Not really a joke, but I think it's hilarious!
I promise you, this is 100% true...
On a Facebook group I belong to, there was a post which said,
xxxxxxxxxxxx
is looking for recommendations.
Hello everyone, does anyone know where I can find places sell cakes made for dogs?
The child in me prompted me to ask,
Wedding cake or birthday cake?
Back came the unadorned answer:
birthday cake
+
I was laughing my socks off at this, but since then there have been other replies:-
xxxxx xxxxx
made a really yummy cake for her dog's bd. My dogs loved it.
followed by another that basically said, I can give you my doggy cake recipe or I can make it/them for the cost of materials!
I dabble in cake making and would happily try a design if you have something in mind!
I'm not trying to antagonise dog lovers, but the whole thing seems just to be a huge joke to me.
+
Am I losing my mind? Do dog-lovers really go out to make birthday cakes for their pets? It would seem so, but having received a serious reply to my question of whether the dog's cake needed to be a birthday cake or a wedding cake, I have a feeling there's too great a gap between my idea of sensible, and that of dog lovers.

How would dogs know it was their birthday if they didn't get a birthday cake?

Not to mention humans.
Dogs don't have birth certificates. Many have honorary birthdays arbitrarily ascribed by their humans, who don't know the real date.
Like Gods. No wonder they're anagrams.

Re: Not really a joke, but I think it's hilarious!
Doggy birthday cake is just the start of a very slobbery slope.
Doggy ice cream, doggy beer, even doggy prosecco are all available. After all, you wouldn't want Rover to feel he's missing out at the human picnic, would you?
Google will throw up (pun intended ) all of the above if you search for them.

Which country?
Russia, USA or the UK? Sorry, but I don't know any more countries with people so thick.

I can quite believe it too. I've seen "doggy ice cream" in shops so why not birthday cake?
I also follow quite a few people on Instagram, and the girls on there are crazy about their dogs and cats. "I've only had you for two months, but I can't conceive of life without you".
Or xxx's first walk today (followed by video) Or xxxx meets Auntie this or Uncle that. Or she looks so lovely when she's asleep! And naturally lots of pets being cradled like babies and endless videos of clever tricks of the child. I mean pet.

Empathy should not be underestimated: it's a great human quality, not an indication of being thick.
The odd thing to me is that we love animals, dote on them evem, but we are quite happy to eat them too.
If only we would harness this empathy to pour more effort into respect for the natural world.

Re: Not really a joke, but I think it's hilarious!
It is preferable to hear about people looking after their animals rather than hurting them.
Differentiating between animal welfare and the environment..both are important.
I'm probably classed as one of those "animal softies" being a vegetarian for the last 20+ years.

Re: Not really a joke, but I think it's hilarious!
I always laugh at the number of mobile doggy grooming vans that seem to be on the road. How did society survive without them?

Re: Not really a joke, but I think it's hilarious!
All sounds very catty to me
----
My last dog's official date as far as i am concerned was her first injection date. The only date of hers I commemorate, more of a remember than anything, is the day and time she died in 2007.
The (human) breeder whose puppy (we have named Molly) we shall be getting very shortly has told me the puppy's birth date. Mrs Bnc is not so minded but were it up to me I would get the puppy's astrological chart done. I shall be careful how I tell Mrs Bnc about this thread in case she insists upon birthday cakes for Molly.

Mrs Bnc and I are also vegetarian, me for the last 36 years. We are not intending to feed our imminent puppy vegetarian food or vegan for that matter but we shall be feeding her organic dog food containing no artificial additives and preservatives. If we were not vegetarian then we could share our meat, poultry, game and fish with Molly because feeding dogs on raw food is the best way to help keep them healthy.
i would have to buy the raw meat, etc, rather than expect Molly to hunt for herself. There is a sign on the main road nearby to watch out for deer but I've yet to see any.

Dogs are sentient beings, with emotions just like human beings, I should think that the whole thing about humans celebrating their birthdays is a huge joke to dogs too.

Hello everyone, does anyone know where I can find places sell cakes made for dogs?
If you fancy posting a useful answer there's a shop in Broadway in the Cotswolds which sells an incredible range of doggy treats, I'd be amazed if they didn't do both birthday cakes and wedding cakes or they would probably do them to order if asked!

That's why they want you to watch out for them, in case anyone unexpectedly sees one! It's another, "dogs must be carried on the escalator,": situations that can be read in a different way to that intended.

Dogs again?
I carried my God, and when they challenged me I pleaded dyslexia.

reminds me of my second-favourite joke.
Q) What does DNA stand for?
A) National Dyslexic Association.
When I tell this in a pub, someone nearly always starts correcting this, then tails off, which gets a second laugh!

Totally [expletive deleted] bonkers. Are there not more serious things in this world worthy of their attention? C.
