When Rizzo gets desperate for mom's attention he'll sit in front of me and whine and whine (thank goodness he doesn't bark at me) and rather than acknowledging him I get up and leave the room. He's been whining at me less and less, but he does get persistant with what he's trying to tell me (i.e. dropping a ball in my lap then leaping to the floor, tail wagging, tongue out, readying himself for action at my slightest movement) as long as he does this quietly I give in and do what he wants
