This is incredible! Unbelievable! Mind-boggling! Unthinkable! Inconceivable! It’s… it’s…. it’s… Summer School times TWO!
Mom is smack in the middle of Kidlit Summer School…
and all of a sudden on August 1st Lyrical Language Lab started up.
Do you see what’s happening here? She’s studying TWO summer schools at once! Reading stories, writing stories, reading poems, writing poems. It’s out of control!
You’re probably wondering what I’m doing while all this reading and writing and writing and reading is going on. Nuthin’ that’s what.
I just wait…
and wait…
and wait.
For a whole HOUR – which feels like 2 hours or 8 hours or 67 hours. Ugh! Thank goodness Mom still sets the clock for her writing time, so when her iPad chimes, she can play with me again.
Anybody want to throw the squeaky corn on the cob toy? Anybody…?
After what seems like 975 hours, we finally get to walk around outside, go to the park…
and on Saturday (AFTER summer school), we even went to work at the Veteran’s Home so I could see all my old soldier friends and make them smile.
Mom says, “I’m learning a lot.” and “School is fun.” and I say, “When the heck is summer VACATION!!??”

Yeesh Cupcake, your mom is really cramming it in this Summer. Butt at least she is making time for you!
Wally & Sammy
She is, W. And S. But FYI – there’s never enough time for all the playing I want to do.
Love and licks,

You no helping da writing? We always helping when mom working at home!
I do try to help, S. And J. I bring toys and stare and sometimes, I fly out of nowhere and land on Mom’s lap. She says the word, “not now” and “not yet” and “OUCH!” I don’t get it….
Love and licks,
C
Cupcake your mom surely does fill her hours FULL of busy stuffs. Good that the TIMER worked and she made TIME fur YOU and the Veterans and PLAY !!
Thanks, F. And E. I’m also happy about the timer. It’s all, “Chime chime chime.” And then Mom is all mine!
Love and licks,
C
Poor Cupcake. If I was closer, you could come over and hang out with me. Perhaps I can teach you how to run the clock up on her iPad so she thinks she’s working an hour but really only 30 minutes? Smile :O winks and oinks. XOXO – Bacon
Impressive, B. You kinda make me wish I had hooves! All I ever do is type QQQQ with my ear, now and then.
Love and licks,
C
Somehow you have to convince your mom that you are here summer school and that she’ll learn the most by playing with you.
Thanks, B. I DO have a lot of things I could teach her!
Love and licks,
C
You pack your bags and come play with me for a bit until your mums done with her packing!!
I would LOVE that, but Mom needs me to help her think. …..I think….
Love and licks,
C
OMC (Oh My Cupcake) that waiting looks like a lifetime, but, thank Cat, she still has time for you after it 😀 Pawkisses…and now where do I have to throw that corn thingie you said…?
Yay, Little B. You can throw my corn toy anywhere and I will get it and run like crazy with it. Thanks!
Love and licks,
C
Just came by for the second round… and to bring some Pawkisses for a Happy Sunday 🙂
oh waiting is annoying… maybe she can read her stories and poems to you first, so you are included in the writing process?
Thanks, E. She usually reads them out loud to herself. Maybe if she would read them to me, I will be less lonely.
Love and licks,
C
Cupcake, sometimes we have to be so patient! It sounds like you’re still having some fun though. I’m sure she’ll make it up to you when she’s less busy. Enjoy your naps!
Thanks, C. I do enjoy napping, but not as much as riding in the car and stuff like that.
Love and licks,
C
Poor Cupcake…..if I was there I’d throw that squeaky corn for you any time you want! Waiting is just awful isn’t it? Your Mom is very busy though and at least she limits herself on writing/reading time and makes sure YOU get time too!!! Gotta give her credit for that. I bet those veterans love seeing you when you visit them Cupcake – that’s such a wonderful thing for you and your Mom to do. They get to see you in all your cute little dresses and outfits……you’re the best dressed cutie in town!
Love and Hugs, Sammy
Awwww… Thanks, S. The old veterans did make a lot of smiles for me when they saw me. At one point, there were 4 or 5 people petting me at one time. Fun!
Love and licks,
C
LOL! How cute! Lil Hallie shares your waiting woes… but think of all the stuff you are soaking up Cupcake! 🙂
Thanks, C. Lil Hallie and I have a lot in common. Too bad we can’t wait together!
Love and licks,
C
I with you let mom do all the work our job is to just look cute Woof
You are kind of cute, F. Me too. Our job is done!
Love and licks,
C
Poor Cupcake! Such a hard life for a little dog. 🙂
Thanks, R. Waiting is tougher than it looks….
Love and licks,
C
But Cupcake you look so dang darling while you wait! All those pictures of you waiting, you have the sweetest waiting face! I bet you made your old soldier friends smile 🙂
Thanks, Pix. My waiting-face has gotten a lot of practice these past few weeks. I’m glad you like it.
Love and licks,
C
You’re so good to be waiting while your Mummy is so busy. Purhaps you could swap roles? Your Mum can have an hours snooze while you take the Summer school, tehe!
The Pigs xx
Thanks, Pigs! Mom says she is totally on board with this idea. She loves a snooze.
Love and licks,
C
Cupcake…what a shame you have the summer stuffs to go have fun and Mum is busy….lucky indeed when mum’s time’s up (which sounds wrong!) you are ready to spring into action…corn cob and all 😉 hugs and loves Fozziemum xx
Thanks, FM. I always stay ready, in case an opportunity for play sneaks up on me. I can spring into action in a heartbeat.
Love and licks,
C
Cupcake – We want to know when summer vacation happens, too! Your Mom is super busy – we know it is hard to wait for her. We hope you enjoyed your walk! 🙂
Thanks, S. And K. Once Mom gets finished, the fun begins. Even if the fun is just walking down to take out the garbage! It doesn’t take much to make me happy.
Love and licks,
C
975 hours is a long time to wait for a walk, you are quite stoic and not the least prone to exaggeration. Two Summer schools at once sounds like it could be the premise for the next book.
You know me well, W. I do not exaggerate. Maybe the title of the new book could be TOO MUCH SCHOOL!
Love and licks,
C
Oh Cupcake,I had better get in my magic Closet and Pay you a visit,xx Speedy
Yay. You’d be MUCH more fun than my stuffed bunny. Mom has to help him play with me. He can’t do anything on his own!
Love and licks,
C
Sweet dreams while you wait, Cupcake! And dreams of sweet ideas to your mom as she double studies!
Thanks, P. I like sweet dreams. Those kinds of dreams that make my feet squiggle while I sleep! Yay!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Cupcake, you are so patient while your ambitious mom works and works!
Thanks, K. I had a lot of practice when I was waiting for Mom to find me at the rescue event. Trust me – this waiting is easier than that one!
Love and licks,
C
Your Mom is learning a lot, and you are learning a LOT of patience if nothing else sweet Cupcake! Love the photos today! Can never get enough Cupcake photos ever!
Thanks, M. Mom says she has WAAAAY too many pictures of me! I don’t even know what that means….
Love and licks,
C
Poor, poor, pitiful Cupcake. Don’t you just hate it when the humans get their priorities all messed up and we end up waiting for them to finish doing whatever silly human thing they’re doing so they can finally pay attention to us? Look at the bright side: she may start to feel guilty and that could mean extra treats for you. Hang in there!
Good point, Miss HL. Treats! They make up for a LOT of mistakes! …Mom’s mistakes. Summer school is going to be yummy!
Love and licks,
C
One hour! That’s not so bad…Fuzzy and I had to wait for EVER while Mom worked with Dad in the hay. It was FOREVER and it was hot!
Hey, can we trade…just for one day! You could be outside all the time and Fuzz and I could lay around waiting for your Mom!
TEE HEE

OMG, B. Your mom and dad work SO much. They don’t even use a timer! You guys are expert waiters!
Love and licks,
C
Way too cute, Cupcake! Maybe that’s why I keep finding Archie sleeping under my bed when I’m working. He’s pouting and not happy with me.
Yes, P. Archie is a better communicator than you thought he was. Now you get the message. Let’s play!
Love and licks,

Mom and. Had a long conversation about this yesterday and I still say she’s amazing! And you’re right to be impatient, but hang in. She loves you to death!
Thanks for the advice, G. I will hang in. School can’t last forever…. Or can it??
Love and licks,
C
Really cute 🙂
Hey, Thanks, J. Cute is my specialty!
Love and licks,
C
All work and very little play makes for a dull and bored Cupcake. I feel your pain. Love how you “pose” for your pics with your props!
Thanks, LL. I’m glad you agree with me. Two summer schools is just plain Too. Much. Work.
Love and licks,
C
OMG, Cupcake, I didn’t know that summer school is an infectious disease! I’m afraid there is only cure of it: you should put your mom into a swing so that the things in her brainbox get shaken back into their right place.
I hope you are immune to this malady and it won’t occupy your slim but extremely cute head!
Thanks, K. The swing would be good medicine for Mom, that’s for sure! Her brain box is all out of whack! It needs shaking up!
Love and licks,
C
Oh Cupcake, I’m so sorry you haven’t had much of a summer vacation. 😦 But I know you want your mom to feel happy so she’s fun to be around and it sounds like all this school makes her happy. Cooper paws at me when he’s decided I’ve had enough time at the computer (I’m not as wise as your mom and forget to put on a timer). When he paws me we go outside to play.
I’m glad you got to see all your soldier friends! hugs, Meghan
Thanks, M. Cooper has a built-in timer inside his head. He will take care of you so you don’t stay on the computer for too long. Good work, buddy.
Love and licks,
C
I feel for you cupcake, wish I was there imagine all the fun we’d have together!
SO much fun, M.
Love and licks,
C
Oh sweet Cupcake, you deserve so much better…and yet…your Mom does give up most of her closet space so you can have all your outfits organized by holiday, color, fabric…maybe you ought to bring her slippers like once every other year…ya know…just to make her feel wanted?? na’ mean???
Ha! That’s no joke, S. My clothes do take up HALF of her coat closet! I stink at fetching, so Mom is going to have to be on her own with the slippers….
Love and licks,
C
Hey Cupcake
You can come over here and play with me anytime buddy!
Wags to all,
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
Thanks, S. I might just do that, before I forget HOW to play!
Love and licks,
C
SUCH Joy! I want a dog!!!
ME! Pick me! I will come and play with you!
Love and licks,
C
I cannot ever take away your precious pup!
Boy! The things we dogs have to deal with. I’d love to toss that corn on the cob with you!
Thanks, R. While I was waiting for someone to play, I ripped the stuffed corn husks off the stuffed corn.
Love and licks,
C
