I don't use a plate when I am alone, I eat out of the pot

My dogs clean the floor under the kids' chairs, too...

I have a pug. My co-worker was bragging that HIS dogs are "working dogs." I was like, "Holly cleans the floor," and he really couldn't argue with that.

I don't remember ever licking my bowl clean. But I do remember back in college I had a food bowl and a water bowl since cups cost more than I was willing to spend.

Alas, I do not cook that well and so never felt the need. But I am shocked the Creole restaurants do not have closed booths so that people can give the food the appreciation it deserves re plate licking.
