Gigi really knows how to work it when she sees you eating anything. I know I should really teach her to not even get up on the couch while we eat, but she just looks so cute when she begs for food that I can't help but let her stay on the couch. What she does is if you have your leg bent on the couch with your foot resting flat on the sofa and knee bent up so that your thigh is verticle (hope I'm explaining this right...wish I had a picture to post of it), she will rest her head up on your knee, with her nose pointing up to the ceiling and look at you sideways with the most pitiful eyes. She keeps this stance until you give her something, which I cave into all the time.
