Do you feed your dogs/pets from the table?
My dogs are so spoiled!
I think my dad started this BAD HABIT of feeding them from the table. What made me think of it is "Thanksgiving".....perfect day to be feeding them from the table, without me yelling at my dad to stop feeding them!:rolleyes:
Well, I try not to yell but to simply say; "Dad, that's REALLY a bad habit that you're teaching them!" What can I do?! I guess I've done it in the past as well.....shame on me & now I can't get them to stop begging, especially when we have guests over......agh, which doesn't happen often!:eek:
Oh Well! Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving anyways!!!!!
TiNa:)
What about "eating OFF the table" ???
:o
An "oldie" Dawg Tail... :D
We had Lady, a fluffy lil Pom/Mix Rescue, while I was in HS.
The Folks were hosting a Dinner Party for friends...
Mom was slaving in the kitchen with a BIG, fancy, roast or ham...
Lady was helping Mom - CONSTANTLY underfoot and *sniffing*
at the oven every time Mom opened it to tend the meat...
They "agreed" that Lady could STAY on her rug beside
the breakfast table...
Meat "done" - it was placed on the platter - ON the breakfast table -
to "rest" a few moments...
Mom, busy with side dishes, salads, and rolls -
was NOT *watching* her 4-legged Assistant -
Who hopped up on a breakfast table chair,
then hopped up ON :eek: the breakfast table...
and began to "sample" the Main Course! :rolleyes:
Everyone else was in the living room - when we heard the
familiar "*STOMP*" of Mom's foot on the floor followed by
by a rather loud "OH, LADY!!" ( :mad: )
Lady proceded to Beat Feet upstairs to seek refuge under my bed;
while Dad went to the kitchen to "calm" Mom...
It was decided to "surgicaly remove" the sampled area
and re-brown the meat a few more minutes to "hide the evidence".
Dad was instruced to "carve" from the Other End -
and NO ONE needed to know anything more! :p
I still don't know if Mom ever admitted to their friends what
had happened - But she was ready to KILL Dad -
His "banter" throughout dinner was along the lines of...
This roast sure SHRUNK...
I'm SURE it was bigger when it went IN the oven...
Looks like someone carved a hunk off here...
And there's a few potatoes missing...
And to Lady, (laying in HER spot beside the phone table)
- do YOU know anything??"
Mom kept trying to Change The Subject.
Sis and I kept *giggling*.
The Guests kept saying How Good dinner was!
And Lady didn't eat much of her Krunchies that night.
:D
