Actually, Otis was big enough that he also preferred a place on the table, at least his front legs and chest. Tess sat quietly by waiting for fall out.
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.
We're dog-sitting our granddog Chance this weekend - he's a Golden Retriever. He's adorable; however, he hasn't been taught any manners yet, so this would be great for him! lol
They forgot about silverware for those of us who have taught our dogs to eat off forks & spoons
