Does your dog just sit there and sigh?

Question

When you're not paying attention to it or does it wack you to get your attention? What other things does it do when it wants your attention??

Answer 1

my dog sighs, too, when he wants attention. When he wants attention from my grandpa, he'll go over to him and try to get in his lap. The problem with that is he's about 90 pounds. Other times, if he wants attention from me, he'll keep looking at me from wherever he's laying or sitting.  

Answer 2

My dog sleeps ALL DAY LONG. Then when we all sit down to watch TV he comes in squeaking his LOUDEST squeaky toy and drops it by your feet. Then if that doesn't work, he'll drop up onto the back of the couch and walk around it and drop the toy onto you. And if you still don't do anything, he will jump on top of you and retrieve the toy and squeak it in your face (blocking the TV) and he'll do that until you throw the toy. If wants to be scratched, he'll come up to you and whine and kind of like growl, and he'll jump around and roll, then he'll walk up to you and nudge your hand and l**k you until you pet him. And if you ignoe him, he goes adn sits in front of you and whines or he lays down on the back of the couch and heavily sighs.

Milly will l**k my leg, or if I've got bare feet then she licks and nibbles my toes, she got a thing about toes!

Amy will get her ball and throw it at me, or she just sits and stares and stamps her feet, if there was an olympic staring event she'd win gold.

Answer 4

If I'm not paying attention, he just barrels through whatever I have in my hand (usually when I'm trying to read) and gets on my lap and looks me in the face really close up and looks like he's going "loooook at meeeee, loooook at meeeeee!"

He doesn't have a subtle bone in his little body.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

My dog (pomer mix) will just lay on my lap and look at me with these big glassy eyes. I swear she is such an actress!! if a stranger came into my home they would think she hadn't seen food for weeks! she is just asking for a pet or to go for a walk but i swear she is so convincing! Do you ever try to do it back to her when she is sleeping? My dog gets so mad at me she will get up and go sleep in the other room. How dare I disturb her by crying in her face. ahh us dog lovers are such saps.

Answer 10

Lillian? Not getting attention? That doesn't happen.

But she has only a stump of a tail, so there's no whacking. There's her Lily Language. The kind where she fakes a *noisy* yawn to let me know she's needing for attention.

Answer 11

lol one of mine sighs too, it's too funny. She'll also just sit right in front of me and stares at me...I'm thinking her face will turn into a question mark lol, when I ask her what do you want she'll c**k her head like I'm the one that's lost...haha.

Answer 12

When my dogs wants to get my attention, he will whine, come put is head on my me if i am sitting or he will lay down and sigh and put his face into the floor.

Answer 13

I have a pug that will sit in front of me and stare a hole thru me if I am in my recliner and don't have the foot rest up!  Telling me "mom!  put that thing up, I wanna lay with you!"  She also will jump up on my chair, walk right up on my chest and pant real hard in my face till I rub her belly...then she snorts with pleasure!!

I have a cocker spaniel who will walk up and just lay her chin on the edge of my chair and stare at me till I either say something to her..or reach to pet her.   If I'm walking thru the house..she will jump up and grab my hand, very very lightly with her mouth...doesn't hurt..just enough to get my attention!

I have a beagle that will make it a point to lay right under my feet, no matter what I'm trying to do...cook, clean, whatever..he lays right in the way so I have to give in attention to get him to move!

Answer 14

No he doesn't sigh when he wants my attention. He sighs when he's comfortable on my lap.  He barks and jumps when he wants my attention....like when I get on the phone.  He will be the perfect dog all day and then just let the phone ring.  As soon as I sit down, he starts jumping and squeaking and barking and trying to mouth my arm.  Crazy mutt.....but I love him.

Answer 15

Mine just stares at me until I look at her then she takes one step forward and continues to stare.  Other times she'll go and lie down by the door if I don't respond then she'll come up and sit and stare at me.  I've heard her sigh if I'm not paying attention too.

Answer 16

When my dog wants to sit in my lap while I'm at my computer, he'll come over, jump up right inbetween my legs and stares at me. He'll scratch my leg (ouch!) until I look at him. If I don't look at him, he'll continue to scratch and stare. If I still ignore him, he'll go lay down and pout about it until I go over to him, pick him up, and put him in my lap.

Other times, he'll stand in the hallway outside my bedroom door. He'll just stare at me and put his head low to the ground. If I ignore him long enough, he walks away. If I call him in here, he doesn't move. If I go out to get him, he starts running away so that I'll chase him around the house. He thinks it's fun.

:] Ah! As much of a pain as our dogs may be, we just have to love them to bits and pieces, don't we?
