What does your Yorkie do to get your attention? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

alaskayorkie · 06-16-2007, 01:29 PM

Eddie
1. Sits and stares with those big adorable eyes until I cave in.
2. Adds a little yelp every minute.
3. Walks around with a toy, daring me to get it.
4. Drops the toy in front of me.
5. In desperation, he starts chewing on my pants leg.

Jack
1. Walks up and rubs against my legs.
2. Barks loudly
3. As soon as I look at him, he turns around and backs into me like he expects me to pick him up.

Hokule'a · 06-16-2007, 01:34 PM

Hoku:

1. Jumps up and paws at my legs
2. Barks sharply
3. Takes her frustration out on her brother till I have to intervene

Kalani:

1. Sits at my feet and stares at me
2. Whines till I look down at him and then backs up to be picked up

my2boyz · 06-16-2007, 01:45 PM

Joey:

1. Either stands with one of his back feet on my foot or he will sit on my feet.

2. As soon as I ask him what he wants he backs up and looks up at me to pick him up.

Riley:

1. If he's on my lap he will gently paw my arm until I pat him.

2. If he's on the floor he will either paw my leg to be picked up or he'll stand next to me and make this little 'erf' sound every few seconds until I pick him up...hence his nic-name 'Erfel'. Once he gets my attention he circles around and backs up to be picked up.

Conner will:

Hit my leg with a toy

Hit my leg with his paw

Bite my pants legs

Bite my shoes

alaskayorkie · 06-16-2007, 01:53 PM

LOL, these little guys can be so demanding!

Suzy · 06-16-2007, 01:58 PM

Emma:

1. Comes up on the couch, lays down next to you, and rolls over on her back with a big "sigh!" to get us to rub her belly
2. Stands on our chests while sleeping and licks our faces
3. Follows us, and then does this quick circular dance which means "Follow me!"
4. When we come in from being gone, she knows we won't "greet" her until she calms down because she's SO excited when we get home. She will do her happy dance, and then sit down so pretty with her big brown puppy eyes looking up at us! What's not to love!
5. She "smiles" when she wants food. It's very weird, but we SWEAR she can smile!

Milli:
1. JUMPS on us and licks us to death (we're working on this one!)
2. Whines just a little whine, to let us know she's there and she wants attention
3. When jealous that Emma's getting attention, she lets out a great big "ROOO-ROOOOOOOO!" (my husband's favorite!)

Tilly lifts up one paw just like a pointer dog and stares at me while adding the head tilt. So cute

RowdysMom · 06-16-2007, 02:18 PM

Rowdy rears up on the chair where I am sitting and paws gently at my leg. Then if that doesn't do the trick he softly does the rrrrrrr sound about every 20 seconds - he doesn't bark until I look at him and say, "What do you want?" Then he lets out a little yip.

Rexy just sits and stars at me with those big brown eyes.

Both of them will turn around with their butts to me if they think that I am going to pick them up - which I usually do

sweetestkiwi · 06-16-2007, 03:08 PM

Kiwi continuously paws at you on your arm or face or she will roll on her back and wiggle around onher back-needless to say, she always gets what she wants-we think it is so adorable.

judyeve · 06-16-2007, 03:24 PM

Max starts out by looking at me with that head tilt. Then he goes to get a toy and rubs it on me. He tries several toys to try to entice me. If he really wants attention, he'll start pawing my leg.

After dinner, he starts pacing because he has decided that it's time for us to go on the couch so that we can play, he can rest, chew his bully sticks, play the "cookie game," or nap. Since we eat at around 6:00, I think beginning my evening on the couch at 6:30 -7:00 is way too early! He then falls asleep right near me until he guilts me into going inside. He's like a husband!

sweetr72 · 06-16-2007, 03:30 PM

Reece stares at me and if I dare look his way...he lets out a low rumble and then a bark...and then he "talks" to me until I pay him attention!! It really does sound as though hes talking though...strangest little sounds!!

MyFairLacy · 06-16-2007, 03:37 PM

Lacy:

1. Nudges me with her nose
2. Starts pawing at my legs almost like she is stretching
3. If those don't work, she pushes off of my legs with her front paws and barks

Scruffles4Ever · 06-16-2007, 03:47 PM

Scruffles:

Picks his Booda Alligator puffer ball up and nudges it into my leg with his nose. Then, he continues to do it again and again until I notice him and throw the ball.

Sometimes he simply stares at the ball and then turns his eyes on me. He repeats this ritual over and over again until I finally throw the ball.

It's really quite funny.

Sadie's Mom · 06-16-2007, 05:22 PM

Sadie will:

1) paw my arm until I do what she wants

2) Scratch my couch which she knows gets her in instant trouble

3) throw a temper tantrum (kicking her feet out)

iloveemmy · 06-16-2007, 05:51 PM
