My friend Gretchen is a great big spoiler. This weekend we received a box of yummy Valentine's Day cookies from her.
[Gretchen has a blog-
Whenever Possible, Make a U-Turn- but she hasn't posted to it in over a year. Perhaps this will encourage her to give it another go? She's an outstanding writer and should try the whole blogging thing again.]
The kids were all enjoying the cookies.

These weren't just any cookies, mind you. These were
Harry and David cookies. I thought I was demonstrating fine sharing skills by telling the kids about them.

Greeley was enjoying this heart shaped cookie that was almost as big as her head. Perhaps it was a little too big for her. Shortly after I took this picture, she dropped half the cookie on the floor.

That was when we learned that when there's a dog in the house, the question of the five second rule is really a rhetorical question.

I notice that Shea is permitting you to take photos lately. Or maybe you keep surprising him. The cookie looks on their faces are so varied and intense!
Shea: Awesome cookie!
Atlee: The cookie is comfort and happiness.
Greeley - Step away from the cookie.
And no photos of Cady eating up the remnants of Atlee's cookie. Why is that?
My guess would be that it's hard to photograph a dog when it's moving faster than the speed of light in pursuit of a tasty cookie on the floor.
P.S. The word that blogger is asking me to type for verification is "lame". You should ask blogger to give you more reader-energizing words like "perky" or "cookie"!
I'm sure the dog was so happy that she was sharing...
LOL, so true, so true. Sometimes when dogs are around you need a 2 second rule. Dogs are fast.

John and Monique are visiting and I just learned about your drive to neuter Rich. I always like to be helpful so I contributed, but with some ambivalence after looking at the pictures of the beautiful children you and rich make. Not sure that #4 isn't a good idea!
