    I-doggers, does your dog do this??

    Does your dog climb into your lap when you're on the computer??
     
    Tyson does it all.the.time!

    Max tries to, or when he gets a bone, he puts the bone in my lap and chews it there.

    Bailey sits by me and stares, then tries to make herself comfy underneath the chair, moves around a bunch, gets up and puts her head in my lap, I move the chair out at which point she thinks about it and realizes she has no room, contemplates what to do looking frustrated that she cant fit, then goes back under to lay and move around again...  this will go on and on until I go get her a blanket and put it by my chair.[:)]
     
    The few times she has decided to jump up she sits there all awkward like she doesnt know what to do with herself after that b/c she cant fit lol.

    No. Ella simply lays next to me, on the floor, with her bad cuz ball hanging out of her mouth. If she's not annoying me by biting it and making it squeak, then she's usually fast asleep.
    She just ate so she's SPRAWLED out on her side, passed out.

    But, I'm sure whatever Tyson is doing is cute, because he's SO cute.
    Oh, and I don't believe he could EVER do ANYTHING wrong.

    Well, Tyson stands on his hind legs, and puts his front legs on my lap, then proceeds to lick my face, stare at me, etc.  Obviously he can't really fit in my lap....
    Its really funny....
     
    You know, as a side note to this, (and I know Cesar is no good) but I once saw on the dog whisperer that "standing" in your lap like that is dominant behavior, and shouldn't be allowed.  He stated that it was not love, simply the dog trying to be in charge.
    Is there truth in this?
    I really don't think that Tyson is trying to control me, but maybe I just want to believe that he is curious about whats going on/wanting to be near me, lick me, etc.

    Yes, my chihuahuas do that!  I have a laptop and do actually hold it on my lap when I am on.  Gemini insists on laying between me and the laptop so I can barely type.  I think she doesnt like that I am attentioning my computer instead of her.  LOL.  My puppies are SPOILED!!!

    LOL.... well, I came home the other day to some of my shoes chewed (bf was down, but couldn't fit the crate in the car with all the stuff he was moving -- and we went out to dinner...)
    So you tell me, do you still believe he can't do anything wrong??  (It was really my fault to leave the closet door open.... but the room was really a huge mess in addition to the shoes!)

    going by that, Alieliza, licking is a sign of submission.
    So, if standing on you is a sign of dominance and then when he licks you it's a sign of submission, well then, I'd say you have a well balanced boy!

    oh my goodness, he is (one of) the biggest lickers I have ever met!   He loves to "give kisses".
    • Gold Top Dog
    AW!
    Ella gives kisses when I feed her.
    AND she licks my legs after I shave and rubs her cheeks on them.
    I think she likes the Vitamin E lotion I use.

    I think you should post some Tyson pics.

    Does your dog climb into your lap when you're on the computer??


    Uh, yes. That would be why there are keys missing from my laptop keyboard. [8|]

    Nope.  Max can lay on the couch and let half of himself sprawl across my lap, but he won't fit in the computer chair.  He just curls up on the floor as close to the chair as he can get.

    I have one on my lap,2 under my desk,one behind my chair,3 beside the chair and 4 off to the side of thoes.I think i an surrounded.Lets just say i am not afraid that someone is going to sneak upon me while i am at the computer.I am afraid that i will have to go potty and not be able to get out.
    • Gold Top Dog
    Yes, my dog does...and since she weighs a hundred pounds, this is not nearly as cute as it sounds! I think a lot of it is that I tend to check e-mail shortly after getting home, and she thinks that when I get home, it should all be about playing with the dog. Although she accepts that Mommy must work to pay for the kibble, deep down, she really thinks I should be a stay at home Mom.

    The other thing she does is put her paw on the keyboard...repeatedly. I'm pretty sure she's not capable of typing, but it does make you wonder. If she gets her own e-mail address, then I'll worry... : )

    No, she sleeps under my feet under the computer desk, or on a pillow right next to me.

    But every morning I get up and there's all this DOG HAIR in the keyboard....I swear she's surfing the net while I'm asleep!
