Dundee & the Microwave

[bradl]

Kitchen remodels can get so complicated your brain melts after a while. One thing we love is the microwave drawer, but we overlooked one teeeensy detail: the dogs. Turns out the microwave drawer vents at the bottom, which is temptingly close to nose-level for dogs

 

Whenever I nuke something particularly appetizing, there's Dundee tasting the air.

The first time I saw him doing this I was thinking "WHAT is he doing?" until I realized it was just the vent.

Too funny!  (love the microwave drawer -  never thought of that idea!!!)

[LindaMC]

Adorable!  Love your kitchen and microwave draw!

[Lynn in TN]

How funny. I love the microwave and it looks like Dundee does too.

Looks like the microwave is low enough for your dogs to use it themselves.  Better hope they never get an appetite for microwaved rotten squirrel.

Dundee can show the others how to do more than just smell good smells. Fix something good for themselves. Those little paws - so like small hands.................

[Malcolm's Dad]

That is one drawer that will always stay clean.

Yummmm....at our house, though, it is still the dishwasher that has most of the goodies...though of course sometimes ice from the freezer (located at the bottom of our refrigerator) falls through its wire bin, and Oban has learned to dive into the freezer to get the ice.  

Such connoisseurs, our cairns!

Is Dundee better integrated into the family than he was at one time?  He's really cute in the video clip!

Dundee is adorable as long as the sound is turned down

 

Are you maybe be thinking of Granger (our "returnee")? He's much as he always was: 99% sweetheart and 1% troubled. He loves to work and obedience class has helped him a lot.

You're right!  I was thinking of Granger.  Sounds like the whole family is doing well.

Love it! Looks like an excellent spot for Dundee to make his own. 

 

Addie wanders into the kitchen with me a lot, but only out of confusion, "Mom, what are you doing in this room? Are you sure you even know how to work the stove? I've never seen it on."

 

Brad - any chance of recent photos of your whole current gang? I'm not sure I've ever seen a pic of Granger.

I'm heading to Bend for a dog show and obedience trial this weekend so might try to get a few blurry phone snaps
