    How does your dog get your attention?

    Peej will sit and stare at me...usually with a toy in his mouth. If that doesn't work, he'll keep trying to give me his paw. I can always sense when he's looking at me. It's like he burns a hole through me.

    Bailey is a little more subtle. She will lay across the room and start growling very softly. If that doesn't work she'll start to cry and wag her tail. If that doesn't work, she'll bark at me until I talk to her. Then she gets happy and runs around.

    What do your dogs do to get your attention?

    Tango stares for a long time and then makes a very quiet barking noise or sometimes she just drops a ball in their lap lol. Echo comes up and nudges her head under someone's are or hand and then licks them a little. Tia sits staring at you then she wags her tail and makes a whining/barking noise.

    Harley does this thing where he sits on my lap and paws at me. Sylvia must have noticed this because now she does it for everything!

    Diamond paws at us to get our attention. Jada will run at you and "bonk" you right in the face with her nose.
    I have been woken up many a morning with Jada bonking me right in the eye with her nose. One of these days she just might put my eye out. Lol. Btw is "bonk" even a word?

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    Nala will come and plop her big head on me.. normally my arm or leg, and DROOL.

    Simba will run up and whine, and then run back to whatever he wants (go outside, eat, water, ect..)

    Kiara generall brings me a ball and nudges it into me whenever she wants to play. To go outside, her and Nala both run through the verticle blinds like CRAZY.

    Depends.

    To wake me up in the morning, Samantha will put her front paws on the bed and paw me with one of them.

    If I'm on the computer, she will come up and nudge at either my back/butt or hit my elbow.

    If I'm on the phone, she'll come up and stick her nose right by my <unmentionables>.

    If she wants to go outside and I'm on the couch watching TV, she stands in front of me, does a low boof and stares until I ask her if she wants to go out.

    Tasha will stare and whine and if that doesn't work she will come lay her head in my lap or on my leg. Tommy will lay down with a big thump nearby and yawn loudly and sigh and moan . Sometimes he'll rest his head on my leg as well. That used to always work and I couldn't resist petting them then, but I refrain now until they lay down and behave so that they don't get too manipulative for attention . Once they give up and lay down a few moments I call them to me and give them lots of cuddles. I can pretty much tell when they are wanting attention versus when they are needing to go out.

    Sheba will come over and stare at me.

    Rocky will come over and keep hitting me
    with his paw.

  15. As a greeting thing from coming in from outside,, Kirby will run up to me,, and lay down with his belly on the floor and bark at me. LOL

    if he wants extra attention,, he will jump up in the chair or couch next to me,, and flop his head on my lap or bark at me sometimes both.
