No, I have an eagle eye with my plates. I don’t blame your pup though! It looks yummy.

My pup is pretty good about not eating people food unless I hand it to her. But my parents dogs…not so much. Wine+run sounds terrible. But I bet wine+recumbent bike at the gym and an US Weekly would work out okay 🙂

Since snow covered my balcony, I have to find creative ways to find great light night and day ;).
Before that, I was looking weird, outside on my balcony at -10°C taking pictures and freezing :P.

Nice that you got to do a run- it is COLD out here! And NO I would never put my plate down near where my pets could take off from it 🙁

You have great neighbors. Mine avoid even making eye contact, no matter how many times we pass each other in the hall or if I say ‘hi.’ It’s strange.

I’ve got no pets so I can put my plate anywhere. It usually goes outside, on the window sill or in my dorky lightbox

I most definitely cannot put my food on the floor. My dog would take that as an open invitation… But if it’s on a table or tv tray or something 99% of the time it is safe.

“we’ll put our plates in some weird locations to get the best light. Especially at night.”

Omg I am traveling and the lighting in my kitchen here SUCKS! No matter how many windows & curtains i open, doors, angles, places, you name it, everything is either orange. Or in shadows. In broad daylight. So yeah, i hear you.

But I can’t complain b/c im in Aruba and so ill take the craptastic kitchen lighting anyway 🙂

In front of my pet? Yes. In front of my sister’s crazy cats? Heck no. Especially when dinner is sushi.

Too funny! I think I could get away with leaving my plate on the floor in front of the dog – but just for a very brief while. If I leave the room for more than just a second – he’ll think it’s fair game for sure!

Seeing as my most recent pet was a bird (Jellybean, may you rest in peace after 10 good long years), he would probably step all over my food were he given the chance. So no.

If I tried to run after boozing (however lightly) I’d be TOAST.

I think Addie would go straight for it!
I love getting new ideas for where to put my food though for pictures!

I would put my plate on the floor in front of our dogs. They may not have the best behavior, but respect that food on plates isn’t for them. If only I could convince our little fluffer (our year old maltipoo) to be as good at coming when I called her, life would be good!

I would never put food in front of a dog or cat. ever. The only pet I have at the moment is a fish, so I think it would be ok to put food in front of him.

No way! My dog is a thief, I caught her the other night sticking her nose in a tin of cookies I was going to mail the next day. Drinks aren’t even safe with her, she loves tea!

YES, and I can leave the room. Cody, my perfect dog.

I don’t have a pet, but my parent’s dog is allowed to lick the plates (they have a dishwasher so all germs get killed afterwards) so he would just think he got super lucky if a full plate of food was on the floor!

I have 3 chocolate labs and to say they LOOOOVE food would be an understatement. One, very politely, always waits to be given permission for everything. The other 2, if told to wait, would drool so fiercely that I’m afraid they would flood my house. But if I give the OK…don’t be between them and the plate!!

I do the same thing with my oatmeal in the mornings. I lay it on the floor by the big sliding door to get the best light but what no one really sees is my little pup hovered over the bowl licking his chops in the background.
Wine before running! That could be the next best thing if it wasn’t for the whole gastro problems. 😉

I wouldn’t dare do that – Chooey would have the plate in two seconds, haha 🙂

Haha…my black lab was trained to “leave it” on request, but I still couldn’t trust him with a meatball. 😉

If I were watching her I think it would be okay. Otherwise, not a chance.
Especially if the meal involved cheese or peanuts.

I have 2 cats and 2 dogs, so definitely not. The dogs at least will leave my plate alone unless it’s on the floor, but the cats will steal food off the table if it’s left unattended. The only safe place to leave a dish alone in my house is the kitchen counter!

I tried to do this for the first time the other day and both my dogs charged the plate. Looks like I won’t be doing any floor photography unless my husband is around to play goalie. 🙂

I’m always putting my plates on the floor trying to get good lighting! Luckily I don’t have any pets!

my 150 lb newfoundland knows he’s not supposed to touch our food, but he gets his big huge nose as close as he possibly can and just sniffs really hard… like maybe the smell will be enough to satisfy him.
watch out if you put on chapstick… b/c he tries to do the same thing, only then his huge wet nose is right in your face! hahaha

No way! My kitty would be right in there!
