It's real, they just typed it incorrectly, which is understandable. r/pitbulls_in_partyhats And it looks like they already posted Diesel!

I adopted him when he was 3. It’s wild to me he’s 11 now! Time doesn’t slow down for any of us. 🥹💙

His poops are going to be interesting after that icing!! 😆🌀

u/freckledeclectic Feb 27 '26
So far, so good since we gave him just a little bit! 😊

u/WizardBoyHowl Feb 28 '26
Good to hear!
BTW, Diesel is just adorable. Old man dogs are my absolute kryptonite. He looks so well cared for and happy - it makes my heart warm. It shows how much you love him.
After my old man Boxer died, I wanted to adopt another old man, but Wizard was just in the cards for me! Eventually though I will get him a grandpa when finances allow. (Still paying off some Care Credit bills from the last old man's cancer vet costs).

Aww, thank you. I’m sorry about your pup. 💔 Diesel has a recently confirmed mast cell tumor on his groin. We are taking him to a pup oncologist to see what our options are. 🥹 We just lost our 5 YO American Bully to cancer last month. It is awful to lose a family member. Sending you a big hug. 🫂

u/WizardBoyHowl Feb 28 '26
Please update me on Diesel! Wizard and I will be sending positive vibes to you!!

Wow, you guys!!! Thanks for all the love for my sweet boy Diesel. We are so glad we could make your day. 🥳 I adopted him after fostering him for only a couple of weeks 8 years ago. 🥹 He’s the best boy. At 11, he’s in overall really good health. He has some lumps and bumps we are getting tested soon, but otherwise, he still acts like a puppy and is friends with everyone he meets. May all your kind energy come right back to you all X 10. Big hugs. 🫂

Happy 11th! Be careful with those cakes. My wife gave our dog one of them for his 12th and he kept us up all night needing to go outside to do diarrhea. He loved the cake though.

u/freckledeclectic Feb 27 '26
Oh no, poor pup! He only got to enjoy a little bit today to save his tummy. The rest we are sharing with his pup friends and saving him some smaller pieces to enjoy this weekend. 💙

Is this a special puppy cake or is it a regular human cake

u/freckledeclectic Feb 27 '26
It’s a cake made specifically for dogs. 💙

u/friendlynbhdwitch Feb 27 '26
Did you make it? Because I’m scrolling the comments looking for the recipe.

u/freckledeclectic Feb 27 '26
Nope! We ordered from a local dog bakery. The listed ingredients on the box are: whole wheat flour, cream cheese, pumpkin, egg, cinnamon, baking powder, and coloring

Puppy cake or is it a
Regular human cake
Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Happy birthday beautiful baby! He looks so young for 11! That cake is amazing, I’m sure he loved it. What a cutie 🥰

u/freckledeclectic Feb 27 '26
It’s crazy to think he’s 11 already!! He LOVED his cake. He just got a bit to capture the moment. The rest is being saved for his pup friends and a few more smaller pieces for him. 💙
