[chattiesmom]

Chattie is completely and entirely obsessed with me. Now she likes other people, but she is obsessed with me. If a human type dog is talking to me, she will manipulate them to pick her up and then will actually have them bring her to me. I have done my own little "blind" experiments with her and watched..... she always uses the same m.o. She will bark at the offending human that is talking to me, then she will climb up their leg until they pick her up. Then she will use her front legs and turn around and look at me and "push off" their chest. The person holding Chattie has no choice but to bring her to me or set her down. If they set her down then it starts over again (she is such a bratt) and if they hand Chattie over to me, then she immediately wants to get down and the process starts over again.

Does this type of behavior sound familar?
