This cake caused the shortest birthday party in my family’s history. Oh my heavens, we all went crazy and right when the party got started it pretty much ended. It has caused Mom to ponder the thought of setting up video at the next party.
For my party this year I chose a carrot cake. I like carrot cake, and it is orange. No one has had a cake in a while so it was time. When I picked it, I tasted it and loved it. Still, I had no idea the effect it would have on all of us. Let’s say, if you want an out of control party, order a carrot cake from The Three Dog Bakery!
Normally we get a photo of the birthday hound with the cake. Well, I only had eating it in my mind. The above photo is the best Mom could do. She was so afraid I would take a big bite out of it!
Mom started to get suspicious when she was setting the party table. I was super fixated on the cake and constantly trying to get a hold of it. Nelson was trying to get on the kitchen counter to grab it, so he ended up in his kennel. Because of the craziness that ensued, Nelson and I traded places after Mom took this photo.
We go to our places at the table one at a time since space is tight and Mom wants to protect the cake. Bailie sat down first and used her best manners. The trouble started with Madison who came running from the other room and actually jumped onto the table. Being short, she didn’t make it all the way and started to slide off with the tablecloth and party items. Mom grabbed her and put her in her chair. Next came Nelson who would not sit in his chair. His place moved to being next to Bailie which helped a little bit. Finally, I came and settled in for a nice family shot.
Remember previous photo as that is the last family photo. As soon as Mom put cake on the plates, Nelson took his piece and hopped down.
A few seconds later, Madison also decided to take her prize piece of cake to the floor to eat. Little Miss Manners and rule follower just disappeared.
Bailie and I stayed in our spots like the civilized hounds we are and finished our pieces of yummy carrot cake.
Everyone finished their cake in mere seconds really. Even the floor dwellers were able to gobble their pieces right down. Mom has been having birthday parties since Katie turned one over twenty years ago, and this is by far the shortest birthday party ever! We are going to ask if there is dog crack in this cake or what next time we go to the bakery. The four of us were totally crazy to grab and eat the cake. Madison would never jump on the table, but the cake made her do it.
Now that I am four, I have better manners, but Nelson seems to be lacking in that department. He has taken over my job cleaning the table. My party was totally pawsome, the cake was the best ever, but it was over way too fast!

What a pretty cake and it looks so yummy, Olivia, and it looks like you really enjoyed it! Birthday pawties are such fun!
This was a totally crazy, out of hand party, but the cake was delicious.
But Olivia….considering whose birthday it was TOTALLY crazy is pretty normal, right?? Especially after all the sniffing you and Nelson did.
The fact that Madison took a running leap for the table is almost too much. She never has ever done anything like that, but once the table and cake were saved, we could all laugh about it.
we love this part … and the photos look fantabulous… we have parties like that too… how good that your mama could make photos, that’s not easy when you try not to laugh LOL
You boys would have fit right in with all the craziness that went on for a very short party!
Oh Our Goodness!! What a fun party. That must have been some cake!! And look at Nelson on the table!!! You are all so cute. We are glad that you liked your cake so much!!! Happy Birthday! your friends Lilly and Chester
We all wanted the entire cake and it was on the table. Bailie is the only one who didn’t try to get up there.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GBGV friends you delighted and gave me many smiles this morning. That cake must have had a heavenly aroma…that no scent hound worth her/his weight in gold could ignore. Sometimes the nose Nose!
Thank you for the giggles…tell mom she deserves an award for moving as quickly as she did.
Hugs Cecilia
Mom was exhausted even though the party was pretty short. We all went completely nuts!
What a great photo shoot!!! Like most family gatherings, it’s hard to get everyone interested in the camera when there is food on the table. These images are priceless. Happy birthday Olivia.
Thank you. Our manners kind of went out the window when we got a whiff of the cake!
Sounds like my kind of party. Next time I think you should each get your own birthday cake.
We only get one on our birthday and then we have to share. This time we were just a bit wild because it smelled so good.
Your mom sure makes sure your birthday are special. You made me smile from ear to ear and say Awww more than once.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches all around and my best to your wonderful mom. ♥
Thank you. She loves to keep us all happy and give us the best life she can.
That is just too funny! Your Mom needs to set up the video camera for the next party. Madison trying to jump on the table is hilarious! So glad you had a fun time!
It is not something she has ever done or thought of doing. Mom says we all lost our minds over the cake!
BOL!! Sounds like a great pawty! We have to laugh, because our pawrents are big fans of carrot cake and know how delicious it can be!

My mom doesn’t eat it or like it, so she doesn’t know why we are so crazy about it!
Awwwwsome photos- when a cake is that delicious it sure doesn’t take long to eat it! Cheers!
It was definitely a good one!
Even though it was super short I would say it was very successful. Four very happy hounds. Clearly it’s not just Olivia who’s favorite is carrot cake!
No, we are all pretty much crazy about it. Mom has never seen anything like it, we just went nuts.
Oh my, that must have been some cake!! We like carrot cake here; our mom has to watch when she gets some because so many have raisins in them. We may have to figure out how to get one of those cakes from Three Dog Bakery sent out here!
Mom is surprised we are all so nuts about it. She doesn’t like the human carrot cake but we sure love the dog one!
That must have really been some canine supercharged cake the way y’all went after it. You need to take one of those cakes to the next sniffing competition and leave it in the car to throw your competitors off MOL! I am glad you enjoyed it.
LOL, you guys have great ideas!
I know it wasn’t funny at the time, but this will be a funny family story someday.. Happy Birthday, Olivia!
It was funny at the time, but Mom had to figure out how to keep the table and cake safe and get us all to pose for a nice photo. It has provided a lot of laughs.
Kids just wanna have fun! We must give this party FOUR PAWS UP … at least it will go down in history, oh yeah!
It sure will. Fun was had and it was totally crazy!
Wow, that must have been some tasty cake! It sure looked yummy. What a lovely birthday party (even if it was short).
Short and tasty. We all had fun and that is most important.
I’m sorry but in my opinion this is the BEST and most HILARIOUS birthday party ever!!
We only wish we had a video of Madison making the run and jump for the table. The carrot cake at Three Dog Bakery is worth whatever it takes to get a piece.
