  1. …my Schnauzer is an attention hound, ALL the attention needs to be on HIM. When I come home every day he jumps on me at the door like I just got back from the Battle of Verdun, forcing me to pet him and grabbing my hand with his teeth if I dont. Yesterday, after the daily mauling I went over to kiss my wife and HE got so mad he licked my ear to get me off her when I leaned over, then jumped on HER and licked my kiss off her lips.

    Duke was a rescue, and apparenly wasnt treated very nice before we got him, and I think that affected an already hyper breed of dog pretty sigificantly. Sometimes I may wish hed tone it down a bit, especially when he gets jealous of my wife’s chickens or the Quaker parrot, but it is nice that he expresses gratitude and love for us every day…

  2. @MJA — Yes they are, but so are cats. Our black cat Dixie does the “backflip with only her head” if I stop the knuckle rub or brushing too soon. And our tuxedo orca cat Killer will tap me on the arm if I’m not paying attention. They’re constant companions and I love it! Looks like they do, too.

  3. Our American Maine Coon (cat) Felix has a favorite toy. It is a fuzzy, lime green worm that dangles from a little fishing pole. Once a day, he carries the fuzzy worm to his food bowl and places it inside so it can eat. Felix is a considerate cat.
