No! Go Lay Down!

I, myself, have a couple different pet peeves. One of the worst ones is that I cannot stand to have a dog beg for food while I’m eating.
When I was at a friends house a few years ago, she had a dog named Mickey. He was a Chihuahua-Jack Russell Terrier mix, and they had a bad habit of feeding him from their plates. I was there once for dinner and we were eating on their couch. Mickey came up to me, put his paws on my knees, sniffed the food on my lap and looked up at me, eyes wide and ears perked way up. I could not eat with him there and they had to remove him from the room before I could. I have not tolerated begging from a dog in any way since then.
