I have to confess to my lot being trained not too.... If were having lunch we always put some of the meat aside for them in the kitchen....  :sneaky:

My Gigga is a total mare and will just claw the food off your plate.... He even pinches the dogs Chappie dry!  :shocked:

I suppose Id better own up ..... :evillaugh:

I have a lidded mug, which I use if I take milk to drink before I go to sleep. 

The idea was to stop Mr T or Chloe from drinking the milk   :sneaky:

So much for that !!

Mr T has caught on that there is milk in the mug, and that he can push the lid off.

He meows madly whenever I use the mug (Heaven help me if I use it for fruit tea, which he hates!!  :evillaugh:)

Now, I have to take the mug (with milk in it) each night into the bedroom, and put it on the bed. 

Mr T then carefully removes the lid with his paws and drinks down as far as he can ....

And ....  :shy:  I drink the rest!!  :rofl:

No, but they share their lunch with my carpet!  ;D

Oh yes and normally when Im eating.

If Im having some meat or fish I will usually save them some and put it in their dishes but no if Im out I dont bring any home for them. That said Im usually only out for lunch when my parents take me which means theres a border collie in the car who feels she should have the left overs.
When my flat was being done up my parents used to come over and bring sandwiches as I had no kitchen. Dad found out that Mogs really likes prawns and I dont think Ive ever had so many prawnless prawn sandwiches in my life  :evillaugh:

I don't share lunch with them when I'm out of the house, but I do share all my meals I eat at home with them.  If I'm having meat, I always leave a bit on the plate for them (even though they will have had some of it raw before cooking).  Jaffa always licks out my cereal bowl and I wouldn't dream of beating up eggs for scrambled egg or something like that, and not letting them lick out the bowl.

If its suitable they have their share - and sometimes even if its not so suitable ....  :shy:

Mr T showed a great interest in a piece of cherry madeira cake.  I was rather amused when he ate a small piece, complete with the cherry  :evillaugh:

I was less amused when it came to litter tray time .....   :sick:  PHEW!!!!

Chloe, who looks so innocent, will help herself!!

We were foolish trusting enough to leve a ham salad on the kitchen table. 

When we sat down to eat it  - NO HAM!!

A certain someone had left a clue as to who had "dunnit" in that she was licking her lips and there was a little piece of ginger/tabby fluff on top of my tomato  :rofl:

She will do the same if someone comes to the door while we are eating, and if we "abandon" the food temporarily.

Ever found pawprints in your mashed potato ?  :rofl:

Curiously, Mr T has never done this - Or never been caught  :shify:

He does like to have the foam of the top of a glass of Guinness, though!!!  :shocked: :rofl:

I don't tend to save my lunch when I'm not at home, but I've been known to buy things in starbucks just to get a paper bag as Milo adores starbucks bags.

However whatever we eat at home the boys get some if they want it.

not often lunch unless there's something they like leftover from sandwich filling.  Most days they get what we have for tea.  Byron always hovers round when it's chicken because that's her favourite food.

Not lunch no but all 6 eat most of my chicken every evening.  It's their expected evening snack now.  I do insist that they wait till I've finished eating coz I have to break it up in small pieces coz Freddie has very few teeth.

It's never occurred to me to bring my lunch home  :-: but always bring home puddy bag on rare occasions that we eat out.

Alice looks at me with Doe eyes regardless of what I have. She always gets a good amount of any meat. Also Willow had her share of honey roast pork before I ate tonight (with her benazecare hidden in  :shify: ) Alice always waits though - I have to convince her it's OK  :Luv2:

If I have something Memphis likes then yup I bring him home a doggie bag. I once shared a prawn and pea risotto with him. He sat on the table hovering over my plate. I would take a prawn break it up into tiny pieces then feed him as I ate. I ended up with about 3 prawns for myself as he ate the rest. He was such a good little boy at waiting  :Luv2:

My doggie nearly always gets a doggie bag if I eat out .. Usually a few chips and a bit of burger or sausage. My mum always saves some steak for her too. I don't eat steak but Molly loves it ... she has her nanny very well trained  :evillaugh:


 :hug: for Friday

I took a tin of 100% chicken breast in white sauce and a potato to put in the microwave at work today but I only had half a tin cos I felt guilty not giving any to Bonnie.

Yes I took it home and gave it to her as soon as I got in.  She loves the chicken and really laps up the sauce.  :Luv2:

I'll be treating her on Friday too cos I will need lots of cuddles cos it's 2 years since Smudge went missing and as you all know I found him dead 7 months later.  Why can we never get the horrid dates out of our heads?  :'(

Having the day off work on Friday so I'll be treating her all day and she will certainly be loving me back.  :Luv2: :hug:
