How do you irritate your pup?

I do this too! Whenever chrono yawns I stick my hand in his mouth .

Ditto. I think it pretty much is a given as a cat owner. All of the kitten or cat owners (including myself) that I have ever personally met? We all do this....it is most fun. I sometimes almost expect a Furby-esque 'yauummmmmmm' to emit from their mouth.

Tickle his ears, use a finger and lazily graze his ears....he flicks them and it entertains me for ages...till he gets annoyed, grumbles, stands up moves just out of arm reach from me and plops down again.

I play with his feet (more so so that future vet techs at his vet visit or the groomer's for nail trimming won't have such a hard time), and because he's so sensitive about his feet, he gets a milk bone everytime i mess with them :P

OH....tickle him on his ribs...he wiggles squirms thn takes a half-hearted attempt at nipping my fingers

If Niko gets too far ahead of me on our hikes, I will hide behind a tree. I very rarely pull that move off though, he keeps a close eye on me. He gets a bit worried when he loses me though.

I do this to Titan all the time! He HATES when I blow in his ears. They will flicker and he get all riled up and air snap when I do it then try to lick my face. Haha.

I also do the paw thing when he is sleeping.. It's funny how ticklish dogs are. Lol.

Ok this might be kind of mean of me. But one day we were doing obedience and he stopped paying attention.. he got distracted by every leaf that blew by.. so when he turn his head away from me I poked him and went "BOOOOOP!" really loudly and it scared the you know what out of him. Haha.. he pays attention a lot more now but it's become kinda a game for him when he realizes what I'm doing. If he is walking or playing out side and doesn't seem to notice me.. I'll sneak up on him and "BOOOOP!" he goes bonkers and starts wiggling and wagging his tail like crazy and races around the yard. It cracks me up. Sometimes I will do that while he is sleeping.. not the poking.. just the loud "BOOP!" and he will jerk his head up and stare right at me, he knows it's me, haha his face says it all "Really mom?!"

I play "gotcha tail" with Jäger, and just poke or prod Katya... haven't figured out anything that annoys Aska.

I play with Rocco's paws when he is sleeping on me. I blow in his face (though I have to be careful with that because he'll bite up at me). I smack him on the side of his snout (softly of course) with his toy and pull it away. He goes nuts and jumps and groans grabbing for it. He hates when I wipe his feet at the door after coming in from a walk, though I don't do that to annoy him.

My cats, I love to softly pull at the little hairs between their paw pads when they are sleeping. Their paws twitch and it is so funny. I also like to do it to their ear hairs and whiskers.
