The other day I was playing with my favorite Lamb Chop toy. Just tossing it around and trying like anything to make it squeak. When all of a sudden, I tossed Lamb Chop so far that…

She flew clear across the room and landed on top of the couch.

Mom just looked at me and laughed. I just stared at her, wondering what was so funny. I was also trying to decide whether it was even worth walking all the way over to the other side of the room to get Lamb Chop or to maybe just choose another toy that was closer. I mean, really it would’ve been much easier for me to just grab something else. I stood there thinking for a moment, and then Mom said to me…

She’s right, I didn’t realize how strong I am.   She smiled, grabbed Lamb Chop and handed it back to me. It’s a good thing too because then I could keep playing with my first toy choice instead of settling for something else. So if strength means we don’t settle, and the things we want come right to us, then I’m all for it.

These Strawberry Shortcake Pupcakes are perfect for those pups who tap into their own strength.

Try one and let us know what you think. Also, we believe that every pupcake has a story. So, we’d love to hear your pupcake story…
