HOW WE CELEBRATED JACK’S GOTCHA DAY!

July 5, 2017 | 20 Comments

PB, BANANA & JELLY (BLUEBERRY, NOT GRAPE) ICE CREAM
(scroll to bottom for recipe)

Jack and his pack

I can’t remember how long it took before Jack became brave enough to jump up on the bed. He still doesn’t sleep with the rest of the pack but morning is his absolute favourite time of day. He dive bombs us with kisses and tail wags until my husband, and I are awake and in fits of laughter. Jack acts as though it has been forever since he last saw us and this is the happiest of reunions.

He is very polite and waits nicely for his breakfast and dinner – two of his favourite words. Other favourites include T-R-E-A-T-S and W-A-L-K.

Jack loves his brothers Henry and Ricky (Rooster) and his sister Reese. They are older and don’t engage in his attempts at play, but he is happy running around the garden and simply ‘being’ with his pack.

He is guessed to be around six years of age now. His puppy mill start is mostly behind him although there are still things that frighten him and cause him to become anxious. We will continue to work through those situations.

Jack is a sweet, fun-loving dog and it has been a pleasure working with him and seeing his abundance of personality come to light.

I am blessed to have these beautiful companions in my life.

To celebrate Jack’s Gotcha Day, I served everyone (feline and canine) a salmon breakfast. Shortly after eating, we went for a beautiful walk along the Lake.

Jack, Henry, and Reese spent the afternoon at the spa (groomer) before coming back home for dinner. While they were being pampered, I made them a surprise to celebrate the occasion.

This PB, Banana & (blueberry) Jelly ice cream was a huge hit! I hope your pups enjoy it as much as mine did. Oh, and my husband enjoyed a piece too!

PB, Banana & Jelly Ice Cream

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Yield: It depends what mold you use. See notes.

PB, Banana & Jelly Ice Cream

Ingredients

  • 1/3c all natural peanut butter
  • 1c plain greek yogurt
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1/4c blueberries
  • 1/4c water
  • coconut whip cream and a blueberry to garnish

Instructions

Blend all ingredients except blueberries until smooth. Add blueberries for a quick spin (I like to see the flecks of blue and purple in the final product, so I barely blend the fruit).

Notes

I was able to make six ice cream servings using my silicone muffin tray. Picture shown. Also, I made twelve medium sized dog bone shaped ice cream bars (another silicone mold).

Substitute blueberries for strawberries if you prefer.
