I won't be able to do this justice and we should really have had the video camera running, but then again you never do at 7.45 in the morning do you?
Helen had got up first and the girls had, of course, heard her.
As is their wont, they waited for her to appear and then did their usual spring-loaded dance in the crate, up on their hind legs, leaping for attention.
This in itself is quite funny, but Rose added a twist to it today.
As the pair of them were jumping in unison, she clearly recognised the possibility that Lily might get some of the fuss from Auntie Helen. Not wishing to share Helen, she broke off her leaping routine for a split second to apply a neat left hook to her sister, knocking her off balance and enabling her as the Jumping Queen to achieve her objective of grabbing Helen's full and undivided attention.
According to Helen, the narrative to accompany all of those frenetic activity would have gone...
..."Pick ME, Pick ME, not HER, just ME"

Great image. Forget the mashed potato, the pony, the funky chicken, the resurrection shuffle and please try to forget the Funky Gibbon...cos there's a new dance... that is going around....Do the "Spring Loader"....Woolly Bully....woolly bully. Woolly bully... woolly bully...
