Casey's Birthday Cake

Casey is an Australian Shepherd owned and loved by my friend and training partner Debbie. Casey has had a paw in the socializing of Ardi, Kitt and Reese , and played flyball with Kate and Roxy.

Yesterday, April 14, 2009 Casey turned 14 years old. This is his special Birthday Cake served on an official Canadian Disc Dog Frisbee and specially made by John. The great thing about this cake is that it can be enjoyed by people and dogs alike. (one side has dog cookies, the other people crackers)



LIVER PATE' (CHICKEN)
1 lb. chicken livers
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. minced onions (or shallots – better yet)
1/8 tsp. tarragon leaves
1/4 c. butter
1/8 tsp. whole thyme leaves
1/4 c. Cognac or Brandy
1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. whipping cream
1/2 tsp. salt

Saute livers and onions in 1/4 cup butter over low heat until livers are lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside. Pour cognac into same skillet and simmer until reduced to 2 tablespoons. Combine livers, onions, cognac, cream and seasonings; pour into container of food processor.
Process for 30 seconds or until smooth. Add 1/2 cup butter and process until smooth. Pour mixture into an oiled 3 cups bowl; chill several hours or overnight. Unmold pate' and serve with crackers.

Awww, that's so nice Patti. Thanks so much for putting Casey's birthday on your blog.

He is a special boy and we've had great fun over the years training with you and all of your wonderful dogs.
