it’s gus’ birthday!  he’s two!  i hear that your dog calms down when they turn two.  i was sort of hoping it would happen today, but it seems unlikely.

in any case, i made pupcakes.

after getting over the initial fear of the burning candle, gus was a little confused as to why i would encourage eating off my plate

so we sat around for awhile to test the waters…

but in the end (and after i broke it up into gus sized bites…)  these tasteless, dense little cakes were a success. 

and now gus is whining for more.

and trying to eat the candle.

this is why i don’t feed him real food.
