's such a lovely atmosphere and an amazing, different day out.
I hope you enjoyed my Burghley Horse Trials 2015 Haul!
Let me know if you went to Burghley this year, or have been before!
