Posing For Pancakes

Hi Everybuddy -
Despite a rainy start, the weekend turned out very well. That guy named Jack (a.k.a. Jack Frost) chased summer (summer with a small "s", not Summer with the capital "s") away and now Fall is here for awhile. Our girl decided it was a great time to make some pancakes. Pancakes are one of my favorites so I made myself very available to help out.

"Yep - that's looks to be just about perfect"

Here's a closer look at the work in progress. Doesn't that look yummy??:

Note my strategic positioning so that if she takes a couple steps back she'll trip and I'll have to rescue a flying flapjack. Clever huh? :

"Now just a couple steps back...that's it...."

Here I am teaching Shyla one of my techniques to getting what I want. Cute huh? :

"Please may I have some now?"

My strategy worked! We all enjoyed the fruits of her labor and got some pancake pieces . It's always beneficial when there's a couple that don't come out quite right. Shyla can't have wheat but she was able to enjoy some scrambled eggs. Mmmmm! It was a great day!

GREAT going, Echo! I love how you're doing the froggie doggie pose RIGHT behind your girl! I love to do that, too! And look at how your paws are crossed! That's so helpful - if you did that here, you'd get a million pancakes, I just know it. Our great sister Jesse used to lay like that and any time we accidentally stumble onto that pose, we get lavished with stuff. Note to self: emulate Jesse's poses more often.
Great work - hope you guys enjoyed your pancakes and eggs!
Play bows,
Zim

Woo'all have that "lookin cute" thing down to a science, our mama said such cute faces would get anything they want here! (yeah, we pretty much do, that's why Chili's on a diet & Mikki's being threatened with one...it's all those great treats humom's been baking from the HTH recipe book!)
Thanks for the offer to send me a snowball, I'll be waiting by the mailbox!
Manykisses,

We love to help when pancakes are being made, too! We love to help when ANYTHING is being made. That is a great strategy to be under foot of the humans as much as possible. That almost guarentees a mishap on the humans part. Nice going teaching Shyla your strategy! The more help the better. Belly Rubs, Tasha & Eva.

You lay wif yur back legs out like me, Echo! Pancakes are yummy. I never turn down the offer of a pancake myself when our daddy makes them (he's the pancake expert in our house). He makes one specially for just Juni & me.
