Grace's Real Estate

Gracie likes to hang out in the kitchen especially when I’m cooking. What dog doesn’t? Our kitchen is not large so there isn’t a whole lot of room even when she isn’t in there.

Don't Mind Me

Gracie’s first inclination is to stare me down in the hopes of getting a tidbit of something to eat. When that fails she “splays” herself out on the floor and takes the rightful amount of real estate she feels she deserves. She isn’t in her begging mode but she is still right there in the action should a morsel of food come her way. I don’t have a problem with her in the kitchen by any means. The problem is “where” her real estate happens to be. The old adage “you make a better door than a window” probably holds true here, except the door happens to be lying on my floor. It would be too easy for her to be out of the flow of traffic, but no, she is right there in the thick of things. When all else fails,

Perfection Takes Time

to heck with first serving, “I’ll wait for cleanup time”. Thats right, dishwasher duty. Gracie isn’t proud. If she can’t get it on the first go around she is willing to wait for the “dishwasher load”. I don’t know why I even rinse the plates before putting them in the dishwasher as she hopes for an unwanted green bean, a reamed out potato skin or a dressed up slice of tomato that never quite made into the owner’s mouth.
