| Begging: Does your dog beg like mines? I can't open a pack of anything without him thinking it's a treat. I can't sit and put anything in my mouth without Kodak sitting there staring. I can't set a plate down without him waiting to see if it's for him. I can't sit a cup down on the floor (where I'm working-thinking he's sleep) without him creeping up sticking his head all the way in the cup. I can't bring Chinese food in the house without him sniffing in the air for some. I can't lift my finger to my mouth without him looking like "where's mines" I shore as heck can't bring McDonald's in the house without him thinking the fries are for him. I have now learned to tune him out and use tunnel vision and stare straight ahead while I am eating. He looks so sad when I don't give him any and I ignore him, he just doesn't get it. He can't have everything I eat, but he makes me feel so bad. LOL Anyone else with a begging little one?

| Yep, I confess...my2boyz are little beggars. However, I will say that I didn't do it! My husband started sharing little pieces of his food with them, against my wishes of course, so now they will beg from him but they don't bother me because I've never fed them from the table. I finally got my husband to quit by telling him I could do one of 2 things at mealtime...lock the boys in another room or lock him in another room...the sharing has stopped. |

| I'm LOL at lock HIM in another room. I am guilty of throwing him a piece of meat in the past. My daughter and my son have spoiled him by giving him little pieces of meat, but now I regret it!

| Awww, I know how hard it is to not share My Starr was spoiled rotten (we didn't know any better then) and would jump and yip at the table while we ate, until she got a bite or three I miss her so much! Anyway, with these girls, there will be absolutely no begging because they'll never be fed from the table. I did give Luna a tiny piece of turkey breast on Thanksgiving day (from deep inside the breast, where there wouldn't be any seasonings). BUT, I did not give it to her at the table. She got it in her bowl, after we were finished eating. Look at it this way. Our babies will live much much longer if they don't have our food. Too much salt, fat, and spices will shorten their little lives Do a search here for pancreatitis, it's not pretty.

| Luna's mom I agree, I want mines to live long as his little life will allow him to. I'm not contributing to no bad health, and he looks like I shatter his world when I say no. I'm cracking up lol at My2boys for bad husband, bad husband! Ha!

| Maizee is TERRIBLE about begging. It all started when my 10 year old twin cousins slipped her an ENTIRE piece of pizza and were trying to teach her how to beg. WHY?! I was so mad. Now she won't quit. I admit that I have on occasion given her some "people food" but nothing bad and not even that much I swear! It's so hard to say no. I'm gonna suck at having children. |

| Oh boy does Bruce beg, and I have a feeling that when he begs as he does at my parents house they may sneak him a few bits of whatever they have, and partially leading to his recent bout of irritable bowel syndrome...I only wish that it would somehow effect the begging, like maybe he would realize it is not good for him, but the begging is already back in full force...It really baffles me because rarely if ever is it successful! These little guys can be persistant though!

| Jazzie is the Queen of the Beggin' Eyes! If that doesn't work then she turns into the Royal Court Jester! I taught her to do the dishes after she gets what she was beggin' for! See!
