Since we don't seem to have spaghetti in the house we have to make do.

Is that real ice-cream or frosty paws? He looks great!!! And definitely enjoying that sunshine and the treat!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
Oh Manni LOVING a ice cream treat
! Slurp & crunch going on😃 Sally will love this!😍
For the record ice cream is allowed😉 Copied from the forum below
"Please post your entires below... (Tripawds on a grain free diet may, of course, substitute an alternative for the spaghetti)"🍦
I don't even know what frosty paws is!? ( but then I only sort of know what a puppacino is, too...) so yes, we only deal in real ice cream 🍦 😊 Cherry-yoghurt as a matter of fact, we don't go for anything less. Oh, the crunchy before the slurpy is a waffle 😊
I wasn't sure if that made a good substitute for spaghetti so it went here 😳

MANNI, ICE CREAM AND WAFFLES.....PURE BLISS 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Yes indeedy, looks like Mannie has you convinced ice cream is an important nutritional supplement just like my Happy Hannah did! 🙂 🙂 Such a smart voy! 🙂 🙂
MAAADE MYYYYY DAAAY!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Lots of love!!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
PS. A Fosty Paws is adoing frozen treat similar to ice cream for dogs. As far as a Puppacino(or Puppy Latte), Merry Myrtle will show you what they are and the proper etiquette for eating one when you get to THE Pawty!! 🙂
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Maaaaannnnnnnniiiiii!!! We COULD have the entree' round and now the dessert round!!! Despite the wind there was such concentration! Magnificent form! Perfect placement of the kissable snout and tongue! And such balance not to use the paws! Mannnnnniii, you are really looking good there kiddo! CharlieBear would LOVE to meet you because, he too, is an intent but gentle eater. DaBears HQ gives this 12 paws up ( RubyRoo deigned to vote as well). Huge hugs and PyrPaws all around Manni! Now, go ask for an entree'!!!
Anything makes a good substitute for spaghetti if we get to see Manni slurping it down! For a minute there I thought he was going to attack a giant pan of schnitzel 😉

I'm guessing "Frosty Paws" is a states thing! I always forget you aren't stateside. 
They are dog-flavored and in my opinion vile (don't judge - I tasted Shelby's once). Here was Shelby enjoying one celebrating her three month ampuvesary!

OH! Cutsie!!
Manni only took a liking to ice cream 3 years ago. Before I thought that every dog liked ice cream, but nooooo. Mr. Particular only started to go for it if it was yoghurt-something... on the up-side though: he has also always been very concentrated when chewing. No swallowing-it-whole deal going on here, which is nice. -And really cute to see him chew even the tiniest of treats 🙂
And yes, Jerry, of course he's had Schnitzel before... he's also the one with the sausage water... 🙂
He's been suffering a bit lately though because his mom turned vegetarian a few months ago... someone call animal protection!!!!

Awww Manni! You are relishing every single lick and bite of your delicious ice cream. And you do have the most excellent table manners, great focus and determination but also delicacy. Soooooo sweet!
Gorgeous pics of Miss Shelby Lynne too.

Oh, and I didn't know what Frosty Paws was either. Glad you asked, Tina. I thought it was maybe a breakfast cereal
