BAILEYS CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE

But before we get to the specifics of this cake, I can’t help but reminisce a little about that time we had two pugs. In a different life. Before kids. Jorden had fallen in love with pugs somewhere along the line and somehow convinced me to drive to a breeder about an hour away to look at some pug puppies. Now. I’ve never been much of a dog person (I was deathly afraid of them as a child) so I was not *quite* as excited about this idea as he was.

But. Have you ever seen pug puppies? They’re seriously CUTE. And, as you might guess, we (or should I say I) fell in love and we went home with one that night. End of story! I instantly went from a non-dog person to a puppy mom. And I loved Oscar. A lot.

There were sometimes, though, that I loved him a little less. And one of those times is forever burned in my brain. I had just made the most amazing homemade brownies…..and he somehow got ahold of a ziploc bag of them and ate. them. ALL! The telltale sign? The chewed-up bag with approximately 2.2 chocolate crumbs left in it. Which, of course, meant a trip to the emergency vet clinic, a couple runs around the block at a ridiculous hour, and all the worry that goes along with your dog devouring chocolate!
