Mom’s Husband Sends Flowers, Then She Looks At Tag And Sees They Aren’t For Her

She explained that when he’s gone, it’s not unusual for him to send flowers home every now and then to show he’s thinking about her.

However, in this case, the flowers were directed to a different family member, the Cardones’ very appreciative bulldog, Sebastian!

The pooch, who is a beloved member of the family, wasn’t feeling like himself. Sebastian had to have a double ACL surgery on his aging knees and was feeling much less energetic and exuberant than usual.

His dad was so worried that he sent him flowers and wrote: “Sebastian, Feel better you’ll be back in the game very soon. Love Daddy.”

Awww! Our hearts are melting, that’s for sure.

Sebastian just recently celebrated his tenth birthday, which is a major milestone for dogs! This adorable guy is officially a senior dog, and apparently his knees knew it.

He had two of his knees repaired, and the whole family spoiled him with lots of extra love and attention during his recovery.

But Dad’s gift really takes the cake! And now, Sebastian is a viral superstar as a result!

After Lily’s original tweets took off, she went back online to wryly note, “It only took 10 years and an ACL surgery for people to finally realize that Sebastian is a star.”

She wasn’t the only one impressed by her pup’s major star power. 1-800-Flowers, the company that delivered the gift, also made sure to send their love to the bulldog, and to the rest of the family.

They sent a series of notes, reading:

“Sebastian, we wish you a speedy recovery filled with belly rubs and treats!”

“Lily, wishing you a wonderful Valentine’s Day!”

“Debbie, just a little something to thank you for all that you do and to wish you a very happy Valentine’s Day!”

Dad, if you are taking notes, I think you’ve been outplayed.

Of course, those notes didn’t arrive all on their own! 1-800-Flowers sent the whole family six stunning arrangements.

There’s Sebastian, sitting proudly in the middle. That is one very good boy!
