    I would when I'm finished eating but my mom freaks out and they're her plates.
    Owned by my baby and heart-dog Lolli.

    If each pet we love takes a part of our heart and replaces it with a part of theirs, my heart is a very strange collection of pieces, but I wouldn't have it any other way

    Nope!!

    And with Bruce's RB Cocker Spaniel, BJ, we didn't either. BUT Bruce would scrape plates into his dish out in the garage. That little habit did not carry over with the dogs we have now. I refuse! The only human food they get is carrots (daily), sometimes cheese or lunchmeat and peanut butter. I'm a mean mom!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    If its something they can have and they haven't been begging I will let them have it. They have to sit stay first and be invited to lick it. What's eww about a plate that's going to be washed anyway?

    Sure - why not??? As long as it's something that they are allowed to have, tho I don't make a habit of it. And why the eww's and no's??? You're going to wash the plate anyway - right??

    Oh, I should have mentioned........Zoee licks the plates when they are in the dishwasher. When they are still dirty, of course! I don't really "let" her, but sometimes she sneaks a lick or two.

    Every single (evening) meal !

    AND they are just immaculate, after we run them through the Dish Washer.

    Dogs know that you love them, whether you own them or not
    If you’re not watching FREE TV, you should be !

    I find that gross too. Perhaps because both my dogs have been known to eat poop, Sassy ate her own and Mikey likes BUNNY poop from the yard It's putrid. Maybe that was TMI, but yeah, that's my reasoning.

    Cindy, Mikey licks plates in the dishwasher too!
