Hello! I'm glad that I've an excuse for a fun kitchen day story! Enjoy
I woke up when my Daddy shifted and got up. I didn't care I was woken up early today. In fact I was happy. Today was the second month that Daddy brought me home. He promised me something special when he had his day off, and that day is today!
I felt Daddy pick me up and bring me to the countertop. He asked me if I wanted to help him make a cake.
"Okay!" I told my Daddy. I've never had a cake before though. I didn't even know how to bake one. But if my Daddy wanted my help, he would get it!
He told me everything to get from the fridge while he got some of the dishes out. I grabbed the milk cart with my teeth and brought it to the floor in front of the counter top. Daddy brought it up to the counter top since I couldn't make it with it in my mouth. The eggs were next. He said we needed 2. I grabbed the first one in my mouth carefully and tried my best to make the jump onto the counter. My legs slipped out from under me and made me hit the edge instead of landing on it. I dropped the egg and it hit the floor, breaking it.
"Oops. I'm sorry daddy" I said to him.
"It's okay Dashie" He told me handing me a cloth to clean up the small mess on the floor.
I felt a little sad realizing that I screwed up already, but I used my hooves to move the cloth over the mess. Once it was cleaned I grabbed two more of the eggs and managed to get the jump up on the counter, placing them next to the milk. After several more trips back to the fridge I had gotten everything he asked me to get. I noticed the water was running now. I just realized that I'm thirsty. I placed my snout under the flowing water on to retract it immediately due to the scalding heat. I brushed my nose over with my hooves several times before daddy came and picked me up. I see him grab an ice cube and watch him place it over my nose. He apologized to me about turning it on and not telling me. I couldn't think of many words to say so I kept quiet after I said it was ok. I wonder if we could work on my speech after this.
The time dragged on faster when I mixed the batter and placed it in the oven, being careful not to burn myself on the heating up metal. Daddy told me that I had to keep it in there for a couple of hours. I complained. I don't really like waiting for things. Daddy says I'm impatient. I asked him if we could go outside. Unfortunately for me it turns out that someone new came to live nearby. Normally it wouldn't matter but a portion of the fence in the yard had broken.
That means I've got to stay inside a lot more now. I sighed. But I cheered up when Daddy asked me if I wanted to work on speech. That made the day go by faster. I also learned a lot of new words…even though I can't really pronounce some of them right. I went into the kitchen and checked the white item that showed how much time was left.
"5 minutes!" I say to myself happily. Sitting down and not moving until I hear the timer ring.
I let Daddy pick me up and place me on the counter. I watched intently as he placed the cake on the counter. I've seen cakes only once before on the cooking channel. Only it looked decorative. With pink swirls and blue icing. That's what was missing! Did we have any icing? I looked at the cake when it came out. It was slightly burnt on one edge. And it probably wasn't in long enough, but I'm glad I helped Daddy make it.
I saw Daddy reach into the cabinet and pull out a small canister of icing. I waited a couple more minutes and let him apply it to the cake, my mouth watering over large treat. I opened the drawer that was over the edge and pulled out a knife carefully. I use it to cut off two pieces for Daddy and me.
Once we settle down at the table I take my first bite of the cake. It was one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted in my life. And I'm glad that I was able to share this with my Daddy. I just wish everyday would be like this. So he wouldn't have to go to work tomorrow. At least I've got this amount of time with him.
"Thank you Daddy" I tell him after putting our plates in the sink.
He thanked me for my help afterwards. I was happy to be put in my chair an hour later for my bedtime with my blanket. I was tired. I wished I spent some time outside though.
This is easily my worst chapter. Sorry. But I'm kind of going through writers block. I'm only uploading this to get it out of the way. However, if you like it than I guess it wasn't a mistake. Hope you enjoyed!
