Understated beggar
I love the way Angel the Airedale
indicates that she would appreciate a taste when I am cooking: She tiptoes up on my left side and brushes her nose against my thigh as lightly as possible. Then she sits and waits. If nothing good drops ensues within a few minutes (rare), she sighs and wanders away. I just find the whole process so utterly charming that she almost always gets a tidbit. How do your foorfeets finagle a treat out of you? Laura and Angel in Oslo |

She still didn't move. The third time, the other two went out. MacKenzie stopped scratching at the door and patiently laid under the table to wait for her plate-licking. It was only after I finished eating and she got to lick all by herself that I realized what she had done. :} (And no, I don't get up and cater to my dogs' every whim normally. I purposely did this time because I knew there was *something* going on, and I wanted to find out what it was.)

How do your foorfeets finagle a treat out of you?
Our Airedale used to sit beside me and tap the top of my foot over and over again with his paw. I either gave him something and had to tell him to "stop tapping" or it went on for as long as I was standing there. Our BC cross lays on the other side of the kitchen and watches me cook, letting out occasional very loud sighs. |

Barney does the I'll wait by the stove cause I know you're going to drop
something.......LOL Brandy is a bit more discreet she lays off at a distance and stares & droos at you when you aren't looking but shys away when you glance at her. The only time she is ever pushy is with ice cream then she stand right at your feet drooling for it. They always get a little bit I save them the last bite of what ever it is I'm eating.
