It’s FINALLY spring around here – complete with warm air and tulips at the park. Actually there are some crazy thunderstorms and flash floods, too. Next stop – Butterflies.
Soon it will FINALLY be tennis season. Actually, I don’t play and Mom doesn’t either, but I’m pretty sure that other people do. I have a tennis dress and a tennis ball, so I will look good while I’m not playing.
Next stop – Mom will probably try to teach me to hold a racket.
And by the way… FINALLY, Mom has Book #2 out for people to read.
Actually, it’s not the Book #2 she was hoping for. It’s her story in Humpty Dumpty Magazine! They made it the May/June Build a Book Activity.
When kids tear out the page and follow the directions – cut the dotted lines / fold the solid lines – bing, bang, boom, Book #2. Yay!
Next stop – Book #3. Wait. What??

Mollie and Alfie
Thanks, Mollie! I sure do love a pajama party!
Love and licks,

Your mom is not only very-very creative and clever but she has the most inspirational and cutest Muse of the world! I think you should try your nice two-tone colors nails on the strings of a tennis racket. It might be big fun (for you)!
Awwww. Thanks, K. I’m pretty sure I’d be afraid of a tennis racket. But I do think it would make my black and white nails look beautiful.
Love and licks,
C
You will definitely look good while you’re not playing tennis, Cupcake! But then, you always look good š Congratulations to your mom on Book #2! It is an honor to have been chosen for the book activity, even if it’s not quite what she had in mind, and I have no doubt the real Book #2 will be picked up any time now! š
Thanks, S. You have a good, positive message. Mom and I are feeling hopeful from this karma.
Love and licks,
C
What a beautiful yellow tennis dress Cupcake! You look so very Springy – like a cupcake with lemon icing on it! Congratulations to your Mom on being chosen for the book activity (which looks like tons of fun by the way) and I’m sure her Book #2 will be on its way to print SOON! Paws crossed……….see you at the pawty!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Thanks, Sammy! I’ve never had lemon icing before, but I’m pretty sure i LIKE it! Your pajama party is tons of fun.

Yay for your mumma, how clever she is! Give her a cuddle from us to congratulate her. A build a book sounds like lots of fun. xox
Thanks, BR2B. When Mom isn’t looking, I’m going to taste the build a book.
Love and licks,

YAY!!!
Erik
P.S. You look adorable in your dress! š
Thanks, Erik! Adorable!?? Double yay!
Love and licks,

What a cool way to score book #2! Now you will have two book #2ās when some publisher finally comes to his/her/their senses! In the meantime, hurray for Humpty Dumpty have some of that good judgement. Congratulations. Go get those tennis balls, girl!
Thanks, G. Humpty Dumpty is our new favorite magazine!
Love and licks,
C
you look BEEEEAAAUTIFUL in your tennis dress! It is always important to have a tennis dress whether we play or not!
CONGRATS to your mom on her book!! How wonderful!!
Barks and licks and love, Dakota
Thanks, Dakota! In sports it isn’t whether you win or lose, it’s how you look when you play the game. (or don’t play the game)
Love and licks,
C
I agree, it’s important to look good in your tennisdress. To have the best equipment is always a MUST. Mom used this trick at skiing, because she is more the downhill-avalanche than the downhill skier. I like book #2, I’m sure all kids will love it -Activity books are great, even for kids wo aren’t really bookworms :o)
Thanks, E. Sssshhhh! Don’t give Mom any ideas about other sports to dress me for.
Love and licks,
C
Cupcake you look so stylish in your dress. Congratulations to your mom on her book!
Bella and DiDi
Thanks, B &D! I’ve always wanted to be stylish!
Love and licks,
C
so awesome on your books!!!! Cupcake–you are so photogenic!
Thanks, A. I do love sitting there staring at the camera!
Love and licks,
C
As far as tennis goes, looking good is way more impawtant than playing and you’ve got that covered Cupcake š Momz thinks your mom is really creative to make that folding book Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks, G. It’s all about the look! You’ve got your priorities straight. Like me!
Love and licks,
C
So glad I could inspire your next book…but the REAL story is much better! Thank you for visiting our classroom! You are such a great encourager!
Awwww. Thanks, Joan. Your class is Mom’s favorite place to visit. There’s always something fun going on there. Maybe by next time, she’ll have a book about me, instead of a book about you! Then I will come with her! xoxo
Love and lots of licks,
C
Cupcake –
Was your tennis dress comfortable? Katrina and I are not fans of when our owner dresses us up in outfits. We are both wondering how you feel about that but then you do look adorable in it. Congratulations to your Mom’s book in Humpty Dumpty. That is very exciting!
PS – Do you always need glasses to read?
Thanks,S and K. I only wear the glasses to make me look smarter. My vision is perfect. I LOVE wearing dresses because usually when Mom dresses me up, it means something fun is going to happen – we’re going to do therapy work or we’re getting company…. Or she’s going to take pictures of me and give me lots of treats!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
I love your tennis dress!
And massive congrats to your mum !!
Thanks, M.! xoxo
Love and licks,
C
I love that outfit! We have tennis courts right across the street. Maybe I should think about taking Wonderbutt over there for a workout.
Ha! Yes! WB can borrow my dress. I think it’ll fit….
Love and licks,
C
Love the glasses!!!!
Thanks, W2W. They don’t help me see, but they help me look smart.
Love and licks,
C
Awww, Cupcake, I’m so proud of your momma! And the book looks cute too!
Donna L Martin
Thanks, Donna. Cute is always a goal around here!

Spring isn’t any better over here, Cupcake, but it brings a little color anyway. You look good in front of the tulips and the park and in your tennis outfit. Congratulations on your mom’s second book. It looks like a very nice book and the pictures are so cute. You must be very proud of your mom. Happy Mother’s Day Sweetie š
Thanks, AW. Spring tulips sure do bring lots of pretty colors!
Love and licks,
C
Always making me smile and laugh with your posts. You an your Mom are something special. I especially like the knowledgeable look with the glasses
Thanks, DD! Looking silly is my best trick!
Love and licks,
C
Congrats to your Mom on the book, how cool! š
I’ll be happy to play tennis with you, but I’m sure not gonna wear a dress, I’ll just come as I am if that’s ok? š
Big wags,
Your pal Snoopy š
Sure, S. Some dogs are so perfect, they need no adornment. Wait! What does that say about me?? GAH!
Love and licks,
C
Rain in the UK š¦ send some rays over to us pleaseeeeee xxx
I can send some rays, but not any heat. It’s only 40 degrees with a frost warning for tonight. Spring? Where’d ya go?
Love and licks,
C
Congratulations to your human on her book! YAY! *the collies do the happy dance* YAY!!! You look absolutely adorable Cupcake! You have a cool mom who dresses you up so wonderfully… wish the old guy did that…. wait.. perhaps we are lucky he doesnt.. LOL
Collie clothes would be huge and they would tangle your gorgeous fur. Don’t even try it!
Love and licks,
C
Great outfit, Cupcake. Archie has a stash of tennis balls he loves. Congratulations to your mom on her book 2 being selected in Humpty Dumpty. What an honor.
Thanks, Pat! Archie is lucky. Mom only lets me have one tennis ball. The rest are in the top of the closet.
Love and licks,
C
Congrats to your mom Cupcake! The book looks wonderful. And so do you in your cute little tennis dress.
Thanks, Ann! Even though it’s a tiny paper book, we are excited.
Love and licks,
C
I’ve got the tennis balls but no outfit. Which is fine by me! Your Mom has a fun story out and I can’t find that magazine! I’m still looking!
No May/June Humpty Dumpty in your library?? What a bummer. I think it’s hard to find if you’re not a subscriber.
Love and licks,
C
Woot woot!! Congratulations on all fronts. Spring got a little ‘b’ slap from winter this weekend up where I am, but it seems like all the plants are trying to hang in there. š
Thanks, Heart. Spring is getting a B-Slap here too the next few days. I hope the flowers are tougher than they look.
Love and licks,
C
How awesome, your mama’s book is in a magazine! Surely you will be a big help with #3. We gots a tennis court across the street from us, and we gots rackets and balls, but we all stinks at tennis. Maybe you want to come over and learn with me?
love,
Reuben
Learning tennis with you would be fun, R. But frankly, I have enough learning on my plate these days. Mom keeps teaching me things, even though my brain is so tiny it fills up fast!
Love and licks,
C
Well done to your Mom! I’m so thoroughly impressed. Glad to hear Spring has finally reached you. Autumn is definitely here, although our days are still beautiful and sunny. Indeed, tennis season. Both my nephew and niece were No 1 players in South Africa and my nephew is currently in America on a tennis (and academic – clever boy) scholarship.
Wow, Long Life! You are surrounded by tennis players. If anybody needs to borrow my tennis dress or my squeaky tennis ball, they’re available.
Love and licks,
C
š š Just trying to picture that tennis dress fitting me. Not quite sure if I’m laughing or crying at this point š
You look great in your tennis outfit, Cupcake! You might not play, but you look like a pro!
And congratulations to you mom on book #2! I will be wondering all day about what the surprise in the story is š
Thanks, Remy. Soon you’ll know the Show and Tell Surprise. Stay tuned for my next post…
Love and licks,
C
The last picture is quite cute, with the tilted spectacles! awww
Thanks, KDB. It’s difficult to wear glasses with a head like mine.
Love and licks,
C
Congratulation on the book – that’s great!
Cupcake, you look really sweet in your tennis outfit.
Awwww. Thanks, C. My tennis dress is kinda sweet…
Love and licks,

[…] Spring is almost here. I mean it’s here on the calendar, but in real life, not so much. Mom and I look for flowers outside, but we’re not seeing a whole lot. […]
[…] wrote a story about the classroom egg case and it was published in Humpty Dumpty Magazine. I guess that’s worth a few […]
