Riley is not allowed to beg…period. She doesn’t whine or cry for food but she does like to watch for any crumbs you drop… Apparently she learned that from her aunt, Chloe:

Hahahaha Great Photo!!! I eat at the coffee table ALOT so my duo will beg every once in awhile if its something they really love. Its hard eating at the coffee table and its on their level but amazingly they do pretty good as long as my visitors follow my rules!!
Our pooches are similar, but they do watch intently. If we leave food on the coffeetable, Miss M will get super close to it…she won't eat it, but just gets within centimeters and stares.
