THE BIG 8

Hello everybody! Pug said I could tell you how I celebrated my Big 8th birthday. 'Year of the Pink' is what he calls it. Yes, I know he is mocking me but I don't care.

It amuses me that Pug likes to make fun of pink, but got very excited when I asked my human if we could please go to the PINK cupcake store to get bite-sized cakes for my birthday. He became even more excited when she said yes.

The genius people at Cups and Cakes Bakery have a saying: if cupcakes are wrong, we don't wanna to be right. I don't think they or the cupcakes they make are wrong at all. Cups + Cakes puts bacon in their cupcakes and have excellent taste in colors. Both things are all right with me.

Of course my human insisted on shoving Nikon in my face before obtaining my birthday cupcake. And of course Pug insisted on posing for Nikon even though it was supposed to be my Big 8 birthday moment.

I did not mind Pug's posing, but I did mind him talking my human into waiting 10 minutes for the Cupcake Super Happy Hour to start so he could get a free cupcake.

Ten minutes is a very long time to wait for a cupcake. Especially on your birthday. And especially when it is Pug's idea. And very especially when someone is shoving Nikon in your face the whole entire time you must wait.

All the waiting was forgotten when my cupcake came. Bacon Maple (alias, Pancake Breakfast) was not on the menu, so I celebrated the Big 8 with a Killer Carrot cupcake instead. It was soft, a little sweet and topped with a blob of exquisite white goo. As Pug would say, it was Supertasty.

There was more celebrating, but that will come tomorrow. I overheard my human say we are trying to get back on our old morning schedule. It didn't work the last time she tried, but we've had no fog for three whole days so it might happen this time. Where there is sun, there is hope.
