| Molly dancing the Mexican Hat Dance. |
Yesterday was CINCO de MAYO and the whole family decided to celebrate our Mexican heritage in small ways. I am not at all Mexican but I went along with the rest of the family because they celebrated Chinese New Year in honor of my, Mommy #1, Cousin E and Lil' One's heritages. We all had busy busy weekends so we aren't talking parties of EPIC proportions. But we did little things like jump around like wormy beans when it was time for a meal. Oh wait!!! I do that EVERY day, hehheh.
Mostly we are talking about EATING foods that reflect my Auntie's and Mommy #2's Mexican roots. Those roots are very very deep as their family goes WAY back to the days when California was Alta California and NOT part of the US.
Mommy spent ALL DAY prepping and cooking for dinner NOT OF WHICH I COULD EAT. She made frijoles which are beans that cooked all day. I snuck one that fell on the floor. Mommy said it made me gassy but frankly, I didn't notice anything different. She also made arroz mexicano. Because of something called a D-I-E-T, she then veered away from Mexico and made a famous southwestern meal called fajitas. Those are a buncha veggies that she grilled and then ate in a tortilla. Smelled SOOOOOO good!
I got my usual kibble but also a special topper - UNmarinated veggies like zucchini and squash. Yum
Molly then decided to be a little SHOW-OFF and led us all in a rousing round of the Mexican Hat Dance. She thinks she is such a smarty because she can balance on two PAWS longer than I can.
I hope all of you enjoyed Cinco de Mayo. Participating in different cultural activities is a good way to understand someone else's culture.

Don't worry about Molly showing off. Everyone knows that dogs are NOT meant to be on two paws. That's why we have FOUR of them!

Hola, Noodles! Glad you got to get some fresh veggies for Cinco de Mayo. Molly is such a little SHOW OFF! j/k I think it's actually pretty cute. I'm sure you'll get it down one of these days, Noodles - I mean think of all the dang treats and veggie kibble toppers you could get if you could do the hat dance! Keep on practicing - I know you can do it!
-Love,
Sid.
