Paws for Attention

On Saturday I took Beaureguard over to my parent's house to play with the Springer Spaniel (his best friend). They were running like crazy, Beau chasing Daisy all around the yard, when Daisy jumps a ditch. Beau tries to follow her, but he doesn't quite make it. He comes up limping, holding his right front paw up like he's been hurt. I'm only a few feet away so he limps over to me and holds up that paw like he wants me to "kiss it better". So, I do. I hug & kiss him and just generally make a big fuss over him for a minute. Then, he hops up and runs off chasing Daisy, who has circled back to see what's keeping him. My Mom says "He's such a baby doll! He just wanted some attention from his mommy." Silly boy!! :wink:

Clyde does the same thing! Same paw too! He and Lucy play fight a lot and 99% of the time, he's the instigator. On the few occasions that Lucy gives him a good whack or push, he acts like he has an old war injury that suddenly flares up. He won't go back to playing until a medic (me or my boyfriend) checks him out and gives him approval that he's fine. Then, once we hug him and tell him he's fine, he bounces right back to Lucy to play again--no limp in sight. My boyfriend said he learned it from watching me ;)
Rosco starts ALL the trouble by jumping around, on & off the sofa ,etc. His favorite time to do this is when the others are trying to sleep.. Needless to say Rosco gets his butt kicked on a regular basis(mostly by Daisy his younger sister) Each time he yelps and limps away like he's mortally wounded but 5 minutes later he's back at it.
