This is his 100% “look ma, no hands gopher”

When Arlo really wants to get my attention, he either sneezes at me, or he does what I call “the gopher”. He sit-stands on just his hind legs and then paws at me. In this instance, he gophered and pawed at me, while I was trying to update JP Dogs no less! I’m all “Arlo, I know you want mama to play with you but mama’s gotta make (no) money by working on her blog”. He was nonplussed. Click through to see the full-gopher-cycle…

Then when the “look ma, no hands” doesn’t work, he starts the laying on of paws.

And finally he gets so disgusted with me, that he won’t even look at me
