“Scratch under my chin.”

Norman made the mistake of not paying attention to Scooter.

Norman, read my mind. It’s dinnertime somewhere.

Belly skritches, please!

Scooter just might be a little peeved.

Norman was looking for a replacement back seat to the ’56 Nash he was restoring.

That is exactly what my daughter’s dog does to me, and in case I didn’t get the Skritches Please message she licks me until I give in.

It’s a multiple choice:

A) Feed me.

B) Pay attention to me.

C) Skritch my tummy.

D) All of the above.

E) Let me distract you so you won’t swat me with the newspaper I chewed up.

Scooter tries the cat method for attention.

Can you let me out….have to goooooo Woof

Scooter knows his audience. Norman will give in. He always does.

Good to see that I’m not the only one.

Good thing Scooter is not modest..

There’s an article in “Police Beat” that Scooter doesn’t want him to see…

“Just checking in to let you know I love you. Now rub my tummy & scratch my itch.”

Tiffany, my calico, used to do the same thing. R.I.P.

Poochie wants a smoochie!!!!!!!!!!! :)

BTW I think this dog is too small and too loving to be Scooter. Maybe Daisy.

Norman is the real sweetheart. Who can resist that pose?

Next up: The air horn!

yuck they lick their own bum

My pup is currently wedged between my chair and my computer desk, begging for more loving.

If you want the best seat in the house you’re going to have to move the dog.

Scooter/Daisy wants you to know that he/she loves you, Norman. And you are ignoring him/her.
