Tatum won't let me get on the computer anymore.

Oh my gosh, Tatum does that too! If I happen to lay down on the floor (which usually isn't very often, lol...I usually just go to the couch ) - but if I do...there's Tator RIGHT on my chest! I mean she's ALWAYS there, no matter what... I swear, she is just glued to my hip!

I really am glad to hear that I am not the only one though...WHEW! lol. Riley and Tate sound very similar in their little ways I am going to have to just try and ignore her and see how she does She is very hard headed sometimes though, lol...she doesn't ever want to just GIVE UP!

[tumismom]

Just try putting her bed by you on the floor!
Banjo's playpen is right by my PC, but that got to be a game for my attention- Let me in it- ok- now let me out! No I want back in- out. please- right now!!!Yap, yap, yap,yap!!!
I quite that game-he liked it much more than I did!!do you have a crate- but it on a chair by you- make sure she can't wiggle it off the chair!!
Arn't they funny!
My Bf gripes about me being on PC- I think he trained Banjo!!

LOL!! Reading your post just cracked me up Banjo sounds sooo cute And alot like Tatum! Hmmm...I have tried giving her toys before and she just TOTALLY ignores them She plays with them alot, but only if I am in the room with her, not focusing all my attention on the computer if that makes any sense lol. I might try giving her-her Chilly Bone as she REALLY does love that thing. She also LOVES LOVES LOVES crushed ice (I swear she likes it more than treats ) - she has a thing for all things "cold" - she is goofy lol

Oh that's another thing SHOWERS. Sometimes I just want peace...ya know? LOL. I will go in there and close the door and what do I hear? Little tiny paws on the bathroom door...and little whines, and a tiny little black Yorkie nose sniffing and twitching under the door like a bunny OMG Calgon take me AWAY!

Tell Tumi to come on over and teach Tator some lessons on being independent!

I wondered how everyone spent so much time at the computer with little ones. I had to "retire" for while, it was too hard to type with Joey on my lap, but I could keep reading and looking at pictures. He's older, and more independent now, and seems content to lie beside me. 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.

[Archie's Mom]

Archie does this too when I'm on the computer -- not only does the little stinkeroo whine, but he hops up and down next to my chair. 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!

[LittleMansMomma]

Little Man whines when I am on the computer too, I usually pick him up and put him in my lap. Makes it hard to type when he isn't comfortable. He likes to press the space bar with his paws. 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.

Wrigley is obsessed with my Mom! She has to know where she is at all times, if she's in a deep sleep and my Mom gets up, her little head pops up to see where she is!
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!

[kezza]

oh my gosh!! Pixie is worse!! she scratches at my leg and whines, growls, squeaks, and yaps gradually louder and louder until i just cannot ignore it anymore! I will have to get a video of her doing it for you! she hates me being distracted and has to have my full attention at all times! she's such a spoilt brat..but she does make me laugh because she is so strong willed and knows exactly what she wants!

[Betty'sMom]

If I am on the computer and Betty doesn't want me there...she pulls on my shirt...hard! Trying to pull me off! And barks like a German Shepherd. She doesn't want me to hold her or anything sweet like that. She just feels like saying, "GET OFF!!" Her 'rottenness' is legendary!

[RebelBelle]

LOL! Oh Brooke I wish it was as easy as just holding Jamie. He wants to PLAYYYYYY all the time. He loves to play fetch and we have a long hall way so he always want me to throw the ball to the end of it so he can chase it and I'm sorry but I do not pitch for the Yankees! After about 30 or so repetitive throws I get tired and stop and then he barks not stop until I throw it again... And he NEVER gets tired! So look at the positive, at least Tate is just driving you crazy and not giving you a rotator cuff injury as well. Of course then again if he wanted to lay on me all the time I probably would get tired of that too. Furbabies... can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em...

[chachi]

Aw that is sweet. Jewels is my needy one and she does things like that too. Sometimes when I am busy I gnore her and eventually she will go off and do her own thing

[Kbsqueff]

Oh girl, you're so not alone... When I'm on the computer, Hannah whines, yaps, growls, barks and scratchs my leg until I pick her up... This happens every single time... And Maggie Lou wants to get up on my lap on chilly days... Sooooo, on winter time I have not one but TWO furballs on my lap while I'm on the computer... I can barely type anything...

[diggy4]

I have the PERFECT solution......

SEND HER TO ME

Bella is the same way just in the last week....well since she was sick SO loveable and doesnt not want me out of her site???? I dont get it either.

[Jody Renfroe]

Sorry you're having a problem. Scooter wants all of my attention too, so when I get on the computer, I put him on my lap and he sleeps. We're both happy that way!
