CUPCAKES

Three varieties turned out today, at the request of Charles and James: Raspberry, Mississippi Mud and Ginger. I really hope they go down well at work!! Of course, Charles has to do the taste test before they go anywhere just to make sure I'm not going to be poisoning anyone. He's still breathing at the moment!
The puppies, meanwhile, are enjoying a 'puppy tubo' each. These are supposed to be good for their teeth and gums. Lily has polished hers off in no time, but Rose is taking a bit longer because of course she has hardly any teeth at the moment! Now that Lily has finished, she wants Rose to come and play and is doing everything she can think of to distract her. So far, it's not working and Rose is still gumming her tubo to bits. Lily has now resorted to putting on a sort of show of really silly behaviour - and its STILL not having the desired effect!! Now she's decided that she's just going to have to wait it out and she's lying flat on the floor, inches away from Rose and is staring her out and willing her to finish. (Actually, knowing Lily, she's lying as close as possible because there's a chance that there may be some crumbs left over that she can 'hoover' up in a minute!)
