Ashton Can Dance

Ashton: Did I hear food sounds from the kitchen?

Ashton: It must be time for me to do the chicken dance!

Ashton: You don’t know how to do the chicken dance? It’s the dance I do behind my human’s back when I’m hoping she’s going to give me chicken. I can demonstrate for you. 

(If you’re on mobile, you can visit the video directly for Ashton’s chicken dance)

Do you have a chicken dance, too?

    We use our mouths more than our feet. You know, meowplease, meowplease, etc. Lennie goes simply crazy, but he’s a kitten so we have to have patience with him. We are slowly teaching him manners so you have to pick your battles.

    None of us dance, we just whine and complain loudly until our meals are served. Good job, Ashton. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer

    Ashton, you’re quite the dancer! We don’t dance here. Lexy just gives Mommy the sad eyes and I meow.

    Such a polite and darling little dance Ashton – in our house the dance is circling mom’s legs while she’s trying to get the chicken plate to the floor – MOL!
