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.
