We always eat dinner together at the dinning room table.
Funny story...
When we first got our dog and sat down to dinner, he would go and lay on the kitchen floor or in the living room on the couch. Oh how lucky we are we said, how wonderful it is that he's trained!
Fast forward to me sitting down on the couch with a frozen fruit pop; that dog was in my face so fast he almost got the pop from me before I could react! Seems the previous owners never sat at the table to eat, so he hadn't known what was going on! We still laugh at the expression on my face.
