Did Somebody Say "Bacon"?!

I swear I just heard somebody say "bacon". As you can see, I'm poised and ready for the Standard Treat Routine. I sit, stick my left paw in the air positioned to shake. Jeni skips the sit portion and jumps right to the dance. She'll hop around on her back legs, sometimes moving around in a circle. She can do the sit, shake, other paw trick when she wants to...but she's so dramatic and it takes forever. We can "speak" on command, some of us better than others. I start with the Little Girl Bark and move to the louder, more boistrous Big Girl Bark when prompted. Jeni does everything with gusto and thinks the Little Girl Bark is for whimps. I can rollover...3 times in a row, if you're lucky. Jeni can do it with some help, but she's skeptical that I'm going to pounce on her or something while her bare midriff is exposed. As I mentioned, Jeni's the dancer in the household. She can hop around like a kangaroo for almost a minute, if she thinks the treat deserves her energy. We'll do just about anything for facon (fake bacon). Biscuits are OK, but don't get us all revved up like bacon, tiny t-bone steaks...or cheese.

Oh! Gotta run...I hear somebody opening the treat bags on the back porch! - Later, KC
