Tell me you didn't just clean your plate...

Posted by Rob (Velveetaville, United States) on 30 August 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

I'm on a diet so Max isn't getting his usual share. Don't get me wrong, he got some, just not as much as usual and he knows it. As long as I left this plate there he sat in front of me with that "how can you resist me" look.

I decided to focus on the plate because his focus was on the plate.

Thanks for indulging me and my dogs.

@Lost Valley: Thanks, even though Max is nose level with the table he, so far, hasn't stole any food... now, he's licked the table a few times but that doesn't count, right?

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

Awww! bless him.
My little doggy used to give me that look when ever I was eating, especially if we had chicken or cheese, then he would really put on the act of his little life, to try and get some :)

PS thank you for your very kind comments today :)

Poor Max. I like your composition and the narration that goes with it. As one on South Beach right now, I can relate to both how you feel, and how Max feels.
