| I voted 'no' but have to admit that I let Walker occasionally lick my spoon after eating yogurt. Mostly I don't think they should have any of the spices we like to put in our food. And even though I love my dogs to death, I also don't like them right in my face when I'm eating dinner. It's a hard habit to break once you've started it. But, I guess, that's everybody's personal preference and I certainly wouldn't allow an 'outsider' to tell me I couldn't feed my dogs any way I d%#$# well please

| My dogs know better then to eat from my plate. If anything happens to fall out and onto the table they will eat it, but they know not to touch any plates. |

| The boys have their own bowls for food and water. They will quietly sit under the table while we eat (the few times we have together) and if the food is safe, unspiced, chicken or fish, they will get a few pieces away from the table. If anything falls onto the floor, it's fair game, but we are working on not grabbing stuff off the floor since it carries outdoors on our walks and Zeke can be such a "garbage gut" at times.

| Never feed my dogs people food, and I'm not having something lick food off my plate that lick their butts and their private parts. Sorry, but, to me, that's kind of unsanitary |

| I would've been just as shocked as your guest, too. There are a lot of things my dogs are allowed to do- but, eating off my plate isn't one of them. Especially since I have two big dogs that spend a lot of time indoors. Goodness- if they learned they could snag some food off my plate... It would be gone within minutes. Not to mention the sheer horror that would be on my face if I were eating a chocolate cake and one of the dogs snagged it while my head was turned. It teaches bad manners. I don't want my dogs begging anyone- guest or someone that lives here- at the dinner table. So, when they do, they're reprimanded. I feel that letting them eat off my plate would just contradict that. I cook for my dogs- that I do. But, they have their own meals at their own time. They know better than to beg me for my food- and, in return, I don't eat theirs. Seems fair enough to me. Though, I must admit, I have shared spoons and forks with Sandy. But, she knows better than to actually lick the spoon or fork. She grabs the food and pulls it off without ever actually touching the silverware. And, I only do that in my room. She's learned that that's the only place she gets tablescraps. And, even then, she rarely gets them. Last edited by SandysDaddy; 01-24-2009 at 12:39 PM. |

| I will like 2 thank everyone who has replied to this thread that I posted. And to all who was honest about the question that I asked. Like I said when I started this thread, "To eaches own". May everyone continue to enjoy their furbabies like no other, and keep doing what you are doing with them. Because you will not find the same household, everyone home is different indeed with different rules and belief's. So may all of yorkietalk memeber's, have a wonderful weekend, good night to everyone on yorkietalk.

I have to agree.. its gross, my babies are spoiled rotten too but that is one thing that is not allowed in my house. It leads to terrible manners and begging.
