My puppy (who isn't really a puppy, he's like 80 in dog years) has gotten into the habit of hitting me with his paw when he wants attention.

Looks devilish, doesn't he? He's a twelve year old Norwegian Elkhound. Now, would you want this dog to hit you with his paw every time he feels that his ear needs scratching? *sigh* I'm afraid he's going to give me a concussion one day. >.<
He's such a spoiled brat. He'll give off all the cues that he wants to go out, and my mom will go down to the door with his leash and call him down, but he will just sit his fat butt down at the top of the stairs and won't move an inch until I get up from my very comfortable chair to take him out. Then he bolts right out the door. *head desk*
But he is my sweetheart, so I put up with his antics because I love him (the punk).
(Also, that's my mom in the background. :D)
btw, his eyes totes glow like that in real life, no lie.
