Rosy's young and foolish, as many pups are. She simply bulldozes her way around without any grace. There is an art to begging that requires patience and subtlety.
Rosy can whine, jump around, and paw at the human's legs all she wants. I know the true secrets to getting the good stuff - sit in the human's line of vision and give your best, most pathetic-looking slump and sad face. If needed, add a cute tongue sticking out and/or uncurl the tail.
Works every time.
Both of my pugs have their own methods when it comes to begging too. Mai Tai is the subtle one. Well...sometimes. He likes to slouch and sit directly in front of the cabinet where his food is stored. Every so often he scratches the cabinet to let us know he is still there. Gronk on the other hand is the obvious begger who leans up against your leg and wines until food is dropped to the floor. Don't you just love them? Great post!
