The '2 foot' rule at our house
 

We have a sectional in our living room and our DR table backs up to it so Maddie Jo likes to sit on the back of the couch with her 2 front feet on the edge of the table and watch me cook. She will stretch out as far as she can to check something out that I set on the table but she will only put her 2 front feet on the table...one back foot remains on the couch and the other one is airborn! So, technically, that's only 2 feet, right?? If she gets carried away and forgets the rule all we have to say is '2 feet Maddie Jo' and she removes the offending foot (feet)...she's so funny!

Well, evidently, Miss Moo doesn't pay attention like her sister does...she truly thinks being cute will get you everywhere you need to go in life :rolleyes:

So, I'm standing at the stove making my omelet and I turn around to see...Miss Moo totally comfortable and all stretched out on my DR table watching me cook :eek:

Maddie Jo is on the back of the couch, where she belongs, being a good girl :littleang

I remind Miss Moo of the 2 foot rule and she steps onto the back of the couch where she should have been all along.

Man...she needs to pay attention once in a while!

(Disclaimer: please don't be grossed out by my girls stepping on my table...it's for decoration only...we never sit there to eat :) )

LOL!! I'm not grossed out:D I totally understand,I have threatened to take my DR table out, we never use it and it takes up so much space:rolleyes::p It sounds like you have two smart little characters:)

Haha! I'm glad you weren't grossed out...I know some people would be but, honestly...I only have a table there because you're 'supposed' to have one in the house, right??!! It only catches purses and grocery bags and the only living being that actually sits there is my plant! Well, and Miss Moo ;)

HA HA...mine is a catch all too....I can never seem to keep it free of clutter. DH drops everything he has in his hands on it. I may turn my DR into a small den for me;):p Kids are no longer at home and it is just the two of us and the furbutts. We usually eat on the sofa watching the evening news.;)

That sounds like our house...we eat in the living room...no kids to set a good example for! Hubby has the coffee table that lifts up so it makes it nice to eat on it or to use the laptop there. We have an open concept home so you see the living room, eating area and kitchen as one big room so I have to keep everything put up and cleaned off...one little thing out of place makes it look like I need to clean 3 rooms instead of just one! lol!

I don't get that about dh's. As soon as he comes home, everything in his hands goes on the dining room table!! I kid around w him and hum the "Sanford and Son" tv show theme song!:D

Just in case you did not see that show, they owned a junk yard.

Oh, and we eat our eve meal in the LR watching tv too!

LOL, not grossed out here either. I once layed out cookies to cool across my table, left the room and came back to foot prints through the cookies. :eek: If we leave a chair out far enough, my Mylee will be on the table the exact moment you turn your back! My dogs also lick dishes out of the dishwasher. I tell them no (but only when DH is there because he doesn't like it). I rinse my dishes before they go in there so they are only getting wattered down crumbs, and they get washed with very hot water when they get washed for real.....Oh well, I don't have any company over ever for entertaining. We all share our own germs......:cool::cool:

Miss Moo & Maddie Jo sound so cute! I love their names. I can totally see them in the act. I am LOL thinking about one time my sisters dog jumped into a chair, well Princess wanted to copy so she tried to jump on this tall folding table.:rolleyes: She failed but it was too funny.

All Princess jumps on at home is the coffee table as when we moved a year ago I refused to get a table! We don't eat on it and it collects everything, plus now Princess has more room to play fetch.;)

That's so cute. I love how they know the 2 foot rule. Not grossed out about DR table. Mine is to fill the space in there also.
