Dogs in the Kitchen

As observers, not as ingredients!

We have four small dogs, (combined gross weight of maybe 40 pounds), only one of which might be mistaken for well behaved, and that's only because he's old and sleeps most of the time!

Whenever I'm in the kitchen they circle my center island like furry grounded vultures, especially when my de facto grandkids (M-11, M-4, F-1) are "helping", and they know that the odds of food heading their way are greatly enhanced.

Their motto is : "Whatever hits the floor is mine." although Jenna (F-1) will sometimes give them some competition. Usually the Pomeranian (M-3) get there first, followed by the Mini-Poo (F-4), and the Shih Tzu (M-1). Then I'll hand-deliver a share to the Terri-Poo (M-15), wherever he's laying.

Sometimes, with all the eyes on me, and little feet around me, it's like cooking in a football stadium .... during a game!

Do you allow dogs, other pets, (or grandkids for that matter), in the kitchen while you cook?
