Good boy!

Mama had gotten Tug a big pillow to sit on and my sister and I used it in self-defense at the table one night. He sat on it between us and stayed pretty quiet if we'd reach down and pet him every so often.

It's stayed there. Now, when we're eating, he spends most of his time sitting there watching us and less time licking and trying to get our attention. Yes, we know we spoil him horribly and foster very bad habits but at least he's behaving! (Of course, the bits of food we drop help- much of it accidentally and not "accidentally-on-purpose.")
