I found out that this saying by Dr. Seuss is so true! Mommy likes to throw some of the food that she cuts up in the kitchen to me and Lucy. Sometimes it is veggies, sometimes fruit, sometimes meat *drool*. Anyhoo, I used to throw my head up to catch mine, but I would flinch and close my eyes. I always missed it when I did that. I learned that I have a much better chance of catching my food if I can just keep my eyes open. I think that has come with getting braver. 
But sometimes you just have to shut your eyes and hope you don’t miss any food.
Happy Dr. Seuss Day, everyone!

It’s kinda exciting trying to catch the flying food. Lucy almost never misses, so I’m working on a plan…. mommy can link up, she just can’t show it on our blog.

It’s hard to catch food if you can’t see it. I’m sure you’ll figure out what is the right way.
Happy Dr. Seuss Day. ♥

That’s a lot to think about, Mr. Sweet William the Scott. I think Lucy would get the food if I stopped to think about all that first! he, he. Xena

Think left and think right and think low and think high the food coming at you and you can catch it if you try.

Congratulations! Catching food is a great skill, X. I have never mastered it. But I enjoy eating floor-food after it hits the deck…
Love and licks,

We like that quote and think it’s great advice. Our mom lets us have treats when she is working in the kitchen too.

Ooh, I didn’t think about it that way, Miss Sandra. And when you picture me in your head, be sure to see my eyes scrinched real tight shut! (And sometimes the food would taunt me by bouncing off my face.) XOX Xena
