The physical objects can look the same, but I think the words show different intent by the owner and/or different perspective from the dog.

When my pups were little, we used one of those 2' tall and 4' x 4' cage - no bottom. We put their crate in one corner, a puppy pad, food and water, and toys all in there. They only stayed in at night, but when it was bedtime, they ran in there. I think it was a cage, but they thought it was their bedroom.

He licks my feet and does tricks to get my attention. For example, he starts rolling over while I watch TV. Once he gets my attention, he jumps in the air like a deer. I like teaching him how to do trick, and he gets lots of positive reinforcement for doing tricks.

i didn't mean to get everyone all upset and concerned, sorry. i just wrote the wrong word. i understand how one would question why i put him in a cage! it's a crate/cage, but he is only in it at night for bed. again sorry!!

Pixie does the exact same thing! If I ignore her, she'll jump on my lap. and if I'm on the computer, she'll climb on the desk (it's right next to the couch) and lay in between me and the keyboard... lol... She's an attention hog... wouldn't have it any other way

Teddy will stand up and scratch my leg (ow), that gets my attention. Quattro will jump up on my chest and give me little lip licks, as soon as I start petting him he stops. If I stop petting him, he starts licking. Trina scratches your toes and loves foot pets. Robyn gets on top of the couch and lays on my shoulder. Zowie talks wrrr wrrr wrrr! It is so cute, it demands love.

My little Lucky will crawl on my lap and look at me with those big eyes and wiggle his little butt.... He is soooo spoiled. lol By the way, your Lucky is adorable.

Milli will either crawl up your shoulder or catch you laying down, and rub her face all over yours! From side to side, under your chin, and don't forget the forehead! She gives kisses and makes these funny little breathing/grunting sounds and just LOVES on you like there's no tomorrow!

Emma will come right up, do a perfect "sit", and then look you in the eye, as if to say, "ok, pet me...immediately." Or, she will come up and flop straight down on her side and ask for a belly rub!

[Mom to Hot Rod]

If I am standing Hot Rod and Maggie will stand on their hinds and paw at me. If I am sitting on the couch...fair game. They are all over me kissing and jumping and running all over. And I love it!

I feel like it was my fault , too . Sorry .

What Lucky does sounds so cute. Mine rolls over as well, legs all spraddled open (so un-lady like LOL), or she gently paws at my legs.

[JesStang]

Tristan will come stand on me and stare at me. He will get like 2" from my face. He makes it known that he wants attention!
