Someone, (I wonder who?), had forgotten to check the door. My 6 year old was also with me and broke the news to his brother. Boy, it really was a cute cake and was custom made. I think the dogs even ate the figures on top of it! I was making everyone wait until evening to have any of it. Big mistake!!

I hope your puppy is okay!

I commented last night to my husband that the donuts were a hit because they were all gone. He looked at me amazed that I hadn't caught on and said that the dogs got those as well. Not to mention the tortilla chips, fruit and every other scrap of food left out in the kitchen. On the bright side, my hardwood floors look awesome!

Originally Posted By agent I forgot about my son. LOL. He thought we were joking at first. When he knew we were serious he only asked if I thought we could get his toy figures back from the dogs. I quickly said no. We went out and bought another cake. We are going to Disneyland in Septemeber and I told him I would buy him something special to make up for it. He said he was already getting another cake and that I didn't need to get him anything else because it wasn't something important like trading cards, it was only a cake! I guess he put it in perspective.
