Why does my dog tease me?
If I ignore her, she'll put her head on my lap - until I reach for the toy, then she'll move away. She never GIVES me the toy - I always have to TAKE it. When I reach for it, she moves away again.

When I get it and throw it for her, she'll bring it back & do the same thing.

5. She loves me anyway! She has enough hair for both of us.
It's on the carpet. In the kitchen. In the dining room. In the bathroom....

3. She's showing you who's smarter.
Try not to take it personally!

4. Sometimes I think my little "girl" is not just a "tease," but a sadist..!

She loves to position herself at my feet when I have to pull an "all-nighter," and the more tired I become, the louder she snores, and sighs contentedly!

6. My dog does that too
With a tennis ball (it's the only toy she likes). She'll bring it to me and set it down right in front of me. Then if I try to grab it she quickly snatches it up and runs away growling. If I'm too fast and I get the ball first she bites me. It's her favorite game.
