Atta boy, Roscoe. You showed, Opal you’re smarter than she thought.

Opal is about 300 years old and Roscoe finally hit that nerve? Good for you Roscoe

touché, Rocsoe

Whoo hoo Roscoe !

I’ve seen this somewhere before…

Our dog never did this, but we never, ever fed her from the table.

I get the slightest little whine at dinner time if I am late more than ten minutes. But at play time, growls, snarls and barks accompanied with tail wags. Gets me off my chair for exercise.

I have cat that begs at dinnertime. He’s 22lbs and gives a hilarious little squeak if I ignore him. It’s a lot better than the first time he begged, by standing on his hind legs and sinking both sets of front claws into my leg. O.o

Every problem an a solution.

Looks like “Doggone Funny!” (Sunday Marmaduke) material.

Where there’s a whine there’s a way!

“This is my whining spot.”

Technicalities are everything.

Roscoe appears to be successful in begging judging by his portly size. Diet time!

LOOPHOLE!

I had a Chihuahua that did just that with her bed!

Doesn’t Earl do this too? (sans the bed)

“Roscoe, go to the basement” “Earl, go shut (lock?) the basement door.”

Roscoe knows that there’s nothing better with dinner than a fine whine!

Roscoe, given how things are shaping up in panel 4, you outta ease up on the whining and dining!

Our dogs were all silent beggars. But the faces they made were irresistible. They always got the leftovers.

stupid smart dog.

Good boy.

Opal really doesn’t like dogs, does she.

LOL! Might as well be comfy while begging.

Crazy dog

Yup, That’s my Polly right there. I have to find that video camera he has stashed at my house.

we had a pair of beagles, if we were 10 minutes late with their dinner, the neighbors heard the racket!!

Reminds me of the dogs who will bring you their food bowl when it’s dinnertime. :)

Who’s a good bed?!

From the looks of Roscoe, the begging seems to work quite well.

I,m on the dog diet I give half my dinner to the dog.

Our little baby is getting old. I figure that mow she is a little over 100 [dog] years old and I have decided that she can gt away with anything

never underestimate a dog’s ability to beg

Hey, Roscoe did what he was told. He found a loophole in the command and exploited it.

There’s a good boy. Precisely what I would have done at his age.

Roscoe is looking a bit heavy in the fourth panel. Time for him to go on a doggie diet.

Smart Dog.

Is there a smarter dog than Roscoe?

Never had a problem with my dogs. I always feed them before I eat and never feed them from the table.

Smart dog……

Yup, my three large fur babies (two labradoodles and one creme golden retriever) start the routine about 4:30 pm knowing dinner is close. If I sleep in late past 6 AM, they are barking and whining because they know they should be at the park playing ball……Those internal clocks of theirs is pretty accurate.

Good boy Roscoe!

Our dog Maggie has become a real whiner since she came back from the vet this time. She had been sedated for some procedures and I wonder if that sedation has messed with her emotions. She whines about anything now and it is really annoying.
