Life in the Emerald City

Today I came home and let the dogs out of their kennel as usual.  Mackenzie must have been thinking about her left overs from last night all day, b/c she immediately went over to her regular eating place…the chair!  She’s a princess, I know; we put her food on the chair so Madison doesn’t eat it before she can…Madi will eat everything in the time it take Kenzie to eat her first bite!  So, we put Kenzie’s food up on the chair and she eats there now.  Usually, she never finishes her food and we just place her bowl up on the tables in front of the chairs. (We’re lazy, I know).  So today, Mackenzie figured out how to put her paws up on the table and get at her left over food.  Not that we mind that much (although now we know we can’t leave human food up there), but it’s always better the dogs don’t get up on the tables where we eat!  So, here are a few good shots of Mackenzie, enjoying her leftovers while learning a new trick!

Sneaky Mackenzie builds a bridge to her leftovers!

Doh! Mom caught me!  He he!

In other news, I made a great new soup today…Eggplant Tomato!   MMMMMMmmmmmm……  I’ve posted the recipe on my food blog, La Cucina della Vaniglia.  Check it out if you up for an easy, but very good soup!

Tomorrow starts the Gator football season with a home game against Hawai’i.  Wish us luck!!

Ciao!
