Pathetic

Charlie is still limited to the kitchen and family rooms (non-carpeted areas of the house...) because he's not 100% house-trained yet. For the most part, someone is generally in those rooms with him, so he'll either hang out in his little doggy bed, or he'll lay on someone's lap. But during meal-time, we're in the diningroom where he's not allowed (the diningroom is non-carpeted, but leads into the livingroom, which IS carpeted, and there's no way to block it off), so he lays by the baby gate and peeks at us from underneath, looking entirely pathetic.
