Question

When ever I'm standing doing something or just standing she comes and stands between my legs and will just stand there also if I'm setting down she will come and nuzzle her head in beside my leg and the chair and just stand there. Is this normal BT stuff?

Well, from what I see, Kenzie does that a lot as well. She will sit at my feet or lay.

Leslie

Mine sit at my feet when I do dishes go ti the bathroom ect they just love you and want to be close!!!

Stoges_mom

Stoeger does the same, he will sit on my feet while I do dishes and sometimes stick his head in the shower!

Maya will do the same. Especially when I'm in the kitchen cooking. And Leslie is correct. The fact that bullies crave human contact and affection cannot be understated. And of course, we all go to great lengths to answer their need.

Boyda

This is normal, they are constantly glued to my feet!

sally62

Yes she pokes her nose in the shower also! Lol.

Absolutely all EBT behaviour.... The thing Marco loves the most is to come into the bathroom in the morning and when I shave he curls up BETWEEN the counter and my legs on the bath mat and snuggles there. When I shower he lies on the bath mat outside the shower 'til I'm done... Isabella will only come into the bathroom if my wife's there, and lie as close to her legs as possible... When my wife showers she will always go in and shower unless she's restrained to stay out.... We normally just let her go ahead and shower then push her out onto the patio to dry.

Leslie

Dirty Doggy peepers lol!!!!! Cute!!!

ZoE insist on licking all the time how can I get her to stop. I know it's a sign of affection but this is just out of control! Also I have been pinning her on her side when she is being a bully to our little female Shitzu but it doesn't seem to do any good...however it has work as far as her bullying our male. Any ideas?

Xtracho

Maya will give those bullie kisses(licking) as well. I don't correct it...kind of like it to be honest. But when it's enough and to excess I just set her down on the floor and she goes on about her business (usually looking for someone else in the house to kiss).

Boyda

If she is excessively licking, it could be a sign of anxiety. Try to exercise her a bit more.

.... Or just don't taste so darn good.

Lucian does the same thing with my son. Karamel does with daughter, Izzabell does with youngest and Isis does with my wife.  They don't do it with anyone else but them.  Taking ownership I guess.

That's so funny that each of your dogs picks one person.  Could it be submitting to the person they think is the alpha or finding a person that isn't already "taken"? 

philsergeant

Taking ownership is the apparent answer... Exclusivity, I'm not sure... Marco wants to (own) lick everyone, including his sister, but Isabella only regularly licks my wife.... So I guess it's a matter of taste!

Boyda

They like to savor the flavor of their favorites I guess!

exiled

"Savor the flavor of their favorites" lol!

sally62

Hahahahaha! Well I'll try not to taste so good! Savor the flavor...haven't heard that in years!!! I will try exercising her more! Thanks so much!

I love when she sticks her little head into the shower! I am imagining all the little egg heads just poking around. Aw
