{That's Spike on the left and Bluebell on the right. This is the day after we adopted them.}
Yes, they are adorable, but they also came home from the shelter quite sick. (They looked fine to us.) Let's just say, we've gotten to know our vet quite well over the last two months. I won't go into all of the gory details...and they are fine now...but I will tell you, one almost died and the other developed a nasty eye infection and had to have an eye removed. (OK...I went into the gory details.)
So, you can see why we've come to love our vet and the staff at the clinic. They've taken such good care of our little ones and I wanted to make them some cookies.
But, what to make for a vet's office? Do they really want to EAT a cat or dog cookie? It seems wrong. Hearts, too personal. Paw prints, not special enough.
Here's what we came up with...bees!
{The inspiration for these comes from an old Martha Stewart Kids magazine....best magazine there ever was!}
Yes, I enclosed a goofy note saying, "Thank you for BEEing sweet to Spike & Bluebell." :)
Aww, they are adorable! So glad they are feeling better now and that you have such a great vet. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt makes me so happy to hear that you have taken such wonderful care of these kittens!!!! They would be helpless without you and I'm sure they will give you lots of love as a thank you!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look perfect for the vet's office. I'm sure they'll eat them all up!
These are bee-utiful! I couldn't resist! Isn't adopting animals one of the best feelings ever? We have two dogs that would have lost their lives and they are the center of our lives.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your blog - just found it a few days ago! I'll be back every day.
Awww.... love the little kitties! So nice of you to create the cookies special for your vet's office - I am sure they appreciate that kind gesture tremendously! I too love kitty cats and yours are just precious and I love the names! Thanks for sharing! Love your blog! Hugs, Trac~ :o)

Gorgeous cookies. Love them. What cookie cutter did you use? Also, I would love to see how you package your cookies when you are giving them as a gift? Do you have pics?
ReplyDeleteMommaBlogger...it was our sweet girl, Bluebell.
ReplyDeleteMandy & Betsy...yep, I used my pumpkin cutter. :)
Betsy...I don't have any pictures, but I will take some. Great idea. I have a stash of pink bakery boxes that I like to use. :)

ReplyDeleteI'm sure they were thrilled with those cookies! Who wouldn't bee? (couldn't resist)
ReplyDeleteyour kitties are too cute, someone needs to bake you some cookies for beeing so sweet to adopt them!!

ReplyDeletewowowo they look so cute! You did a great job and it is a great way to thank the vet!
ReplyDeleteThose kittens are adorable. I'm sorry you had to go through all the worry of them being sick, but I am so glad they are doing better! You are so sweet to take such good care of them. And thank goodness for great vets! The cookies look perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe kitties are sooo cute. Sad that one lost an eye, but they're lucky to have found a family that is willing to go the extra mile for them.
ReplyDeleteIncluding making super adorable bee cookies for their doctors.
Kudos to you!!
You need to show pictures of them all grown up now.
those kitties are TOO cute!! as are the cookies you made to thank your vet - perfect gift :)
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of making cookies for your vet. Our two little kitties have had their share of appts. recently, too. Maybe I'll bring the vet a six-pack, as I doubt my baking efforts would go over very well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cookies!Yum
