Whisper and Shadow were trained not to be so naughty. They will only sniff at my food if I push it towards them..Callie, however, has been known to walk up to my plate (like she owns the place) and snatch something off it. We had chicken wings a few days back and my husband left the plate on the table while he went to the restroom...yep you guessed it. She made off with one and only left the bone.
