With intent

Tara is staying with us tonight. Hendricks ate about 1/3 of his supper, then did his best "please!" sit for several minutes staring fixedly across to Tara's bowl. (She had liver and frankfurter in hers - she's an old girl and gets lots of treats - but she hadn't finished hers either, so Hendricks clearly felt he should be allowed to go over and help her :))
