Life's a Puppy Party
Recipes, DIYs, and Activities for Celebrating the Seasons with Your Dog
Our dogs are more of a part of our lives than ever, but it's still hard to find cute treats, toys, and accessories for them that you can make yourself.
When Heather Hunt brought home her dachshund, Dave, she scoured the internet for all the info she could find about being a great dog owner. And although she found plenty of factual guides to being a good pup parent, she was shocked that the fun and silly parts of owning a dog were completely missing—how to create a comfortable Halloween costume without buying a sewing machine, how to bake a nutritious barkday cake, or how to host a party for other pup friends.
Heather eventually launched TheDapple.com as a place to share great pet products and simple, creative activities for modern dog parents.
In Life's a Puppy Party, Heather has created a handbook for having fun with your dog. Grouped by season, it features easy, cost-efficient, Instagrammable, and vet-approved recipes, crafts, and no-sew costume ideas to make your pup a part of every type of celebration.
In this book, readers will learn how to:
-Bake an easy "pupcake"
-Upcycle a pair of old jeans into a cute bandana
-Throw a backyard puppy pool party
-Turn a dog hoodie into a dinosaur Halloween costume
-And make a dog toy advent calendar
This is a perfect gift for any dog parent looking for more ways to celebrate their pooch while giving us all something to smile about.

Bakers and crafters will learn how to spoil their four-legged friends in this cute guide to dog-friendly treats, DIY projects, and themed parties. Projects are organized by season: spring (Easter Bunny ears costume, carrot cake doughnuts), summer (Puppy Pool Party, a denim bandanna from old jeans), autumn (Pupkin Spice Not-Latte, various Halloween costumes from dog hoodies, and a Harry Pawter party), and winter (ugly holiday sweaters, carob sweets for Valentine's Day). The recipes are simple and clearly laid out; there are several varieties of festive popsicles (or pupsicles) made from yogurt and fruit. Craft projects use hot glue instead of a sewing machine, and include an in-progress photo and Hunt's dogs, Dave, a dachschund, and Elizabeth, a corgi, modeling the finished product. The recipes, crafts, and activities have all been reviewed by a veterinarian, and safety reminders about dog diet and behavior appear throughout the book, so everything can be enjoyed safely. Hunt blogs about ways to spoil your dog at the Dapple, and the sweet pastel aesthetic carries over in this collection of highly Instagrammable projects.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
