Mare, the small one, she is 10 months, is very persistant!

She picks up a toy and places it in front of my feet when I'm sitting on the couch. She sits and looks at me wagging her tail at 100mph - the signal is clear: "Mommy, play with me!" If I do not comply, she will take the toy and growl at it while shaking it violently and looking at me as if to say: "See, it's really really fun!", then place it at my feet and wag her tail again.
If this does not make me pick it up she will start to bark at me in a certain way, like tiny low impatient barks. If I do not respond, Kali, the older dog will come and play with her.
But it is so funny to watch her sitting there barking impatient at me while wagging her tail violently to get me to play with her.
Kali never did anything like that, she always just waited for me to take the initiative to play. I love that my dogs have such different personalities!
