Dachshund birthday celebrations are the best! Well at least the ones I’ve been to so far. We celebrated bro’s birthday last weekend. Momma made carrot/honey/peanut butter cupcakes with peanut butter frosting and a piece of this stuff called bacon on top. She didn’t come up with the recipe on her own, she found it here. They were awesome cupcakes! I picked mine right up out of my bowl and ran with it. I couldn’t risk Tad Cooper trying to steal it from me. He took forever licking the peanut butter frosting off the top of his. I just bit right into mine and chowed down.

Carrot, honey, and peanut butter cupcakes with peanut butter frosting and BACON!
Momma said we couldn’t eat all of the cupcakes. It was totally unfair. I mean look at that plate! It was full of cupcakes! I did my very best to get a second helping. I gave Momma my best sad puppy eyes and everything!

How can she deny these eyes?
She told me we had to wait for my birthday, which really confused me. How did she know when my birthday was? Even I didn’t remember my birthday. I guess the humane society told her I was born in June, so she picked June 16 for my birthday. I’m not sure that’s right, but I’ll totally claim it as mine if it means I get to have another cupcake!
I’m just glad she didn’t choose June 8 for my birthday. I share everything else with Tad Cooper, so it’s nice to have my own birthday. Besides, that means we get to have cupcakes twice in the same month! I did a little cupcake math and figured out that we’ll still have two cupcakes left after we have some on my birthday. I wonder what Momma will do with them?!
