Mom shopped online a whole bunch last week. Now, packages keep coming to our house. Each one is a surprise. Mom says, “Yay!” and “I wonder what this is!” and “Stop barking at the UPS guy. He is our friend.”
One of the surprises was not even something Mom ordered. It was a gift from my bloggie- friend, Mollie. Her awesome Mom made me a bandana with cupcakes on it to match my name. I think I am very cute in it. Thanks, Mollie!
Sometimes surprise ideas pop into Mom’s head. She gets ideas from people-watching, kids talking, names, signs, games, shopping, the newspaper, driving, the park, the neighborhood, the laundromat, the garage, ….everywhere! She gets ideas from spider webs, eyeglasses, the broom, flowers, baseballs, the ice cream man, ….everything!
Once, she thought she was fresh out of ideas, but then – SURPRISE- something on the news made her think of an idea. She googled it, got more ideas, thought about it in her head and got MORE ideas, and now she’s writing it into her computer and getting even more ideas. Surprise! She wasn’t out of ideas after all.
One more surprise Mom found on my blog was that I FINALLY have 100 followers. 101, actually. After blogging for so long we thought we never get to 100, so yay and thank you to everyone who clicked the follow button! I wanted to celebrate with 101 treats, but that was a no-go.
What kind of a celebration is this??

Mollie’s bandanas are great, Doggy has one too, really cute.
Congrats on the 101 followers.
Doggy and I can look like twins in our bandanas! Cute!

Your bandanna is very cute – and I think 101 treats may be a little over the top, but surely you can have more than 1? x
Mom thinks 101 treats are a lot, too. She’s big on the number one. Bummer.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
My mom said YAY!!! too (think all moms are in a parcel-mania), you look gorgeous with your bandana!!! btw: what’s with this one leftover – is it for me?
I wish it were, Easy! That wasn’t one left over – it was the only one Mom would let me have!! She’s greedy.

Aww Cupcake, those last two pictures of you are sooo cute! (Well, they all are!) Don’t we all wish we could have that many treats?! Xxx
Thanks, Chani! One of these days Mom will get distracted and I will be on the treats like a vulture. My day will come.

Great post, Cupcake — love your bandanna. I love surprises, too, as long as they’re the GOOD kind. And I guess one treat is better than no treats…
Thanks, Beth! Good surprises are the best. Bad surprises could mean a bath. Yikes.

That’s a very cool bandana but oh, poor cupcake, only one treat after getting 101 followers – that just doesn’t seem fair! I liked your idea much better 🙂
Thanks, LongLife! Mom worries too much about my weight. She doesn’t want me to be a fat meatloaf with a tiny head. I think that would be a great look for me!
Love and licks,

Congrats on 101 followers, Cupcake! Personally, I am very surprised that you don’t already have 1000! 🙂 I LOVE your cupcake bandana -it is very stylish and also cute! And one treat is better than none treats 🙂
Thanks, Susanna. I liked eating one treat. That always means another treat is coming soon.

Oh girl, that’s to bad, I thought you ate 100 treats and left one for your mom, but anyway, 100 followers is great and there’ll be more, I’m sure, who doesn’t want to follow the most lovely dog, with the most lovely dresses in the world 🙂
Trust me, AngelsWhisper, if there were 101 treats, I would’ve eaten 101 treats. There would not be one left over.
