Please...

...share?

Generally, our faithful hound is not in the dining room at meals time as he likes us to share. If we don't he will help himself to anything near the edge of the tablethat he can reach from all four feet on the floor...

However, I was late home this evening so ate alone at the table and he was prowling about again...he was watching me pitifully hoping to get a morsel from my plate...he was out of luck...it had been a long day and I was starving apart from the fact that I wasn't going to set a precedent.
