    I can't say I don't. I do. Fries,turkey,chicken. But I very rarley do. I mean people say it's bad for the animal and I don't want her to be put in any danger. What I really HATE is when family/friends come over and give her table scraps because she is so "cute". Sassy is adorable. But that's no reason to giver her anything.

    Yes!They love green beans and of course meat.They dont get the 'bad' stuff,like onions,raisons,etc.The eat the leftover rice and potatoes too . They DONT get fed at the table though.They dont beg so we dont want that to start.We've never had a problem with table scraps.

    rarely, but sometimes. Always when we are done eating.

    Sometimes. Jenny sometimes gets raw sweet potato, turnip, celery, etc.
    Saturday night she gets a bit of meat or gravy on her food, just enough for flavor, though. We never feed her from the table though.

    umm..no...okay, yeh, I give my sweetie table scraps. She rarely gets them, and if she happens to beg for them, she does not get any. She usually has to sit, or sit pretty. I only give her little pieces of chicken, turkey, or raw, tiny pieces of fat off of steaks. I don't want her getting sick, or overwieght (that would be really bad for her leg).

    Yes, Camen always get a piece of meat and rice and potato, he doesn't like raw vegtables. Got to be cooked..hehehehe
    But, We don't feed at the table. Only after we eat i put it in his bowl and I get him to sit and stay until say "eat"

  13. Dang it.. i voted for the wrong one. i ment 'sometimes' as it does depend on what it is.

    popcorn i have no issues sharing with him. but other stuff im very strick with.
    and sometimes ill give him some of the crust off a sandwhich. and sometimes some types of candy. like Skittles. he loves those things. but i only give him 1 or 2 and thats it. and thats all the table scraps hes ever had.

    I don't give them tablescraps very much. Sometimes if Georgia follows me downstairs and I can't finish my sandwich or something, I give it to her, but rarely.

    Not often, and never from the table. Instead of rinsing everything off my plate though, sometimes I'll let Tango lick it clean and then rinse it...but there's usually barely anything on it anyway. I don't give Winston scraps often at all because he drools and I find that absolutely disgusting. My parents give him stuff occasionally though.
