Starting when he was just 3 weeks old in early 2001 & first able to walk, Puffkin has always approached dining as something he really gets in to. He was our only puppy ever - in many years of show breeding - to be covered in food during the weaning process because he'd always jump (full body) right into the bowl: https://pbase.com/britestar/image/169486144
That hasn't changed during his long life.

In the above photo, he is licking my breakfast dish. Around here, we call it pre rinse for the dish washer. As you can see, all four feet are in the dish. That's pretty typical for Puffkin. He needed to have his feet washed after dining.
