He's a Love Hound

I've spoiled my dog ever since he was a little puppy. I've always bathed him with lots of love and affection. I spend countless hours playing with him, petting him and brushing his fur. And in my family, he's the center of attention. Now, mind you things haven't changed in the least bit, but he's started to develop a new habit. When I sit at my computer, typing away at my blog or surfing the internet, he gets a bit frustrated and annoyed. I pet him a little while, then my hand falls away to type something on my keyboard. So, he takes things into his own hands. He's developed the habit of brushing himself with the sleeves of a heavy winter jacket that rests on the back of a chair. He cleverly sneaks up underneath the jacket and walks back and forth swinging his hips to get the full effect. When the journey beneath the layers of fabric ends, he's left with one armsleeve resting on his body as though a human hand were patting his back. It's absolutely hilarious and being the shameless and innocent creature he is, he's unphazed by my laughter. Gotta love dogs!

i have a lovely, neurotic, high-
strung yorkie. he does the same
thing! his attention getter is
a growl low in his throat. it is
pretty massive for such an itty-bitty dog. my son taught him to roll over to have his belly rubbed.
the funny thing is he always rolls over an arms length away, so when you can't reach him, he gets very
irrated. he is something!

thanks so much for reading my blog
and leaving uplifting messages. they are greatly appreciated!

Awww...that's so cute! Libby our cat does the same thing - when she's not the center of attention anymore (ie. we're on the computer), she gets right in our face, or sits on my hand which is over the mouse. lol! Pets, can't live with them, can't live without 'em! :)

Kelly,

Oh I love yorkies! You should post a pic of him on your blog, I'd love to see him!
I love visiting your blog and I'm glad you visit mine! We are internet kindred spirits, if there is such a thing.

Bev,

That's too cute Bev! Yeah, what would we do without our pets? They bring a whole other dimension to our lives.
