I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Tatum won't let me get on the computer anymore. Ok, so I am losing my mind here lol. Tatum has started this "new thing" where she whines and cries every single time I get on the computer. I kid you not. She does not want me out of her sight and she gets SO upset when she doesn't have my full attention. I seriously don't know what to do about this It's like any time I am not with her, she just cries for me She seriously acts like such a little baby! I don't know what to do with her! I get on here and try to relax and read posts, reply to PM's, etc., and I am just a nervous wreck because the whole time I am on here Tatum is standing there looking at me crying. She is doing it right now! She never whines or cries when I am with her, when she is sitting on my lap or when I am holding her (she LOVES to be held, but by me only, lol). OMG, I'm sorry to say but this little girl is just making me lose my mind here, LOL. She makes me a nervous wreck when I am trying to type and she is just standing there crying It's just like she has to have my full attention or she is not happy and I don't know what to do about it! 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 She also won't jump off the couch anymore (she is seriously becoming the biggest baby and I don't know why LOL) and if I get up even for TWO SECONDS, she CRIES HER HEAD OFF for me and will NOT stop until I pick her up. Is there anything I can do about this?? I mean honestly, I have no idea! After sitting here typing all this, she is STILL crying for me to pick her up. Oh good Lord...someone help me LOL.

Lovin' 2 Girls Donating Member | Sooooo....pick her up! LOL You mean you haven't mastered the Yorkie method of typing? I thought we ALLLLL typed with a yorkie in our laps, or at least, on the desk! Abigail is not in here right now; but, if she were, her little head would be bee-bopping with each keystroke, as she plants her head on my wrist! I sometimes have to move her so I can get around the keyboard!

| i say dont encourage her. dont give in. I know its hard but do not pay attention to her when she is whining! pebbles does this too. whenever i leave the room she starts to whine and cry... it has gotten so bad she has even learned how to HOWL with her little tiny voice! she is too much!! talk about a baby! when she is doing this i ignore her and when, for whatever reason, she stops for a bit.. i come running in and say GOOD QUIET and give her affection. 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 |

| Oh my, that poor little sweetheart. Is it possible for her to sit on your lap while you are on the computer, that's what Stella does. She has turned into quite the little computer nerd I understand where you are coming from when you can't get out of her site. |

Your right though...I'm sure ignoring her little whines and then praising her when she's quiet will work...I am going to have to try that. But I have to say, it is going to be HARD. lol.

| Oh lord!! Riley has started doing this too. I can play with him for hours and as soon as I take a break and check YT, he cries. Sometimes if I'm laying in the floor, he'll come sit on my chest. Lol. I try to ignore him. I absolutely hate doing it, but he eventually goes and plays with his toys. I feel like I'm ignoring him though. |

| Banjo was doing that some, also! but not all the time- just if he didn't have anything HE WANTED to do!! I would give him a kong w/ peanut butter! Give him something else to think about for a bit!! 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!!
