Cinder & Smokey aren't very *fussy* about having / not having "company"
around for dinner!

BOTH started out being SUPER food GOBBLERS - put it down and
STEP BACK - the Krunchie Vacuums would jam their snouts into
the bowl while the Krunch was still pouring out of the measuring cup!
Not Good, said I...

So in keeping with the "Noting In Life Is *FREE*" philosophy...

They have to *SIT* and *wait* POLITELY while the Krunch is Poured...
Then do a *SHAKE* (RIGHT Paw ONLY)...
Followed by a *KISS for Dad*...
THEN they can eat after the "OK" is said...
That's the "plan"...

CINDER ~
"Cheats" when she can get away with it...
Instead of a *SIT* - she'll "stand"...
The *shake* is often a very abbreviated "Slap Five" ...
and the *Kiss for Dad* is often nothing more than a "toothy" Mouth-Butt!
SHE often has to repeat the drill once or twice!
Then (only at Home) - she ALWAYS *dashes* out of the kitchen, around
the dining room, and back into the kitchen -
THEN dives into her bowl!

SMOKEY ~
Throws in a few "extras" - he does a series of Paw-Springs
(JUMPING straight UP - his feet clear the floor by at least two feet!)
as I walk from Cinder's bowl to his...
His *Sit & Shake* are always done with drill-team "precision"...
And he'll often toss in an extra 4 or 5 FAST *Kisses*!
Then - if he doesn't HEAR the "OK- Gobble Up!" release...
He continues to hold his *sit* - gets a Very Worried Expression -
and Looks at the Bowl - Looks at Me - Looks at the Bowl...
until I repeat the "OK! GOBBLE UP!" phrase!

They both "SUCK it ALL up" at about the same rate;
then swap bowls to see if the Other One "missed anything"!

"Meals" NEVER last longer than 2 minutes - TOPS!
Can you say Eager Eaters!?
