There is a saying that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. The same is true for a beagle. My humans, knowing this beagle's heart, decided that the best birthday treat for my eighth birthday is food, food and more food.
Note: this post comprises of lots of pictures of food. So, my fellow dog bloggers, proceed at your own risk if you haven't eaten. This beagle will not be responsible for any damage to computer keyboards as a result of excessive drool!
To kick off the celebration on Thursday, instead of my usual 1/2 cup of Innova kibbles for breakfast, I had a hard-boiled egg, with half a yolk. Mum said yolks are high in calorie, so she removed half. 
Unfortunately, mum had a project due on that day and could not make the special home-made dog treat for dinner . But she made up for it the next day with a homemade beef burger pattie. Mum says it is unbelievably simple and can be combined with the makings of a human dinner and muttered something about killing two birds with one stone (I don't think she meant it literally!).
Kess' birthday dog burger pattie recipe:
300 - 500 gm lean minced beef
1 egg, beaten
1 slice of bread, crumbed
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk
Preheat the oven to about 375 degree fahrenheit (190 degree celcius).
Mix the ingredients above. Use a tablespoon to scoop a large portion of the mixed minced beef. Flatten to a pattie. Repeat for as many as you wish to give your dog.
Kess' mama's meatball recipe
For human dinner, season the balance of the minced beef with salt, pepper and herbs. Scoop into meatballs/patties, as desired.
Lay the doggie home-made treat and the meatball for human dinner on a lightly-oiled tray. Bake for about 20 minutes. Let it cool before serving this healthy and delicious treat to your very excited dog. This beagle had her beef pattie served on a bed of sliced raw carrots and a slice of freshly-baked wholemeal baguette.
For humans, cook some pasta and serve with a classic tomato sauce.
The results:
Dessert was also very healthy - an apple, de-seeded. Apparently, an apple a day keeps the doctor (our in this beagle's case - the VET) away.
Burrrppp..this is one happy beagle! What a great way to turn eight years old.
A birthday quiz - Which did Kess eat first?:

Happy birthday (: sapphire's sleeping. i'm drooling ;p
oh which pic did u see bokeh? i'm using a nikkor 50mm, f 1.8 to get better bokeh effect. besides the kit lens, we also using tamron (17-55mm, f 2.8) and tokina (11-16mm, f 2.8). original nikons are too expensive.
say i'm thinking, it could be fun meeting up so i can have another beagle model ;p
Thank you for the drool warning, Kess. Mom covered the keyboard for us! What a birthday feast that was! We voted for the beef to slide down your throat first!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

I would have gone for the beef pattie straight away! So did you, didn't you? But, Cookie might have gone for the carrots as he loved vegetables.
