Well, I take that back. One thing was different. If you've followed our blog for a long time, you might recall that Blueberry has a certain penchant for pie. The girl just can't seem to help herself. Actually, the dogs usually do get very excited when they see us start to bake, because often we do bake treats for them. Last year, I recall the cookie baking we did was very closely supervised by three Greyhounds.
This year, while I whipped up the Caramel Apple Salad, I was closely watched again, by Morgan. Lilac, Blueberry and Bunny didn't smell anything particularly interesting at that point, so they'd gone back to the living room to rest until things got more interesting. Morgan, however, stayed on duty. She even stayed nearby as I began to make the Pumpkin Cheesecake. I found an added benefit to having a German Shepherd during this holiday, though.
That's right -- Morgan deemed herself protector of the pie. She let me know that I could retire to the living room with no worries and that she'd keep things under control. It sure is a relief to know that the pies are safe. It's probably for the best that dinner wasn't at our house. Morgan would have been forced to keep everyone from eating the pie. That might have been more of a burden than she was prepared to shoulder. Ah, if only she could have kept Mr. Taleteller from dumping the pie on the floor when we got home from our dinner!
A GSD's work is nevFUR done!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Morgan!

ReplyDeleteWe too have a couple of protectors of any happenings in the kitchen. And they help me keep the counter clean! Chance actually took it upon himself to start doing the dishes I hadn't gotten to yet, in the sink.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Morgan takes her job very seriously. Isn't it great to have such good helpers?? BOL
Yes a GSD is a good watcher of pies in the oven!
ReplyDeleteWhere would you be without them!

Good old Morgan! Hope everyone had a lovely meal and Mr Taleteller didn't get into too much trouble. That's the sort of thing the Man Of The House would do at our place.

ReplyDeleteGood Job Morgan. They are so luck to have a Pie Guarding GSD. The HoundDogs
ReplyDeleteI would like to have the title "Protector of the Pie." Come to think of it, my Dad would like that job too!!
ReplyDeleteIf Morgan gets tired of guarding the pies, I'll take over for her. ;0)
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it Morgan, the pie would be really safe in your tummy. No one could get it there. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
A most important job, Morgan! Who doesn't love pie!
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
Did I read that right? Pie falling from the sky? Score!
ReplyDeleteSlobbers,

Morgan sure is cute. Did she get any pie for all of her hard work?
ReplyDeleteNow Morgan is protecting pies :) What a protector she is. I bet that she enjoyed that pie on the floor!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
Oh no! He really dropped the pie? Did he get a time out for that?
ReplyDeleteKisses,

I'm already pondering job titles - Protector of the Pie, Keeper of the Cake...
ReplyDelete;)
That sounds like a pie that needs protecting. Pumpkin Cheesecake! Yummo!

Go Morgan! That's fantastic. We need a pie-guarder around our house. Shiva will often lay by the oven like that too, but no because she's "protecting" whatever is in there.
ReplyDeleteDo you rent her out?
A pie protector! I love it! Morgan, you have found your calling in life!!
ReplyDeleteGuarding the pie. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it. Nice work Morgan!
ReplyDelete"My pie."
ReplyDelete*EEK* You didn't drop the pie, the scared pie, the traditional pie... NOOOO. I bet that really hurt :(
ReplyDeleteYou hav a good job guarding the pie. Hope it was worth it
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Morgan, you have found your calling in life. We sure hope you at least got a taste of that pie.
ReplyDeletePhantom is the pie lover here - he would do anything for some of Mom's homemade apple pie. He managed to get some tonight too:)

Good job, Morgan!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a reward after your hard work!
Kisses and hugs
