SubscribeThe Big News broke while I was away training in Edinburgh. When I got home, at about 8pm, I was met by Joy, who had baked a surprise for me.
(The cupcakes are stuck to a glass chopping board with icing. She’s good, but not quite good enough to make cakes hover in the very air. Yet.)
I was thrilled. I took another picture:
and then we sat down to dinner.
When I went back to the living room to get the cakes for dessert, I found two things:
Hope, Joy’s dog, fast asleep on the floor with her head resting on half of a cupcake case.
And this.
Fortunately for Hope, we were all in such a good mood that we laughed until we hurt. (Joy made us go out of the room to do it, so Hope wouldn’t know we thought it was funny. She takes dog ownership very seriously.)
I ate the ‘C’. It was delicious.
Oh, I’m sorry but I laughed too – hope the dog did not have a tummy ache from too much cake!
Really enjoyed this! Dogs are such opportunists. If I so much as turn my back, one of my two will have their snout stook in my coffee cup!
That should have been stuck not stook. Not quite awake yet!
That is a very noble hound, eating all those calories so you wouldn’t have to. And she can read. She left out those letters so you knew that the cakes were quite safe, c/o Hope. Promote her to Heraldic Beast immediately.
So excited and happy for you!! Congratulations! And the dog eating the cupcakes? Well…the only surprise in my house would be that two cupcakes survived!
