Relationships run the world.

It’s how we get things accomplished. No one man, woman, or pup is an island. We don’t achieve anything by ourselves. All of our current and future goals are achieved through more than just hard work. They are achieved through the relationships we build with one another. That’s why it’s extremely important to build your social network.

Building relationships and broadening our social circle is more than just handing out contact information or growing our social media pages. It’s about connecting to someone through her emotional needs. It has been proven that people are willing to support someone based on their emotional connection. So, what does that mean for you? You have to work on genuinely bonding with people on an emotional level. That way, as your social network grows so will your support.

For instance, every morning I jump in Mom’s bed, crawl under the covers, and lay right beside her. During the few moments between the time Mom’s alarm goes off and the actual time she gets out of bed, it gives us a chance to connect. Morning snuggles are one of my favorite times of the day. It’s our own time to bond with each other and connect before the day even gets started. It’s also my time to show Mom how much I support her.

These Apple Peanut Butter Bundt Cake Pupcakes are dedicated to genuinely building positive relationships.

And of course, we believe that every pupcake has a love story. So, while your favorite pup is PUPPY LOVIN’ on these pupcakes, we’d love to hear from you.

Discuss a time when a genuine connection with somebody helped you achieve your goal.
