I want to say for the record that going to school was as much fun as I predicted it would be. Wait! No! It was TEN times more fun! When Mom and I arrived, everybody was working in groups to invent their own original math games. We were impressed. These kids sure do love to learn!
The first place I discovered was the shelf with the lunchboxes. Mom said, “We are NOT staying for lunch.” and “Don’t even think about it.”
Then I saw a poster that looked a lot like me. but I noticed it said the word, “Listen Up” which clearly has nothing to do with my life.
The whole time I was there, I was kissed and held and cuddled and touched and hugged and carried and petted like crazy.
The kids showed Mom and me the picture books they wrote and illustrated. Now Mom is worried because they are definitely steep competition for her.
They even gave Mom and me a thank you card with lots of words inside and cupcake stickers on it. Perfect.
After all that fun and love, I was exhausted, so I rested in the car and then took a quick street nap when we got home.
Mom has another school visit on Thursday. I wonder what I should wear…

Great job, Cupcake! That looks like so much fun and I love the pictures. Thank you for sharing a lovely experience with us.
Thanks, Christine! Too bad Mom wouldn’t let me steal a lunchbox or two. Now THAT would’ve been lovely!!
Love and licks,
C
Thanks for sharing, Cupcake! I loved hearing about your school visit! What lucky students!
Thanks, Penny! I think I was the lucky one!
Love and licks,
C
Cupcake! What fun you and your Mom had at school! You look adorable all snuggled up with those kids…..and you get to go back? Might I suggest that beautiful sun dress you wore to the camping trip???? Oh – and another thing – please be careful about those street naps…..the pavement probably feels nice and warm BUT it’s kinda dangerous out in that street – don’t make me worry about you!!!!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Sadly, Sammy, Mom’s next school visit is at a different school. I’m not invited this time. But I can dream, can’t I?
Love and licks,
C
Sounds like a fabulous school visit. Great age to be with. Love all of the photos. Yes, I’m realizing amazed at the the books kids are writing — could be big competition soon!
Thanks, Pat. Those 5th graders are GOOD! Mom is running scared.
Love and licks,
C
Oh boy!! You’ve found your calling! And I’ll tell you a secret … if you go often enough teachers and kids start sharing their lunch with you and keeping treats in their closets and pockets just for you! JOY!!!
Thanks, Rhythm! Treats in pockets are my favorite food!
Love and licks,
C
That’s so wonderful! You made those kids very happy 🙂
Thanks, K and C.They made me happy, too!
Love and licks,
C
Golly, Cupcake, those kids were the luckiest kids ever to get to meet you! I’m glad you had fun at school 🙂 Favorite line from this post: “Listen Up” which clearly has nothing to do with my life. 🙂
You know it, S. Listen Up is like a curse word for dogs. Even ask Jemma and Scout. I’m sure they don’t like to hear you cursing like that!
Love and licks,
C
Gosh, I wish you and your mom could come to our elementary school! That would be so much fun!
Me too, WIM2S. Maybe you could gelatin my fur so it stops falling out all over the place.
Love and licks,
C
Cupcake – you are always looking so fabulous! Looks like you got to make a lot of new great friends at the school too 🙂
Thanks, A. I love school friends. They’re delicious.
Love and licks,
C
Oh, Cupcake, how lucky you were! Well deserved pampering time 🙂
I was super lucky to visit school. There are a lot of hands there to pet me.
Love and licks,
C
Looks like you had a great time, but I don’t get why you couldn’t explore the pack lunches more!!!
Thank you, B. Only another dog would realize the potential for those lunchboxes. Mom was a real buzzkill on that one.
Love and licks,
C
Sofie does street naps too. You are so sweet and we have a yummy for you http://dogdaz.com/2013/05/23/5-23-13-thankful-thursday-miss-harper-lee/
Sophie and I should streetnap together sometime. At least she’s big enough for the cars to see, so they’ll stop. Sometimes, Mom has to drag me into the gutter to let the cars pass.
Love and licks,
C
Oh, I worry that they will not see her either. She may be 50 lbs but small. Cars don’t even care about humans it seems. Stay safe.
Uh-oh. Tell Sophie to stick near the gutter!
That looks like a great trip.You obviously stole the show. But I think you should’ve been allowed to stay for lunch!
Thanks, M. I did steal the show. Mom wouldn’t let me steal any of the lunchboxes, though.
Love and licks,
C
Looks like you had a great day. And you looked fabulous – way better than the Listen Up dog in the poster! I’m sure today will be another excellent adventure. I can’t wait to have lunch with mom tomorrow so I can hear all about it. Don’t forget to post shots of today’s outfit. 😉 (p.s. I won’t show Jeff.)
Bad news, G. The school Mom is visiting today is no dogs allowed. Mom said the word, “Dream on.” Jeff will be happy to know that I’ll be spending the day naked and alone…. well for a couple of hours, anyway. Don’t worry, you’ll hear all about everything tomorrow.
Love and licks,

Hey Cupcake,
Sometimes I don’t think humans realize how much effort it takes to deal with all that attention! Tee Hee
So happy you had such a fab time!
Sure whatever you wear you’ll look pawsome!
Wags to all
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
So true, Snoopy. Being adorable is exhausting!
Love and licks,
C
I think you should wear next time something with a HUGE pocket! The only question is how could you distract attention from you for a minute!
Your street nap is extremely cute! I’d like to pet you – oh no, you are just dog-tired from having been petted by so many little hands!
Thanks for the idea, K. I wonder if I could’ve stuck a lunchbox or two or three into my dress…..
Love and licks,
C
You look exhausted in the last photo! But it looks like you had a lot of fun and I bet the children really enjoyed meeting you.
Children are my favorites, C. Plus they’re delicious. I licked a few of them while I was there.
Love and licks,
C
Can you visit our school next? I want an autograph! 😀
I love signing pawtographs, Erik! I think your school would be a blast!
Love and licks,
C
😀
What a treat- for you and the children Cupcake. I wonder if they were as tired as you were afterwards? 🙂
Fabulous Cupcake xxx
What a great day you had! It sure looks like fun! Love your outfit. Dad tried to put a skirt on Ginger once…. well… er…. he’s never tried again for it wasnt pretty! Your lucky ot have such a cool mom who dresses you up and takes you to school!
the collies and chuck 🙂
OMGoodness! Ginger in a skirt is just wrong on so many levels. No wonder she has so many “ideas”.
Love and licks,
C
Oh, that looks like so much fun, Cupcake! You were such a good, sweet pup and you looked very beautiful in your dress 🙂 I am very excited to hear all about your next school trip! Maybe this one will come with some lunches? 😉
Thanks, R. School is the best! I love kids. Sometimes they taste like gum.
Love and licks,
C
you be careful in that street Missy! And I think you could just go to school nekked and those kids would love you just the same…purrrs, Savvy
Awwww. Thanks, Savvy! Don’t worry, if a car comes, Mom drags me into the gutter for safety.
Love and licks,
C
I’m glad I’m reading these in order. 🙂 Nice that you got to go to school and I’m glad the children were so nice to you.
Children are the best! Plus, they taste delicious!
Love and licks,
