Entitlement

Over the years I've picked up many titles
One of them is Chief Plate Licker (CPL)
The duty of this office is obvious
And I perform it skillfully at every opportunity
It requires unwavering dedication in the face of stern opposition
Which is to say that The Lady does not sanction this
In fact she quite strongly disapproves
The man also discourages this
Although he provided tacit approval for this strictly documentary photo
Which I think he is posting at considerable personal risk to himself

Baldr~ (CPL, etc)

Note from the man: another of Baldr's many titles is IRC - Incorrigible Resident Canine.
We simply cannot leave plates anywhere within his considerable reach.
In this he is brazen and unrepentant.

That is what dogs do. If the boss is too lazy, he has to take care of his own food. BV

Brazen and unrepentant...I think the man has gone overboard Baldr!!! You poor guy, all you're trying do is help with the dishes and you get labeled as a bad boy. Don't worry Baldr we have a CPL here as well.
Great documentary shot Kevin.

Baldr must have taken a hint from that magazine "Living"....living well to the last bit :) V

Used to be, dogs were given the table scraps, now all they get is to lick a plate!

Looks like he is doing a great job, so the title is well deserved. "V"

Superb text and scene. V.

The view and the text brought a grin and a reminder that we also lived this. "V"

I say "no harm, no foul" since he didn't leave the plate there in the first place :-)

a clever opportunist, and that's a commendable quality...after all it works for photographers too..

Sasha helped clean off the plates, whether asked to or not, so I think it is that innate sense of helpfulness dogs have :-)) Of course, a little bit of self-interest doesn't hurt! Love this shot. ~V~V~

If you end up in court you could try to claim that this was photoshopped and that you and the alleged CPL are victims of a politically motivated witch-hunt.

What a great shot and comment from the CPL. Maybe he's just trying to save you dish-washing time.

He's being helpful. What an admirable sense of duty!
