Cute Story

[ISUBoxer]

Thought you would enjoy this-
I was home on Spring Break from school and had left my Mom to babysit Brinks while I visited some friends. Apparently Brinks decided he wanted to check out the new area. He managed to push his way past my mom as she opened the door to get the mail. This could have been disasterous as Brinks is never outside without a leash, but dont worry this story has a happy ending
My mom said she tried everything to get him back in the house. She offered cheese (his favorite treat), brought out his favorite toys, tried opening the car doors (he loves car rides), nothing worked. He would run up to her just out of her reach and then bolt the other way. Finally my mom brought out their dog Tia to the middle of the yard. She sat down and started petting Tia, saying "Oh Tia your so pretty. Your such a good girl Tia. I love you so much Tia." Out of the corner of her eye she saw Brinks staring at her. She kept up the praise and petting. Slowly but surely Brinks started creeping up until finally he came and sat like a good boy in front of my mom waiting for his praise. LOL He couldnt STAND the fact that he wasnt getting the attention. He could handle not having his favorite treat, toys, or missing out on that car ride...but no way could he tolerate someone else getting more lovin' than him.

haha I love it! These dogs will do anything to be noticed. As soon as they see a human giving another animal more attention its like they say "huh, arent I the one that counts the most?" and they will immediately come to you.

Great story and so true. I can't even hug or kiss my husband without two boxer noses nudging there way in between. If I sit with one dog in my lap it is only a matter of seconds until there is two. I secretly tell both of them they are my favorite LOL

To Funny

I just added a lovebird named Winston to the family. Anytime I talk to Winston or pay him attention, Gregory is right there. He will bounce against me and if I still don't give him attention, he will bark and raise cane. He is such a jealous little booger!!!

That would totally have been my Charlie Paper too! His recall is better than it used to be, but if he decides he doesn't want to come, he pretends like it's a game. It's so funny though cause if I'm petting my boyfriend's dog, Charlie comes over instantly and sits down and all but crawls into my lap for attention. He's totally an attention hog! That's one of the things I love about these animals.
