KP Duty

I haven't had a lot of time to cook recently. I really enjoy it, but it's been one heck of a busy summer around here. *I really feel like we missed summer. I am secretly very openly jealous of all these people I know on Facebook/Blogger who have laid on beaches or taken naps. NAPS??? No fair ;)* So anyway...when I finally got around to doing some cooking earlier today I realized I didn't have anything interesting in the bread department to go with it. So I was in the process of making some extremely gourmet good ol' garlic toast. :) I had my back turned to Merrick, which is illegal in our house, while working on another part of dinner. I turned back around to find this:
Merrick was a little too hungry to wait for dinner to be finished apparently. So, of course, I let him keep eating our toast, using his best table manners, while I took pictures. :)

He wasn't too happy when I told him I needed to toast the toast, before we ate dinner...But...he distracted himself by *washing* the dishes. He may not have the best table manners, but he's not afraid of a little kitchen duty. ;)
