Dinnertime from a Dogs Point of View

Every meal time I go through the same routine. I cook Charlie his food, put him in his chair and for about 10 or 15 minutes, I repeat the following. . . "Charlie, NO - Stop throwing your food. Oliver, Lola (my dogs) stop begging and get out of the kitchen. Charlie - NO -NO please don't feed the dogs. Oliver and Lola - Get down. Charlie, eat your dinner. Oliver, Get your tongue off his food. " That little ditty is repeated at least a dozen times during each meal. When I am really drained, I may just shorten it to "No No No No No No No" while looking at each offender. Tonight I thought I take some pictures at dinnertime to capture that moment, but I found that I couldn't hold my camera, maneuver between the two dogs, the chair and food that was being thrown. So, instead, I went a new route. I captured dinner from 2 points of view - mine and the dogs. Here they are. . .
My point of view. This is location from where I continuously reprimand all 3 of my naughty kids.
The dogs point of view. The exact location where they blatantly ignore my commands, and eat half of Charlie's meal each day.
