Mom has two author visits coming up. One this week and one next week. Both are call-backs, so she kind of knows what to expect. One thing she expects is fun! Rejection is the downside of writing. School visits are the upside AND her most favorite thing about being an author. Bar none.
Fifth graders and college students make for very different visits, which means Mom will pack up her school visit stuff TWICE. I love when Mom packs up her bag.
Sometimes there are candies in there. Or gum. Or tissues. And sometimes stuffed toys, depending on where she’s visiting. I ALWAYS check the bag out, just in case.
Once I found (and ran with) a smaller bag from inside the bigger bag. It had a fork, a beanie baby, a paintbrush, and a baseball inside. Mom said, “I need them for a game.” and “You wouldn’t understand.” and “Eeeewww. They’re slimy with dog spit!”
Although I love the bag, I hate the leaving. Why does every upside need a downside? When Mom says, “I have to go,” I hear the word GO and head for the door.
Ready!
She says, “Not this time.” and “I’ll be back in a little while.” and “Do you want a treat?” which is EXACTLY what I want. And that’s how the downside becomes the upside again.
Wooohoowooooo fur your mom Cupcake!
You are a real cutie, Cupcake!

high paw friend..
Enjoy the school visits, Genevieve! And Cupcake, you sure are a cutie pie! :)
Yeah for your mom Cupcake! We agree, we hate when Mom leaves but we do love when we get treats!
Love that last photo. Looks like you’re using ESP to command the treat to your mouth. A well earned prize for the watchpup who keeps the rascals out while mom is away.
You are a master of manipulation, Cupcake :) I’m glad you’re so good at finding the upside!
So proud of you! I wish I could meet you guys in person!
Cupcake, you’re mom must be in demand to be called back. Hope you enjoyed your treat. :-)
Yay for Mom and school visits. Boo for having to stay home and wait. If she ever gets that book about you written, you’ll be able to go on those visits!!
