I have a lot of costumes. Costumes turn me into a character.
Mom has a ton of characters inside her head. She saves them up and puts them into her stories. She studied about developing her characters by writing character sketches of them. The character sketch helps Mom get to know her characters really well. Really, REALLY well.
Really??
She needs to know things like: their favorite color, their best talent, their favorite food, their secrets, their favorite words to say, and a million other things. Once Mom knows about her character, then she knows how that character would work best in a story. If I were one of Mom’s characters, this is what she’d know about me….
Favorite color – Pink, what else? I’m a little girl.
Talent – Bowling. Dog bowling…
Favorite food – Bacon treats. And dog food. And MilkBones. And yogurt. And chicken. And pizza. And apples. And peanut butter. And goose poop. And cigar butts. And paper. And dirt.
Secrets – I’m not as dumb as I look. Sssshhhh.
Favorite thing to say – “Wait! What??”
Wait! What??

Boy, you sure transformed into devil dog in that last picture. I like you better when you look sweet – especially in the picture with all those treats. I’ll join you there.
I totally agree, B. I am the opposite of a devil. That costume is all wrong for me!

Cupcake, you are a real character, and those costumes are outrageous. We love a woofie with a great sense of humor. And your a champion bowler! Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Thanks, Kitties! Sometimes, around here, if I don’t laugh, I’ll bark! There’s always something going on.
Love and licks,
C
I love this, such sweetness 🙂
Thanks, HH! Sweetness is my specialty!

Wow, Cupcake, I’m impressed of all your personalities, but pink suits you the best…and you’re definitely not dumb..In fact you’re one the the smartest doggies I know 😉 Pawkisses 🙂
Thanks, AW. *blush* Smart? Who, me? You’re too sweet….
Love and licks,
C
OMG Cupcake, you have me rolling on the floor laughing so hard right now with all of these photographs! That nurse costume is hilarious, and I agree on the turtle outfit..really?
Thanks, V. I’m glad you agree about the turtle. When I first saw it, I thought it was a giant, new stuffed toy to play with. Then I realized I had to WEAR it. Yikes! I’d rather bite it.
Love and licks,
C
It’s amazing what we put our dogs through, eh? Some times I feel bad that I do silly things to them, just to get a funny picture, and I say that I won’t do it again….until I do! Hee hee hee (like that time I put a diaper on Bella) I laughed my head off!
Diaper! Yikes! I let Mom do anything, as long as she has treats in her pocket. That’s always the deciding factor in what I will and will not tolerate.
What fab costumes! Whee have heard the hoomans whispering about dressing us up. Whee are having none of it!

Here’s my guess, boys. If your human is bent on dressing you, you won’t have much choice!
Love and licks,
C
Cupcake those are some great costumes! And what a variety of treats you like 🙂
Thanks, K &C. Nobody understands better than Cocco about eating a variety of foods…. And non foods!
Love and licks,
C
Oh Cupcake you have the BESTEST outfits! I do think you look quite adorable though in your pink dress….very girlie…..I’m kinda thinking that turtle thing is NOT your best look but it is cute! You are a world champion bowler though – nobody can take down those pins like you do!!! WOO HOOOOOO!!!!!
Kitty Hugs and Kisses, Sammy
Thanks, Sammy! My bowling is kind of spotty sometimes. If I’m not in the mood, I knock down one pin and jump on the couch with my toys. It’s really fun because it makes Mom crazy.
Love and licks,
C
Cupcake you are a cast of characters….a colourful and endearing cast of characters 🙂 hugs Fozziemum xx
Thanks, F. Being a character is easy for me. Someday, I hope to dress up like a sheep!
Love and licks,
C
I have the wool in bags here for you Cupcake!! haircuts done and plenty of sheep costume material 🙂 Hugs Fozziemum xx
You take out one of those pins with your tail – that’s real skill!
Thanks, C. I think I should get extra points for the tail action!
Love and licks,
C
I’m fan of the sexy nurse outfit
Thanks DS. Somehow, I am not surprised by this!!
Love and licks,
C
Oh Cupcake you are adorable, you need to enter our Howl-O-Ween competition xxooxxx
Mollie and Alfie
Thanks, M. I’m looking for a date.
Love and licks,
C
Cupcake, I thought you were modeling Halloween costumes at first. You are great to put up with your mom’s dressing you in such cute costumes. Love the nurse outfit.
Thanks, P. I don’t mind putting up with Mom. It’s the least I can do… because she puts up with me!
Love and licks,
C
Cupcake you are so good 🙂
Thanks, Moggies. Mom says I am a good girl, too!
Love and licks,
C
Tough choice, but I think I like your Rudolph costume the best. You are one styling pup!
Thanks, W & E. That Rudolph costume doubles as a winter jacket, so it gets a lot of play. I’m glad you like it.
Love and licks,
C
Cupcake, the frog costume is my favorite. But if you come to my crib for trick or treat, please don’t wear it, they have aweird menu card here :o)
Thanks, E., but it’s not a frog, it’s a turtle. If they won’t eat Hel-Mut, they won’t eat me. …or will they??
Love and licks,
C
I’m not sure cupcake, they eat all things with legs – except the table :o) But if you have time you could visit Hell-mut for a while, he said it’s bring alone :o)
I hope you’ll be wearing one of your fab costumes to mine and mollie’s halloween ball!
Thanks, M. I hope so, too. All I need is a date.
Love and licks,
C
Strike! You are a character Cupcake and beyond doubt a super bowler…I think I like your nurse outfit the best
Thanks, G. Mom says bowling keeps me sharp. Imagine that! Sharp! Me!
Love and licks,
C
Such great photos. I think acting may be a new career?
Thanks, Q. I would love to be an acting dog! I could be famous!
Love and licks,
C
You are already famous on here and I am sure you would be more so.xx
You, madam, are certainly a character! When is there going to be a series about you? A more interesting subject, I’ve never seen.
Love the nurse outfit. Reminds me of my sister. :-). Ask mom…
Thanks, G. Mom told me about Toni. Maybe I could be her assistant! I am also waiting for a series about me! Paws crossed….
Love and licks,
C
Great Cupcake! You’re a natural bowler! And a natural eater. And a natural, um, get-into-costumes-er. And a natural… Hmm… Well, ANYWAY, you’re a natural! 😀
Pats and scratches,
Erik
P.S. I showed Josie the video, and now she wants a “bowling dog” – would you mind bringing your pins and coming to our house to put on a show? We have lots of bacon!
Thanks E & J. Did you say b-b-b-bacon!? Yes! I will come there and play bowling with both of you!
Love and licks,
C
MOM!!! Start the stove! A Bacon Famine is comin’ this way! 😉
wait a minute. Isn’t today MONDAY? Please don’t confuse me lol!
Don’t be confused, D, C, & C. To me, every day is just like every other day, so I don’t pay any attention to the actual calendar, which is covered with numbers, which confuse ME!
Love and licks,
C
You are so cute! We love your costumes and your treat list! The devil picture is fantastic! Ginger’s favorite in fact. 🙂 You and our Hallie have the same eyes.. it is so cool!
Thanks, Chuck! Ginger probably has a pair of devil horns hidden under her fluffy furs.
Love and licks,
C
I always love all of your costumes Cupcake. I especially love that turtle!
Thanks, A. When I first saw it, I was hoping the turtle shell was a big, new stuffed toy, but no such luck….
Love and licks,
C
Cute video! And that a great view of understanding our characters–dress them up! Glad Cupcake is such the model!
Thanks, T. Dressing them up! Yes! That’s what makes them unique!
Love and licks,
C
Wait! What? BOL! We can’t wait to see you dressed up for Halloween Cupcake.
Wally & Sammy
Thanks, W & S. I plan to look super cute for Halloween.
Love and licks,
C
The turtle is my FAVORITE!!!! SOOOOO CUTE!
Awwww. Thanks, KDB. I love being a cute little turtle!
Love and licks,
C
Your mom is very lucky to have such an accommodating and adorable dog!
Thanks, WIM2S. She is. Isn’t she?
Love and licks,
C
So — is the Mom trying to decide which character to use in her new book? Is it going to be a Christmas book? Or a hospital mystery? Or a counting book with dancing, bowling turtles?
I hope she writes ALL of those stories – starring ME!!
Love and licks,
C
That would be excellent!!

Such a pawesome post!!!! Cupcake, you are such a good doggie…I’m sure you raked up on the treats after your photo session!!!! Thanks for the smiles!!!!
Thanks, T. Photos and treats go hand in paw.

Hey Cupcake
You don’t look dumb, you’re a pretty little devil! 🙂
Wags to all
Snoops 🙂
Thanks, S. I actually think I’m more of an angel than a devil, but pretty is good, either way.
Love and licks,
C
Tortoise body + frog head – I’m not sure, either!!!
Your nut-brown eyes all always the same and shine out of every costume! And your sitting technique… 🙂 🙂
Thanks, K. That costume is kind of freaky! At first I thought it was a giant toy! GAH!
Love and licks,
C
Cupcake – I like your costumes, especially since I don’t have to wear them. 🙂
You are a fantastic bowler. I may have to hint to my owners to get some bowling pins. That looks like fun.
~Stanley
Thanks, S. and K. Bowling is fun. I first learned using empty water bottles. When I got really good, Santa brought me bowling pins and I had to start learning all over again.
Love and licks,
C
WOL! I like the ladybug best! Wooooowoooooo!
Thanks, Ku. Sometimes Mom calls me her little ladybug. It’s because of my spots. And my cuteness….
Love and licks,
C
We vote for the lady bug, but we are not happy with you for giving our Mom such evil ideas – Louise & Sofie
Sorry, girls. Halloween is always a minefield. You can run, but you cannot hide.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Such a sweet post! I think my blog is working again :)))
Thanks, VC. I think you’re back in business. Your comment isn’t in spam! Plus, I would like to eat Spam sometime….
