My Frenchie Muffin is OBSESSED with cheese. In fact, she loves anything that has dairy in it. That’s her favorite thing! Milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, ice cream, you name it, that’s how you steal her heart.
For my birthday in September I made myself an enormous cheesecake. Muffin had never smelled something so amazing in her life. She was literally CRYING so she could taste it. I gave her a little nibble, and oh my gosh! Her eyes became round as saucers, her butt did a cute wiggle and she licked her lips fiercely. It was clearly the best thing she ever tasted !!!
I decided to make her a doggy cheesecake for her 4th birthday in November. And boy, it was a HIT! Muffin and Teddy could not get enough of their super adorable dog cheesecake. They gave this recipe 5 stars, 2 paws up! Here’s the recipe:
