Ready for Independence Day

Newton: I’m ready for the Independence Day parade!

Cupcake: Mr. Newton, what happened to your mane?

Newton: This isn’t my mane. It’s my festive costume for Independence Day.

Cupcake: Can I wear a festive costume, too?

Newton: Sure, kid, try this one on.

Newton: You just slip it over your head.

Cupcake: Like this?

Newton: Well … that isn’t how I do it, but whatever works for you, kid.

Cupcake: It’s kind of big. Does this come in extra small?

Newton: I think it’s safer if I just parade by myself.

    MOL! My human found a fun red, white and blue elastic hair band at Michael’s that JUST fit me and probably would have been perfect for Cupcake. You can see it in today’s post.

      We’re figuring that out the hard way! The big cats are all letting her be in charge of everything but mealtime.

    It looks like Cupcake likes to play with it more than wear it, MOL! We hope you all have a wonderful Independence Day! <3

    Cupcake, you are a character. Bet Newton enjoyed the show and had a few snickers behind his paw as well. Happy 4th everyone. Stay safe! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy

    Newton, how manly of you to let Cupcake have your collar! Remember, he’s a baby…not well-versed in a lot of things yet. Happy Independence Day!

    You are looking very festive, Newton. Cupcake is having way more fun with your costume though.

    I love Newton’s face while watching little Cupcake fumble with his costume ! They are adorable ! I tried to get my Gracie to wear a patriotic bow for a picture, but she would have none of that !
