One dog frets dad is leaving — both get pup cups

One dog frets dad is leaving — both get pup cups

"Today is Cowboy's 4 month birthday so I decided to take him for a little surprise!" his person wrote. "Of course Cactus was included too."


Cactus is the kind of dog who notices a goodbye forming. On-screen, the question lands before anyone reaches the door: "Dad why does it look like you're leaving?"

His person had a birthday errand brewing. On-screen text spells out the secret — don't tell Cowboy; it's the puppy's first pup cup — then flips the worry on its head: "And you're comin!"

Cowboy was turning four months old. That was the whole point of the outing. Cactus just made sure the surprise came with a plus-one.

Watch the leaving scare turn into a dual pup-cup run here:

By the time the cups come back, Cowboy has already snuck toward the front seat — the on-screen text calls him out — and the order is for two. Both faces find the whipped cream. "Good boys," then "Mission success."

"Love making memories with my boys," his person wrote.
