pointer

The dog at work must have some pointer blood in her somewhere. (She's mostly german shepherd and black lab.) If you have food on your desk, be it in a sealed plastic container or hot and steaming on a plate, she will stand behind you and wait. If it takes you awhile to finish, she'll sit or lie down, but always facing the food. Even once you finish your food, she will not leave until the plate/container is put away in the dishwasher, just in case you'll let her lick it. Thank goodness she's a properly silent pointer and not a whiny beggar. Silly food pointer dog.
