Outside BBQ - Grilling At Nose Level.......

My son has a small charcoal grill and has left it at our house, so this past weekend my husband wanted to grill some pork chops on the little grill. Sounded like a good plan......

Until Dora woke up from her nap and thought all her dreams had finally come true. She was quick to agree that this was the best plan she had seen all weekend long. She was quick to alert Sophie and Bailey too....I mean, it is not every day that you can actually see the food cooking at eye level.....poor thing.

They sniffed.....and sniffed.....and sniffed......thinking for sure it must be a mistake and could not wait for my husband to walk back inside. Once he walks inside....that food is fair game!! The quickest one here gets the prize!

Dora was sneaking around that little grill just looking for a cool spot....she is the food stealer of all the bunch....she is smart too.....but she could not or would not get past the heat from the charcoal....thank goodness.

Finally, she looked at my husband as it to ask..."What is up with this? I see the food....I smell the food....but I darn well can not get to the food....This is not how this should have worked out."

Finally, she sees that the pork chops are coming off the grill and on to a plate! Yep, she knows those plates well...very easy to steal bites off of those plates if someone leaves them laying around.

We always use the big grill, and the dogs stand there and sniff the air just hoping for a bite....this was more like torture for them.....

Poor Dora just looked in disbelief that her "would be" supper was right there in front of her nose, cooking and smelling divine.....and just like that it was over.....no bites were to be had! I honestly don't think they appreciated us cooking at their nose level this meal.....sorta felt sorry for them. Don't worry, they did get a small bite.....just was not the whole pork chop they were hoping for!
