I was looking for Mike's shortbread recipe on here and found this great post about it. It was one of our longest running ( may still be) posts ever. It is hillarious because Dee Dee actually bakes the shortbread and is sooo excited. For those of you who haven't tried the recipe, you have to read the post, just to get it. If you have never read about Dee Dee and Hallie's baking experiences, that's another reason!

And let's not forget that my Dolly was a HUGE fan of the shortbread.* A little ill-mannered (all my dogs are :dontknow: ) but a BIG FAN!
Reference the BowWow we had at Julia's house where Mike brought his famous shortbread and whilst conversating (yes, this is a made up word) and holding in his clasped hand that delightful delicacy at a little above doglet level, Dolly seized the opportunity, jumped up and snatched that yummy cookie right out of his hand. Or was it YOUR hand, Julia? My old-timers is acting up and I forget how it really went down. :scratch:
:thinik:Let's recap. . .
Aunt DeeDee bakes :blowup: and Hallies evacuates to smoke free area. :bolt:
Auntie Merion turns on the oven and Wacky Zack heads for tornado shelter, the tub! :bath:
Any other puppers on DEFCON ONE status during holiday baking?:call:
This was just hilarious! And how were the pickles from 2005? Or are they still in the fridge? :violent4:

Alas, we have another freaked out puppy dawg when the oven goes on here. Poor Bonnie just shakes 'n' shudders when the oven goes on or if anything remotely smells like BURNT. My oven presently has some yuck baked on it and sure enough, when I made cookie bars today, she went into shake mode. I often wonder if she was exposed to fire before she came to us?
I knew it was just too good not to bring back to be read again and for the newcomers to enjoy. I laughed so hard when I read it. It was just what I needed tonight!
Alas and alack - 'twas my hand from which Dollikins stole the divine shortbread - and the only reason she was forgiven, is because she's a dachsie. I have a worse snatch-and-grab-it guy on my hands now - and that's Bastian! He got into some chicken jerky for dogs early this morning - ate the entire contents of the package, along with some human cookies - :dontknow: where he found those, and he has had the STINKIEST farts all day. I swear he could've cleared the room a dozen times. He did one about 5 minutes ago. looked at his butt, and then at me as if to say, "Mom - where'd that come from?" <gag me with a spoon>
that was and still is hysterical, and knowing Dee Dee she probably still has the gerkins............. was there not another time when Dee Dee attempted to cook fish?
Fortunately my pair sit and wait while I bake and then get a treat. My darling Angel Angus used to know the sound of the ice cream maker when it finnished and he used to wait for some.
