I think it is a yorkie thing. If I am ignoring Sawyer, he runs full speed into a brass planter I have sitting by the door. It makes a horrible sound on the tile floors. He will also sit on my husbands lap, and stare and bark at me like he needed the extra height to be eyelevel
One thing is for sure, yorkies will not be ignored, and will be smart in finding ways to get their message across.
