Dogs around dinnertime (cats too, but dogs…) are either the epitome of best behavior, or are in dire need of better education. Holly falls into the former. When we sit for dinner she joins us, at a distance, quietly lying on the floor. She wants us to know that she is definitely NOT begging, but if it so happens that we need our plates cleaned before we put them in the dishwasher, well, she’s happy to do us the favor. Please Lindsay, don’t beg me to clean your plate. It’s not a good look.
