I want to see a video of this LOL
Sorry, I know it's not funny, but she is just so precious.

What if you hold her and be on the computer, what does she do then?

Dina_Nichole 03-18-2008 07:17 AM
HAHAHAHA, girl all four of mine are this way. When I sit at the computer I have to pull my big saucer chair right smack against me to prevent the crying. Then all four fight to be on my lap. :p Pia is by far the worse. She throws herself all over the place to get my attention. Paisley has the loudest cry in the world. I sometimes cover my ears, LOL. Trixie doesn't actually cry much, she just pushes her way through everyone. Oh and then there's Snooter, he digs and digs my legs and has this whine that he does. It starts off slow and low and then gets worse and worse. Mikey makes fun of him so bad and calls him some not so nice names. :cool: Then I baby that big mommy's boy even more. ;) I'm no help because all four are just like Tate. Good Luck, LOL!! Hey atleast its just her and not Steddy or four like I have. :p

haha funny, my two wont let me on the pc either in the eve,as this is their playtime, they cry whine and have a fit. I just put one of Cindy's napsack on my computer desk and then they are halfway happy, well Rosi is anyway, Apollo cant be trusted as he would jump off as he is a busybody and cant stay still for too long , but Rosi could stay there forever as long as i am sitting there :rolleyes:

when i want pebbles next to me.. what i do is.. i have a big swivel chair that "is hers".. i set it up all nice and put her bed on it with a sheet, and keep the chair next to me. she is happy to lay there next to me, fall asleep or watch the computer screen ;)

Hey girl
I am no help because London does the same thing and i give in all the time and treat her like the princess baby she is lol. She will whine for me to pick her up and sit in my lap, if i move and put her down she will follow and cry for me to pikck her back up. She has her days when she does it more than other days and then i have sophie that also wants to be in my lap so i have to try to make room for the both of them. Teddy isnt a lap baby so i dont have to worry about him but bet. both girls i go crazy hehe. They are too much. So i really have no good advice cause i just treat them like royalty:rolleyes: I shouldn't be giving in, but its soo hard with their faces.

So funny to read your post - I've gone through this with Andrew in the last week. He stands with his front paws on my leg, whines and cries but I don't know what he wants! I tried picking him up but that's not what he wants.

Maybe we can get them together and they can sort out their issues. ;)

Murphy doesn't like it when I talk on the phone. He pulls on my sleeve, like he saying get off the phone. When I go into the bathroom he starts scratching at the door. There is a big space between the floor and the door, he sticks his paws under the door.

I have a GREAT idea!! I live in Texas..You live in Texas..I'll come get her and she can be MY little girl!! I even grew up in Tatum, TX!! I'm retired so I'll just hold her ALL of the time:thumbup: Boomer needs a little sister;) Betsi

Ok I haven't got to read through everyone's replies yet, but I just thought I would post a couple of pictures real quick :eek: I took these about 10 minutes ago of my little mess!! I finally just threw my hands up, got one of her many blankets and put it on my desk, and HER TOO :rolleyes: I didn't know what else to do. Once again, tonight she was whining her little head off once I sat down at the computer...omg. So I said, "That's it Tate! Come here!" :eek: lol geez. So she is up here now for the past 15 minutes or so and so far she seems "SORTA" ok about it but I think she isn't sure what the heck is going on lol. She has gotten in front of my screen a couple of times to look at herself on my desktop and also to read the posts on YT lol. I think she is just trying to be nosey :rolleyes:

She does act a little freaked out sometimes about being up so high, so we will see how long this lasts lol...but anyway, here she is...messy and all! :rolleyes: These aren't the best pics...but I just snapped them really quickly so I could post them :p

wengaroni 03-18-2008 08:27 PM

SladesMommy 03-18-2008 08:28 PM

I'm even able to go to the bathroom by myself!

She is such a little precious; I don't know how you could resist her, I imagine she'll outgrow this with time. I just don't know how people leave them all day to go work! I have seriously cut down on my shopping except Internet; I just hate leaving him.
I sure hope she outgrows it! :eek: I don't mind her wanting to be held (I love holding her :luvu:) BUT....the crying for me when I am on the computer is going to slowly make me crazy lol.

Thank you for your sweet compliments on her, hehe....she is indeed a sweetheart, but a very needy one at that, lol! I am soooo glad I don't have to work :eek: I seriously don't know what I'd do with her...she would FREAK OUT if I had to leave her all day :eek:

If I really don't want to be bothered, I say, "No -- Mommy is doing something right now," and then ignore him. He'll then lay down in his bed and look pitifully at me or go off somewhere else in the house. Sometimes, if I REALLY don't want to be bothered with him, I'll bribe him with a Kong stuffed with his favorite yummies. The, sometimes, I give in and let him up on my shoulder and try to type with one hand!
LOL awww, I can just picture little Archie doing that...he is so stinkin' cute! :D At least HE will give up and go somewhere else LOL...Tatum NEVER quits :eek:

He loves to lay in my lap like he is now. He does like to lay under my chair and feet too. He does try to lay on my shoulders like he does when we are on the couch, but I don't let him do that. I'm afraid that he will decide that he wants down and try to jump off.

And when I have the laptop out, oh boy! He is right there in front of me with his head right on the built-in mouse too! I had to turn that mouse off and buy a regular mouse to use.
Oh my gosh, how cute :lol tears He presses the space bar with his little paw....hahaha!! Awww! That is so adorable :luvu:

Oh and let me tell you...I feel your pain because when I am on the laptop on the couch, Tatum actually GETS ON IT and stands right in front of the screen. She does this EVERY TIME...and she blocks my view :rolleyes: She opens up a million windows and everything...good Lord :rolleyes: I swear this girl of mine has some sort of an obsession with laptops. And so does the cat! :rolleyes:

Grizzley Bear 03-18-2008 08:43 PM
Oh My.. What a cute mess you have.. :p She is a doll!! I just think she wants to be right next to her Mommy and then everything is perfect!! I thought that was so awesome when you posted "Hubby says when I walk out the door she just lays right by it, as close as she can possibly get to it, and she just waits. For me to come back in". Melted my heart. :aimeeyork :p Blessed you are Brooke!!:p Love the photos!!

She will sit and cry and whine if she wants to be picked up when she's on the computer. To really drive her crazy, she will bring her bone over and keep picking it up and dropping it, over and over again!
Wrigley is obsessed with showers! If I'm in the basement and my Mom is on the 2nd floor in the shower, I can hear her losing her mind! It's like she thinks something is happening to her in the shower and she screams her head off the entire time!!
She is a total bratty, brat! That's why we call her " little Nellie Olson " from Little House on the Prairie!
I wish I had advice, just take comfort that you are not alone!:)
LOL this is so cute...what a doll baby! :p I just pictured the thing with the bone in my head as I was reading you post and I laughed out loud :D How adorable! :laugh:

I'm SO glad that I am not alone with this...man, these babies of ours can really make us crazy sometimes LOL :eek:

tumismom 03-19-2008 07:03 AM
oh dear! what a cute little mess you have there! I think you have a big problem and i think you need to send her to her god mommy!:D :p Well, mine are being cry babies this morning too. My hubby had to wake up early to do some international confrence call and he was out in the living room with them. I wanted to sleep in so i closed the bed room door and they were both crying and scrating the door til i opened it..stinkers!!! but it was all forgiven after they gave me tons of kisses..lol:rolleyes:

I try to do this throughout the day, to make her learn that she can get attention/please me by being quiet, instead of thinking that by crying she will get attention. I dont know if this will work for all situations, but i read this in my training book and it seems to be working so far
I agree with this method. It has helped me out alot when Dior was in her whining stage.:thumbup:

BellieBoo 03-19-2008 07:23 AM
i think we need Cesar Millan's help...

although i'm sure he'd flip at us giving in to the babies (i do it too... =/ )

Nancy1999 03-19-2008 09:41 AM
Was Stedman like that when he was younger, or has he always been more independent? How does he handle Tatum taking so much of your time? When I think about adding a little girl to the family, I worry that Joey will feel left out.

I had to use a little Tough LUV, "as I am typing, Tricksie wants in my lap".
I started fixing her a treat when I got on the computer.


I just tell her, "wait", and she just goes about her business. It took a bit for her to get it. She wants to be touching me every min., also give her a new toy.
