Ohhh the fake stretching! Max does the fake stretching when he wants something too! He also cries constantly! He will sit right below me and if he's not stretching he will cry and cry until I finally get up to see what he wants. It's usually a treat or carrot.

Cooper is too much of a princess to actually climb my leg ladder. He just looks adorable and forces me to pick him up with his fake smiles.

Max talks like Astro from Jetsons to let me know things.

My favorite is Teddy when he needs something. He gets my attention and I have to ask a series of questions to figure out what he wants. When I get to the right question, Teddy turns in a circle and wags his tail.

Jack does this too!

Isn't it amusing to hear how similar some of our pups behaviors are? I'm loving this; thanks everyone for sharing!

I cracked up last night as Maddie started to eat...she picked up a piece of kibble and went to the rug in the den to eat it. She then came back to her bowl for another...went to the rug in the kitchen to eat it...back to the bowl, back to the den...etc,etc,etc.....until the entire meal was over! Do I have an OCD child or just a crazy girl?

Hello Kelly-rn and welcome! No, its not just your girl - my Jack will do this too - he takes a piece of kibble from the bowl and goes in the opposite direction a few feet, and then eats, comes back to his bowl and its a repeat. Neither Jack nor Izzy will eat their food unless either my hubby or I are in the room with them though.

Our Sheltie used to do that too - he would take his kibble from his bowl in the kitchen and take it to the dining room to eat.

Amy will come to you and nibble on your ankle to ell you she has to go out. It works well but if you don't stop what you are doing she starts nibbling harder. If that doesn't work she pees right in front of you and you can almost hear her saying "I told you had to go."

I've just tbought of another...Bella will "talk" when she sees something she wants but can't get to.

[My baby Milo]

Milo will pee on his pad and then scratch his feet on the rug in the hall. He also will scratch his feet on the rug when he wants to go out. Sometimes he does this so hard I think he is going to pull his toe nails out. It's so funny to watch him.

At night when we go to bed he will get in bed with us and if we are laying close to each other he can't stand it. He will walk on top of us and just look at us like are you not going to let me in the middle. Sometimes he will just lay on top of us untill we scoot over. He has to sleep in the middle of us.

Fletch barks and barks incessantly when Im talking to someone else to get my attention. He'll talk almost if I ignore the barking too. It's crazy. Dexter does circles and whines if he needs to go out, also if I make any movement at all when he has to go out, he'll run to the door so it's quite clear to me he has to go.

ahhh, here's a Yorkie-ism you'll ALL resemble

Tuffy sleeps in the crook of my arm every night & every night he lets out a huge sigh. It always makes me think of that poem that's circulated for a few years; Puppy Size.
