If a chair is pulled out, Scooby is right up in the middle of the table! Its close to the kitchen window and he can see us come and go, so it is his preferred spot. When anyone visits I make sure the chairs are pulled up-I don't encourage him getting on the table but I guess we haven't been very stern in not letting him there. Some of my family members would think I have lost my mind if they saw him there! They already think I am partially there and call me the crazy dog lady!
