What's Better than Cupcakes? Cupcakes x 3!

Jim's favorites - Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting in all their deliciousness:


Yes, I had three in one day.  Don't judge.

Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting made with real, fresh strawberries.  Like there should be any other kind of strawberry cupcakes.  Who do you think you're talking to?


And I can't take all the credit for this - Jim came up with the idea!  Lemon Cupcakes with Basil Frosting and Toasted Pinenuts (Lemon Pesto Cupcakes)!  Could this be the next big thing?  Well, our doggies certainly wouldn't have minded one... or two...

When Coco Met Mango

Something was missing from our lives... what could it possibly be?  The answer came in the form of...

ANOTHER PUPPY!!


Have you ever seen a happier puppy?!  Coco is pure labby and pure joy, all rolled into one little furball of love.

We adopted Coco(nut) from Indie Lab Rescue, where she was originally named Pixie.  We soon christened her Coconut, partly because she's a little nutty, but most importantly, we just wanted her name to match Mango's (our other puppy's)!  We went through a list of tropical fruit names when we were driving her back home, and Coconut was the best.  Plus, don't you think Mango and Coco just has a certain ring to it?

Annnnnnd... more gratuitous pictures of the little troublemaker:

  





Can you believe the little cutie was terrified of going up the stairs her first night home?  We had to coax her up slowly with treats and a curious Mango circling Coco's every step up.  Our laptop cord also fell as the first of many casualties to a teething little Coco puppy, but how can you resist that cute face?!

PS - Please visit Indie Lab Rescue if you live in Southern California and want to provide a forever home for an adoring labby!
