Grace knows her limits but insists on pushing them.

 ;D The look in her eyes is too funny, she looks like she is desperate for food lol..... She seems to be a girl who keeps her mom on her toes.

on my toes, on my feet, on my head, on my knees, on my hands, on my nerves, on the ceiling...yes, she keeps me.  :)  she'll calm down soon. 
She knows we keep a candy dish of bones on that table...and she was reaching for them last night.  Both girls have toppled that table a couple of times.

Ohhhhh now I am green of envy lol..... How in the world do you get away with having a bowl of treats on the table?????? In this house everything that is somewhat good to eat has to be in cabinets or drawers or maybe in the bone shaped "cooke jar" I keep on the island in the kitchen, but that's it. Tell me your secret lol....

I'm not sure how that works.  Lady can reach the dish (it's got a lid on it) no problem...but Grace has to make it obvious that she's reaching for it.  I have at least one eye on them at all times when they're in the living room so they know not to knock it over.  I have a feeling that in a few weeks though the dish will have to go up way up. 
And Grace is more addicted to trying to spill the drinks on the coffee table than getting the bones.  Besides, she can always dig out a bone from Mommy's pocket if she needs a fix. ;D

AH!  Too funny (Too cute!)  My English Mastiff is counter level - never mind the table!  I have a breakfast bar that we use to eat at or we would be dining with our pups every meal!  Oh, and their tails never stop!  We have lost a drink or two right off the coffee table in one quick swoop!  NO!  Not the BEER!

Very cute. She is walking that very fine line that says, "Now how close can I get without getting into traouble with mom".

That would be alcohol abuse!  :) 
Lady once...made someone spill a Segrams and 7 on the ground and now she goes nuts when she smells it and if you let her she'll lap up an entire one or two.  Grace has a thing for Schnapps.  She discovered that once when I was walking Lady outside and left my fuzzy navel on the coffee table within paws reach. 
Good thing is we don't have tails...just little stubs. 
Lady is about 5 feet on her back paws and 2 1/2 feet on all 4's.  So even at the bar we get a big head on our legs,  little eyes gazing lovingly up and a wet face staining our pants.   How can one resist.  They make it so hard to say no, don't they?

Sometimes, like all our kids, she'll cross the line just because the want outweighs the consequences.  :-\
