 Sneaky
My yorkie will do the same thing. I'm a single father so on nights I don't have my kids I will always fix my supper and eat in my recliner. He likes to jump up and sniff around (acting like he's not going to bother my plate) but getting oh so closer every time. I make him get down off of me by using the "off" command. He then gets on the floor at my feet and will usually lay there until I'm finished eating. Then I'm usually too full and lazy to take my plate to the sink to wash so he wants back in my lap so he comes back up and the temptation to ease his way to the plate is still there. It's so cute and funny. So far he hasn't licked the plate but he sure wants to. I tell him to lay down and he will lay down on my arm that doesn't hold the empty plate.
Now on occasion, I have been known to fall asleep in this position. My yorkie knows when I fall asleep and he's a sneak, at this point he will steal anything I have either in my other hand, or laid on the end table next to me (cookies etc...) He really cracks me up because he's so sneaky about it! |
