When Hu-Dad is concentrating on his busyness in the study, we resort to sophisticated distraction techniques to get our appropriate level of attention.
Place head in the path of his hand.
Yes, Hu-Dad really does have a trackpad, a Wacom Tablet, and a mouse. Regardless of which one he reaches for, Frankie has strategically placed his head in the path of his hand. Hand touches head – ear scratches commence. Clever, huh?
The stare.
If he continues working or if he is just typing, we have to escalate to the stare. Hu-Dad finds this quite distracting and struggles to maintain concentration.
The paw.
Frankie is now demonstrating level 3. Escalating further is rarely necessary. Let’s face it – even our readers are reduced to pure obedience with that look from Frankie.

Mama Bear crashed through the underbrush, growling and snorting with her eyes locked on her targets—us. Her warning was clear.
Hu-Dad's Novels
His books pay for our food!
You’re missing the head-butt, which works great when type-y or mouse-y things are going on.
Mom sez: The stare, and the paw, together, are just TOO much to resist. Ebby does the exact same thing!
Eddie does the walk-past circle, intending for me to get up and follow him to open a door/refill water/scratch back. If that is insufficient, he also progresses to the paw-on-knee.
The irresistible paw on the leg.
Love me some Frankie!!! Scratch away Hu dad!!!
Frankie I’d be putty in your paws ❤️❤️
Frankie, the Godfather of Paw technique!
