No, Your Animals Do Not Beg

Our animals BEG.

This past Friday night while at Liz & Jonathan's house, we were treated to a lovely meal prepared by Jonathan (risotto with shrimp and asparagus). Even though we've been friends for a quite a while and frequently eat at their house, they feel the need to apologize for the "begging" their animals do. Their animals beg by laying down about ten feet away while starring at us.

We try to tell them, they don't understand what we have to go through every time we want to eat.

Here's three out of our four pets demanding food from my dear mother in law.
This picture doesn't even include the worst offender (the big dog - Molly).

Please Liz & Jonathan (and any other friends who have animals), do not apologize for the begging your animals do - it's nothing when compared with our animals.
