How does your dog tell you it's -their- dinnertime? (piefed.social)

(My last post was misunderstood, so I'd just like to clarify a bit)

This isn't really a bad behavior that needs correcting or anything like that, I just find it really hilarious. My dog acts absolutely pathetic to the point where it makes me laugh. He starts staring me down about an hour beforehand. If I try and pet him he tells me no, he doesn't want any pets, yet keeps on being as close (and annoying!) as possible. He will put his head on me, paws on me, anything he can to let me know he's starving, to DEATH!!!

So, how does your dog act when he knows it's dinnertime and you just won't feed him already?

We have a measuring cup for scooping out the food, and my biggest one will bump it gently with her nose and then make the hard eye contact, with fleeting glances back to the cup to make sure I got it. The little one will yodel and paw at my legs and try to lead me to the food, and then refuse to eat it out of his own bowl and will steal the big one's food anyway.
