Mind You, This Is After An Hour Of Wrestling, Fetch, Yard Time, And Peanut Butter Filled Bones

Do you ever sit at your desk and get the feeling like you're being watched?

Yeah, sometimes I get that feeling, too.

The dogs look like they're ready for more fun with Mommy.

[Manic Mommy]

They are sooo looking for some Mommy Love from you! My kids do this to me sometimes. In fact, Ajers just said to me: Mom, you know what would be a fun fact? To figure out how many hours you spend in front of the computer?!?!? If only he knew I spent all day until 1:00 p.m. asleep in my bed TODAY!

[cynmothorn]

It made my day to check your website and see new stuff....and on top of that...your awesome dogs! Yay, Jen! You made me smile at the end of one of those days that suck so much you feel like an empty lick stick!

[Casey's Mom]

What sweet widdle puppies! Yes they are! Yes they are! I refuse to be embarrassed. :D

[Soren]

I love my 2 greyhounds, but they don't have enough energy, even combined, to stay awake long enough to look at me like that... I have to bribe one of them to wake up for breakfast for pete's sake!
You can say "walk" all day and night, and no reaction... Makes me laugh when people ask if they need a lot of exercise :D
However, I'm convinced they CAN tell time... If I'm working from home, the bigger one comes up at exactly 4pm to let me know it's time for the walk.
And at night, we can move around and get up from the couch all we want, except around 9pm, when they suddenly jump up too.

Jen, your pups are very sweet, and they know they've got a good thing going there with you!

[buttah]

I have two boxers...think bullie only with a squished nose and wrinkled forehead, and a nub for a tail...they both stay up my arse while I'm cooking in the kitchen. I practically trip over them if I'm not careful! They also love to "bribe" my little one out of his food too! Who can resist those eyes?

When I was pregnant, my female who is such a spaz, still had the habit of jumping up on me. My male, who is much older and was my first "child", would get between me and her and not let her jump on me! He was so protective the whole time, and now they love their "little brother" and smother him with kisses every chance they get!

[goodfather]

Ha ha! Awesome.

[Momo Fali]

Yes, but my desk chair is an oversized Kong toy with tennis ball footrests.

[sara]

Mine like to watch me cook. Sometimes I feel like I should narrate like I'm hosting a cooking show.

[Erin]

Yes! And usually after 10 minutes of trying to "ignore" her I get barked at and then pawed to death until I have to give her a hug and a few minutes of petting. Sometimes she turns into a mountain climber and makes it into my lap. She has a strange curiosity with my keyboard that she has to investigate, like something exciting is going on up there that she may possibly be missing.

[Jenn F]

Adorable.

"Helllloooo? What could you possibly be doing that doesn't include me?"

I admit we have cats rather than dogs but it's amazing how pets can tell you they want something.

Our one cat MacKinnley will come and lay down on the computer keyboard while you try to type or on the newspaper you're trying to read when he wants a cuddle.

[Heidi]

My sister's dog does that two. Only she'll add a small, polite, "Woof," every few seconds. I think it translates to, "Excuse me. Excuse me. Down here. Excuse me..."

[Ani K. O.]

Good to know I'm not the only one with a neurotic pet (or the only one who spoils it for that matter).

My husky, Kona, hates it when I'm on the computer and will put her head under my hands and shove them up and off the keyboard.

So precious...

[katyinmd]

As I sit here, my mini daschund is staring at me with sad eyes and whining. My graduate school applications will never get done with that cute face staring at me!

[Maureen]

I can haz book deal, too?

[Melanie]

I have a Jack Russell mix who is in a constant territory battle with one of my cats (I'm the territory). Sometimes they get annoying with their constant neediness, but it's so nice to get home to someone that's always excited to see you after having a bad day! :)

[Karina in T.O]

They're so damn cute!! I wish I lived in Chi-town - I'd be so down with pet sitting duty for your brood.

My one cat gives my hubby what I refer to as the "Nancy eyes", you know? That look of complete love Nancy Reagan always gave to her Ronnie? I swear, that cat is in love with Kirk....

[Kelly]

Oh, they make me want to come through the monitor and give them a big kiss.

[Molly]

They are so supportive! Looks like they are also saying, "Huhnnhhh? We aren't finished yet! Please let's rumble a little more! Pant, pant, wag, wag!"
Totally orchestrated. They have to know how great they are...or they do now from all the adoring comments.

[Amanda]

haha, wow. Thats definately the stink eye!

[Lauren]

So sweet! Their little faces make me want to pet them to death!

[jonniker]

HAAA. Mine can smell peanut butter from two houses down, I swear.

[Karen Mc in Dallas]

Sooooo cute!!!!! Love those puppy faces! More pics of the cats though, please......

[zandor]

Aww. That pictures makes me miss my dogs. Being away at school sucks in that way. I will see them tomorrow though so yay!

[AJMick]

I have a cat who follows me everywhere, even into the bathroom where she then sometimes wants to sit on my lap while I do my business. Yep, that's right... try to *go* with a cat on your lap... it's a battle. I also have horrible posture and at times a sore back because I can't put my laptop on my lap since there's already one or two cats there... but they love me unconditionally and they're totally worth it!

[Sheila]

I hear you. Right now, a black Lab is lying down with her head between her front paws, staring at me with wounded eyes (why? Because Mommy is typing on the evil laptop instead of rubbing her belly) and SIGHING. That's right, she actually SIGHS when I tell her to do something or don't give her my undivided attention. You talk about babies - I'm living with a bratty teenager in dog form.

But I love her to pieces though. She's so cute.

[dodim]

It's only cuz you were on Oprah. They're your Puparazzi!

[Lori]

TOTALLY KNOW THE FEELING!!! Our pittie is the biggest offender of this!!

[Amy Risner]

awwwwww how cute. You're lucky you have dogs that stare at you. All I'm stuck with is this thing staring at me all the time: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_at7Nq1cETg0/SOEsMFJWQCI/AAAAAAAAAK0/KMijpvdHq2w/s1600-h/photo-12.jpg

sigh.

[msmickey]

My neurotic, terrorista shih-tzu is soooo nuts he won't even let my husband sit next to me. He stares me into submission or pushes his rawhide strip against my shin until a layer of skin is skillfully removed. He has an underbite and maloccluded bottom teeth and eyes that do not go in the same direction.

One of my dogs likes to be in the bathroom sometimes. What's creepy is, if I've just taken a shower, she WATCHES me when you step out. Seriously, it's like she takes special interest because I'm naked! CREEPY!

[amy]

You always talk about Maisy being "ugly". I think she's ADORABLE!!

[Leslie]

I wanted to scream doggie napper. Loki looks just like my Bogart. I have three dogs that will NOT let me go to the bathroom alone. Potty Audience. Blah....

[Megan]

What I love is trying to read a book and having a large doggie head lay on top of the pages...not cool Jen, not cool - pretty adorable the first hundred or so times though...just like Maisy & Loki!

[Terri D.]

Awww... They just want Mommy to give them some love...

Beautiful dogs!

[Sarah]

ok..so I have two PUGS. I can barely type right now because they both insist on laying on me and snoring..And snarfing with their Halloween bandanas. I would take a pic, but then where would they sleep?? Perhaps their DOG BED!?!?!

[Cheryl]

I wish I could teach my cats to sit on the floor and stare instead of having 2 furry meatloaves sprawled on my desk/laptop.

[paula]

I feel the same way sometimes only add in three boys standing behind them! I just love when they don't want you to type and keep nudging your hands or arms away from the keyboard...that goes for kids and dogs!

[Alias Mother]

This? This right here? Is exactly why I don't work at home anymore.

[iidlyyckma]

Just wait until your dogs see you having sex. I was never the same.

[Stacy]

That's hysterical - your dogs are super cute! My dog likes to line up all of his toys, and THEN stare at me. Like, oh mommy, lets play ball. Oh, no ball? What about tug of war with my rope?

[Amanda]

I love how they both have same crooked posture when they sit. With their right hind paws between the front two paws! Synchronized cute!

[valerie]

my two dogs sit and watch me when i'm taking a bath - it's not very relaxing to take a bath with a pug audience. your dogs are adorable and i very much enjoyed the witty women writers night!

[stephi.walters]

Mine won't even let me go to the bathroom alone. They try to figure out where is goes. The terrier will even dig at the base of the toilet.

[Jeannine]

Holy crap Maisy is aDORable!

[jenn-with-an-extra-n]

I have 4 dogs so usually two are staring at me and the other two are fighting for my lap, annoyingly sweet ha!

[Legallyblonde]

I wish I could say yes, but mine resort to the wanton destruction of rugs and furniture instead when attention is diverted from them for five seconds. Similar to an old college boyfriend of mine, actually, but the Pugs are better looking.
