Who's doing dishes at 5 in the morning?

The first night went great. Our new member of the family ended up lumbering up the steps and sprawling out at the foot of our bed for the night. Next thing I here from a deep sleep is the rustling around of pots and pans in the kitchen. I felt the bed to see why Suzy would be up baking or doing dishes this early but she was still sleeping. Could Mary have gotten up and decided to make pancakes this early?

I suddenly remembered we had someone new in the house and I jumped up and ran down to the kitchen to find our lanky pooch standing on her hine legs with her front paws on either side of the sink and her head down in the sink buried in a pot with some leftover rice in it. She was moving the pot and a couple of bowls around to lick them all up clean. Looks like the dishes are done.

Vinni came down right about the same time also to see what all the noise was about.
