@ossobuco,
Don't apologise, please - it was a lovely thought. Thank you!
I've never had a maternal bone in my body, so dogs have always been 'family' - although I would never call them child substitutes. So Megan is my 'daughter' and yes, she does like cake - especially a virtual cake! She does get 'naughty' treats occasionally (usually when my husband gets suckered in by her big brown eyes
) , but she's a trifle lazy and, as she's ten now, needs to be kept on a diet - hence the carrots and apple!
As for the peanut butter treats - mmmm - sound yummy!
