Cook's Helpers

I am never without company when I am cooking. Emme and Rudy love to come into the kitchen when I am preparing meals. They lie down on the floor in a good down/stay while I cut, chop, and cook. They love to get tastes of the food I am preparing. I often give them a piece of a vegetable or fruit I am cutting up. They have tasted carrots, green peppers, strawberries, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, celery, apples, and others. They seem to like them all. Emme's favorite for the entertainment factor is cherry tomatoes. She will roll them on the floor, lick them, put them in her mouth and throw them up in the air so she can run after them. After I am done in the kitchen, I give them each a puppy biscuit and then they leave the kitchen and lie down in another room until something else exciting happens.
