Hey, Mom are those meat chew toys? Can I have one? Mom, Mom…Pleeeaaaassssee?

Finally all that “Best Friend” stuff and tail waging is about to pay off!
If you are looking for a taste-tester for those kabobs, I’m the dog for the job!
Get in my belly!
Yada Yada Yada, enough with the talk bring on the chow.
Hey, that’s Stephen Hawkings dog, he is impersonating a black hole and trying to pull anything nearby in-Kebabs stand in for light..nothing escapes the hole.
Say Shiksa’s shiska three times fast. Come on – I dare you!
I’m not really bored, it’s just all part of the master plan…those kebabs WILL be mine!
Visions of Shiksa-bobs dance in my head.
Open your mouth, and close your eyes, you will get a Shiksa surprise!
Stretching is ALWAYS necessary before exerting oneself!
Ho hum…shis kabobs again! I was really hoping for lobster.
Yawn, act uninterested, then launch.
Wider, must open wider.
Very clever putting meat on spikes… knowing I don’t have hands.
“Awe…just for me? You shouldn’t have, but boy, thanks a lot!”
“Awe…just for me? Oh boy, you shouldn’t have, but thanks a lot!”
If they only knew, I licked them all already
“PHEW! I was afraid we were grillin’ Hot Dogs!!”
If its pork, I won’t touch them.
If I was a German Shepperd I would only have to wait three hours until I could have dairy.
Can I fetch those sticks? Pleeeaaase!!!!!
I SWEAR I heard the doorbell. I’m a dog… Do you doubt me? I watch them……
“please drop, please drop, please drop!”
I hate to eat and run, so I think I will run and eat!
What you gotta bone in your leg? You want I should shelp this over to you? if you don’t hurry you will miss the knishes. Oy, it’s a dog eat lamb life around here.
“Dogs dont know its kosher!”

“Hmmmmmm they left perfectly great looking shiksa kabobs out here just for me awwwwww how thoughtful my master is.”

Open mouth. Say “ahhhhhhhh.” Don’t you want to use one of the yummy looking tongue depressors on me? Pleeeeeze.

“The supreme cuteness that is me – deserves the supreme deliciousness that is BBQ”
“The skewer will fit perfectly…just stick one it in!”
Lets see if I can stretch my mouth open wide enough to fit them all in before she turns back around
“OK. I’ll pretend to be bored and not at all interested – then when nobody is looking, I’ll just grab one and run!! First, the yawn . . . disinterested enough for you? “
“Ok Mom, I’ve got a great idea…let’s call these shiksa-bobs!!”
This is my silent alien scream to levitate the food into my mouth!
