Me vs. the mini poodle

[Nazgul Girl]

Me vs. the mini poodle. So I'm laying on the bed next to DH, who is out like a light and snoring gently, with the poodle between us. I am eating a cherry. The poodle wants the cherry ( don't ask me, but DH feeds her fruit once in awhile, except for grapes, and she likes fruit ). I tell her that she can't have the cherry. She fixes me with her gaze. And fixes me with her gaze. And fixes me with her gaze, her head on her paws.....

After a century or so, I inform her that I will give her a dog bone ( actually, a special treat for dental health ) if she will go out and pee. She perks up, so I lift her from the bed, and put her outside to empty out. When she comes back in, she gets the bone. Then, I put her back up on the bed and go back to reading the Kindle. She fixes me with her gaze again. I ask her "What?!" She keeps looking at me. I say, " Do you want some cheese ? " Cheese is her favorite thing in the whole world,besides DH and walks. I get her a little cheese. She eats the cheese, tiny piece by tiny piece. She then licks my fingers, because they taste like cheese. I pet her head, since she likes that.

Then, after going outside, getting a dog bone ,and getting fed delicious cheese plus getting her head rubbed and licking my fingers, she puts her head (which is smaller than my hand ) on her paws again, and gazes at me. And gazes at me. And gazes at me.
It's a good thing she doesn't have opposable thumbs. She's already one poodle hair short of being a dangerous provocateur.

I have one dog that does that. The staring thing. But she likes to add a "waroof?" Half whine/half growl. I swear she would be a perfect candidate for a dog/human communication device as I think she is trying to talk. She will continue to stare and make that noise. It is super annoying.

Only problem is - sometimes she does it because she is bored. And other times she does it because she really does have to pee outside. So I have learned I cannot ignore it. I can only ignore it if I know for a fact she is empty. 

When I was taking them to training, the trainer said you should train them to have an emergency come. You use a word that you would never use and only use it for them to come to you immediately in an emergency. Ideally of course a dog would come when you said come, but we all know we wear that word out. The emergency word works 100% for one of my dogs. The others need more work. Anyway, now unfortunately the word that works the best to get them to come is "foods". They have trained me well.
