First of all

First of all, you should know that laci is very smart. She catches on to things very quickly and she knows a ton of tricks.
She also craves attention. If she thinks i'm not giving her enough attention she'll (a) bring me a toy and squeak it/bark until I play with her, (b) ask to go out, (c) tear something up, or (d) jump on me and sit in front of me, blocking the tv. She isn't limited to these options, though, as she thinks of something new every day.
