Do any of your dogs do this?? (Attention whores!!)

[Starbucks]

My dogs are sooo spoiled children!!

Alfie - if you are watching TV and tickle is tummy or something and then stop - he makes a strange squeaking noise as if to say "Don't stop!!!!"

Star (and mums dog Buffy) - if they want some attention resort to poking and/or barking at me!! Who ever said "paw" and "speak" were good tricks!!

All of the above wake me up to get under the covers at night.

How spoiled is your dog?

I get high-fived in the face if I am not giving B my full and undivided attention.

Oh and he also does a frantic, headlong dive, landing upside down at my feet, so that I can tickle his tummy with one hand while he slobbers and mouths my other hand

When he was living in the house, recuperating from an operation, when he wanted out at 4am for a pee he would nudge open my bedroom door and bark in my face.

One good thing about my dogs is that they NEVER wake me up to go for a pee - even if I lie in until 12!! They must have mega bladders!!

Chloe smacks me in the face if I'm not paying her enough attention! xxxx

Yip Pumpkin lies on her back and 'paddles' in the air with her front legs till you tickle her tummy. The minute you stop she starts paddling again....this goes on for hours.

Stella is an independent soul for the most part, but woe betide anyone who attempts to do yoga (erm, me) in the apartment. She will find her nearest fluffy toy and whack you over the head with it.

If my foot is dangling over the edge of the sofa Otto will rub up against it like a cat until you scratch his tummy with your toes, he loves it

When I'm in bed and he wants attention he sits and rests his chin on the side of bed level with my face and just stares at me

Evie will bring a toy and drop it in your lap, inviting you throw it for her. When that fails I tend to get a Shepherd trying to climb on my knee, just to remind me she is there

Otto does that, although he stands waiting for you to take it from him, only inside though, outside he couldn't care less unless it's an actual dead animal - thankfully he doesn't drop those in my lap

Star climes on everyone, I'm sure she thinks she's a lap dog!! Mind you she also gets up and sits on the dining room chairs when we are having dinner so maybe she thinks she human!

Henmeister, I LOVE your signature!

Rip does the 'Rippy shuffle', this involves doing a beautiful piaffe, bit like a doggy river dance at times, combined with helicoptering tail and ramming his face into whatever part of you is handy, he doesn't take no for an answer, if you are sitting down he'll climb on you (not a small dog) if you are upright he'll go behind you and ram into your knees.

Poppy just sits and talks at me, not just a yip, she has a one sided conversation (in that high pitched GSD way) probably calling me all sorts of rude names.
Oh, she also has a thing about just washed clothes, if I am hanging the washing out she'll stick her head in the basket, steal something and put it in her bed with her other treasures.

Boston just lies in front of you with his current toy, be it someones' shoe or boot, ball, twig, leaf, water can, cat, walnut, lump of poo etc, he does the silent scream "Pick up the toy and bloody well THROW IT!" If you ignore him he will collect the 'toy' and drop it on you then lie back down again twitching in anticipation. Keep ignoring him and he will pick it up then put it back on you again, and again, and again. We tell people "Don't make him happy, DO NOT throw whatever he gives you!" At least he doesn't bark. I had a terrier that would bark in a monotone, woof...woof...woof, on and on and on, probably for hours, I always gave up after 20 minutes as I had neighbours to consider.
