My dog's not like that. When I broke my ankle on the ice last December, he barked incessantly because I wasn't playing and chasing him in the snow anymore. There I was, laying in the snow, practically sobbing in pain, waiting to get the gumption to haul myself up and get to the house - and there he was irritated that he wasn't getting enough attention. He's a little self-centered. We should have named him Glenn Beck.
