Red and Rover by Brian Basset for March 08, 2022

I bet that Red’s parents will not allow this. He made a bet that he could not guarantee. He did not have the authority to allow Rover to sit at the table.

Well Rover you look very pleased with yourself.

Congrats on your win, Rover. You rock!

Well, no more sneaking food under the table.

Hmmm, only in France would that go over. Hey, still a victory, at least Rover got what we call a " seat @ the table"!

Oh my! I laughed so out loud! Gooood boy!

Rover, did you wash your paws before supper?

True to his word

Love this one so much.

haha funny. What family all eat at the table together

When my kids were still at home, we ate dinner together. There was a rule no snacking before dinner also.

Love the expression on Mom’s face!

The “family unit” fell apart when shopping malls opened and credit cards became vogue.

My family ate dinner together every night, and my kid’s family do the same. Tradition, teaching, bonding

Red took the bet for Rover’s sake rather than his own.

Later during the dinner: (Red to Rover) “You going to eat that?”

I had a cat that would sit in her own seat and politely wait for any offerings. She was also Jewish. I miss that cat.

When I’d get invited to dinner at friends, my late springer spaniel, Samantha, would get to attend too. She’d quietly sit under the dinner table and wait for handouts. Her springer predecessor, Shelby, did the same. Good gurls.

Like there was any chance you’d win, Red! ;D
