Diva Dog

Diamond, or as she has come to be more affectionately known, Attention Whore, is so clearly D's dog but when I come home after an extended absence, she yips, yaps, skips, sprints and slides through two rooms with unbridled glee. An area rug has been planned for the living room for some time now, and I'm getting one, except now, I think I might miss her slide shows.
After she's run the gamut she crashes herself into my ankles. I reach down to pet her and she wiggles and waggles towards flipping over on her back, offering up her belly. Having her belly rubbed ranks high on the pleasure meter for diva dog, AW. Oh, don't get me wrong, D gets the same greeting, only times 12.

Diamond craves the touch. She wants her belly rubbed, head stroked and back scratched perpetually. Should the rubbing, stroking or scratching cease without her permission, she nudges her head into your hand until it resumes. When she is not clamoring for attention, she's assaulting playing with Pete the cat, or eating. When she's not doing any of those things, she is simply following D (or me) around--everywhere. Or snoring sleeping at D's (sometimes my) feet.
The Diva Diamond, AW has skittered her way right to the top of our little heap.

  4. A question: How long did it take to get Diva Dog trained? I am only asking because Socks, our puppy has been with us for three weeks and he is only now just starting to get that he needs to go OUTSIDE.

    I am beginning to wonder if he is very slow witted...

  5. Okay, okay, I get it...you need to distract yourself from your baby by talking about your pets. Don't think about sex. Don't. Think about pets. Pets.

  7. Maria--diva dog is nearly 6 and came to us pretty well trained. There are some behaviors we're working out of her--she responds well to a regular routine. Much luck to you all with Socks.
