I agree with your furbaby trying to get your attention. Addie will bark at us if we are sitting on the couch and she is not included. She will make herself the center of attention and then come sit with us. She also does this when she wants us to play with her. They are very smart, so Darla is letting you guys know that she is not happy missing all the action. It can be frustrating!! Sorry that I have not found a way to stop it, I can just understand
