     me too. I’d refuse it. Actually in don’t like anyone reaching & grabbing my ice for any reason. I prefer ice off the door, lol.

     The youngest is 8 and likes me to brushe her hair and put it in a ponytail. I refuse to brush in my kitchen. That freaks me out and that’s usually where I am when she brings me the brush, so I understand your point. I hate to see the hairbrush near the kitchen or dining table.

     I’m really glad I don’t live with some of you guys.  And you’re probably glad you don’t live with me either.  I’d drive some of you to the loony bin with what I do.

    How about this, I always let my dog lick my plate when I’m done eating?

     As long as it’s not before I’m good with it.

    Chip loves to lick the plate after I have poached eggs or oatmeal.  I don’t cook much other than that.

    I’ve had a ton of dogs all my life, always let them lick my plate. I would never let them have anything harmful (ala chicken bones) or chocolate, etc. Why would this be bad for a dog? As long as you’re responsible about it, no problem. Show me studies/evidence where a few people leftovers can be harmful. I think we sometimes get perceptions that have nothing to do with reality.

    I’ve had pets my whole life and we’ve never given them people food and any GOOD Vet would co sign that…  Just my opinion guys – lets not get emotional about it.

     (and I wouldn’t count letting them lick the plate as feeding them people food) is because of the likelyhood of them not getting a balanced diet.  Dog food is formulated specifically so they get the proper nutrition.  I don’t think a bite here and there is going to do any harm.

    Actually, I thought you were just being funny TFlo.

    I meant some large amount. I tend to clean my plate so what the dogs lick is minimal. My father used to give our dogs a generous amount which led to them gaining weight. That certainly is NOT a good idea.
    Also, some people give “table scraps” which to me would indicate something I would not eat, let alone give to a pet.
