The Dog Days of Dog Day
August 26, 2015 It's National Dog Day, wrecky minions!
Now, I realize it can be difficult to celebrate dogs when cats are so OBVIOUSLY superior, but hear me out:
1) Dogs are people, too.
;)
Specifically, a kind of mutant Sheep People.
2) Today is the PERFECT day to show your dog-loving friends that you respect their life choices, and that you, too, can appreciate a wet nose in the crotch from time to time.*
;)
"LET US AT IT."
[*Kidding, no one appreciates that. But don't tell the dog people.]
And thirthly, and most importantly, without dogs we would never have these cakes:
;)
(Wow, they really DO poop everywhere.)
Though to be fair, I'm pretty sure most of these bakers have never actually SEEN a dog.
For example: bakers, I'm preeetty sure the legs don't go there:
;)
"Woofth."
THIS IS YOUR DOG:
;)
THIS IS YOUR DOG ON DRUGS:
;)
ANY ORDERS?
And finally, is that a real dog biscuit??
;)
'Cuz judging by Sunglasses' smug smile, I'm betting it is.
Well, thanks to Celia M., Steff, Julie, Natalie S., Julie D., Lisa, Kimberly & Lindsay N. for proving once again that even cat CAKES are bet... uh...
;)
Never mind.
Happy Dog Day, everybody.

Maybe most bakers are cat people?
That dog biscuit might actually be a graham cracker. There is one brand shaped just like that called Scooby Snacks that we like. I can see something embossed on it, but can't make it out...
I like them. Looks like they were made with, you know, longing. Made by a person really longed to see a dog.
Cats superior to dogs?
Show me a seeing-eye cat. Until you do, your position is not tenable.
How much is that doggie in the window (woof, woof?)
The one with a head, but no tail.
How much is that Doggie in the window (woof, woof?)
Doesn't matter. There isn't a price low enough. Really, just keep it.
Is the Wang-ear Retriever officially recognized by the American Kennel Club?
Aw, no reprise of the Coiled Craphound?
Fingers crossed that's a Scooby Snack, which is a graham cracker shaped like a bone. But I'm not particularly confident in that hope.
I think the hissing/spitting cat pretty much sums up the dog cakes (and cat cake - if indeed that's what it is). The "poop" hound looks slightly "Daliesque."
Thanks Jen--another pawesome collection of terrierfying wrecks! If you're having a ruff day, or feeling melancollie, they are sure to unleash a smile. But I worry about the bakers. These are litterally the shih-tziest cakes I've seen in a coon's age. I'm sure that they're tired of being hounded about their skills, but I think they need to check their lab reports. Maybe a CAT scan is needed? I hear that a specialist, Dr. Pavlov, is willing to help turn these losers into weiners. I hope that a cure is not too far fetched, because if these catastrophes continue to pile up, there won't be any room left to stand in the bakery case.
My two year old recognized them all as dogs, even the cat (but then she may have been referring to the actual cat). Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess, even more so if the beholder is just 2 years old.
Why would someone use a satin whip on a dog, as is written on the sign on the first photo? That's just mean.
I absolutely LOVED the cat photobomb with the look on the cat cake's face! PERFECT.
BTW, dogs RULE...but don't tell the kitty mafia at my house. They hold grudges!
2nd to the last picture, that red cake thing w/ the sunglasses reminds me of the McDonalds French Fry Goblins.
These are not dogs!
1) Love child of Tasmanian devil and a panda
2) Wookie head meets a Yeti head
3)???
4) Goggled eyed walrus
5) squid head
6) squid head on drugs
7) Okay maybe one of those is a dog (Maybe)
8) cats
@ jackwire -
AWESOME post. Love it! meo
Can I just say that I love Abby Normal's Firefly quote there.
@jackwire: your grasp of pun is much better than these bakers' grasp of dog!
I'm sure that at least 2 of these are actually hammerhead sharks, they sure don't look like dogs!
I had no idea that Lady Cassandra had a dog!
Re: that fourth cake--I could have told you that you don't want to adopt a Pripyat Poodle, no matter how much the discount at the SPCA. Darn things always run their mouths.
@JMixx: Your post is sure to generate a wave of glowing reviews, but are you sure the animal in question isn't a Fukushima Sheepdog?
I lost it at "this is your dog, this is your dog on drugs". Well...somebody was on drugs when they made that second one!
Jackwire, I think I love you.
Cue the Sarah McLachlan ASPCA sad, abandoned puppy PSA.
Jackwire, whichever breed it is, it has committed a serious faux pas. (Or is that a fou paw?)
@LuLu -Moisturize me! Moisturize me!
@Jackwire -Laughing at your comments, we scared our Cairn Terror so bad she made a poodle.
The only Scooby Snacks we've seen, are dog treats.
I think the first one looks like the decapitated head of a Bumble. I wonder if just the head would bounce? ;-)
@JMixx: Faux paw, FTW!
Why thank you, jackwire! *curtsy* I think those paws are both faux *and* foux!
Wow that cat has it correct. Hissing is just about what anyone should do seeing these cakes. And if that first one is a cupcake.. exactly how much frosting is on that thing? Lol if it is only one cupcake under all of that I fear the sugar rush whoever bought it will get.
Dogs rule, cats drool!
Nah, I love cats, too, but dogs will always be #1 in my heart. Mainly 'cause dogs can actually love you back, while cats are little sociopaths who only tolerate you because you give them food.
When I looked at #1, I could hear Joe screaming: "IKKAKUMON WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU"
