Sundogday!

                                         Sundog in the kitchen-  a food hound!

Aloha nui loa,

It's Sundoggie day!

 Mattie is in the kitchen with Dina, waiting for her brunch. What a surprise! Our two kitchen dogs don't know that a new breed is forming through their undying quest for viddles! The "Foodlehound", has mixed bloodlines, and only lives in kitchens on the rug next to the stove. Light color makes them easy to see, for less tripping -over or stepping- on types of accidents. Known as a forager dog: Day and night, acting as a swiffer-- they suck up crumbs and dropped food products as they appear. This breed will become a handy dog to have around the house, keeps the floor and surrounding areas of the kitchen (fridge, trash) clean as a whistle.

The Foodlehound defends and guards aggressively, food lockers, rootcellars, the pantry and deep freeze. Foodlehounds clean-up nicely with minimal fuss in the standard size dishwasher, just add dog shampoo instead of dishwashing liquid and keep the door ajar slightly for air flow. Air-dry warm setting replaces old fashioned messy towel drying. Foodlehounds sleep excessively, but are startled by the tiniest sound of clamoring in the kitchen. Exercise hard twice daily, as a practice to prevent dog obesity. One regular to small dog feeding of only salad (no dressing) to help keep trim and healthy. This breed is an excellent choice for large families, the Italian Mama or a beginning cook--they gobble cooking flops right up! Warning!!! Do not leave trash cans or food on the counter unattended or uncovered.....like a goat they will eat anything and everything in sight. They do climb and can jump up to 12 ft. A great pet overall, loving and content if allowed constant access to the kitchen.

My chow hounds, Matilda and Ginger are now asleep, after a brilliant brunch--one here at my feet, the other getting her tan out back......on a wonderful breezy Sundog day here on Maui!

A hui hou!~
