Good luck with that, Charlie! They play video games here a lot, too!! Actually, their XBox is flashing the "red ring of death" right now so they're stuck with the PS2 till they can get the 360 fixed!!:( Just go up to them and give them lots of kisses and look at them like they are neglecting you....they'll stop! What new video game did your Ma get?

Chew the power cord.

My answer for no attention is....bark a lot! Run away when they try to swat you...then bark from the other side of the room! Then, go find their favorite slipper and bring it into the room and start shaking it around, throwing it up in the air, etc.

Charlie - love the name! Mom just got a game called Fate. She's gotten hopelessly hooked. Hoover - I wish I could. She bought a laptop! That being said, I can't even lay in her lap and look sad! Charlie - luckily, mom doesn't swat me, but she has this thing called a bark collar. I DON'T bark in the house, or the collar comes out. I'm a vocal type of guy.

Use your nose effectively...like on the back of her leg or on her feet. Emma uses her nose and puts it under mama's arm while she tries to type. Good luck!
