She just clammed up...

We never turn down a freshly-dug clam. Chris stopped by after a clamming venture at Gearhart, and shared some of his bounty of Razor clams. They had been out of their sandy holes less than two hours - still squirting.

I think I've mentioned - NOTHING gets done around here without feline supervision.
We cut her some slack - she's never dealt with a clam before. Besides, she's pretty funny.

Chris would only part with 5 of his clams. We were grateful. VERY grateful that Birdie decided they were more fun to poke than to eat. She was fascinated with the wiggly necks - just avoiding getting squirted.

We do NOT share clams once they've reached the golden, crispy, pan fried stage.
