Dear Terry, Yesterday, Dad declared it was Cookie Day! Me & Leroy like cookies! Dad said he was going to make sugar cookies from scratch. Me & Leroy just looked at each other as Dad got out the Cookie Book. Then Dad got out the big mixer. Ut oh. I told Leroy this doesn't always go well when Dad has the mixer. Petey sat in the window watching. He usually helps Mom cook stuff but Dad is a little wild in the kitchen. We all watched and waited. Butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla. Whirrrrrrr the mixer went round and round. So far so good!! Dad was pleased. Dad announced it was time for the flour! I told Leroy, this might get exciting. We watched. In went the flour, only Dad made the mixer go too fast! Whizzzzzzzz!!!! Petey ran, and I showed Leroy how to catch butter and sugar pieces in the air! Oh my gosh we had so much fun!! Dad panicked and turned off the mixer. We looked around. Boy, I tell you, butter and flour can really fly!! Dad looked so confused. We helped by cleaning up the floor for him. Petey started licking butter off the cabinets to get them clean. We had the place looking better in no time! Leroy and Dad went outside after all the excitement to get calmed down. Me and Petey were still cleaning up spots we missed when Mom came home from work!

Love & Woofs, FredDog
