Thanks for the pupcakes recipe. I'm going to try it this weekend. Both my dogs are born in March - two years apart. Strange, never thought about it before.

Pupcakes! Never heard of these. Looks like they would love them.
The tea looks good, too. Have a great Tuesday. :)

They look so good I don't think I'd be able to convince my boys they are pupcakes! ^..^

Oops forgot to say...my Mufftypup was born in December 8 years ago.
Maybe March is the more modern trend ;D

Oh your pup has the sweetest face! Happy birthday to him. Jingles will be 8 next month. Maybe all cats are born in April? Ha! Minus the doggy biscuit, those pupcakes sound mighty fine for human consumption. Best wishes to you for a wonderful day! Tammy

P.S. We have tinted windows so the dove picture was taken from inside through the window so as not to scare them away. :)

Happy Birthday to "ruff"! Both our dogs were born in the fall, so appear to be the exception to your March rule. :)

Those pupcakes look too good for our puppy! He prefers chair and table legs-- from antique furniture! (waaaaaah!)

I'm having tea today. :)

Happy birthday to your pup! He's a cutie!
