Don’t worry no phone number left her for hubby, I hate feet and can’t stand other peoples or people touching mine. A funny overshare (well i think it’s funny!). I had an ex (not ‘the ex’, a pre ‘the ex’ ex) who once when we were in bed decided it would be romantic to suck my toes – I very nearly kicked him in the face. The whole time he was thinking ‘how romantic’ i was thinking ‘eugh, get off me’ when he then went to kiss me I pushed him away and that ended that night of passion!!

We also play one where I cover them with a blanket and they try to find me as I dance around them. They love it!

Oops. We’ve had some very sweet moments over shared dinner, and he never begs if I have something he can’t eat. Take that, rules.

He jumps up first and curls into the back while I sit on a fraction of the chair and he rests his head on the arm while I rock. It’s so sad – I’m a doodle recliner rocker – hummmmm

One thing all of our dogs have in common is that they love kisses, hugs, and belly rubs.

We love giving them.

I also leave the napping to my hubby though…if I sleep in the middle of the day it just makes me more tired.
It took me a while to get Sheba to enjoy being brushed. She’ll still kind of stiffen up when I come to her with the brush but then she remembers it’s a good thing. Her brother Moses used to love it, but Sheba gets fidgety….though less so now.
When you have multiple dogs, those individual walks really do mean a lot to them, and I enjoy spending alone time with each of them as well.

I love that you have embraced the dog trick as it really can be so much fun. The best feeling ever as you watch that light shine in your dog’s eyes when she begins to understand what you are asking.

It all comes down to time and attention, doesn’t it? Dogs don’t ask for much other than to be with us, whatever we are doing. Even my super independent husky growing up was happier when we were with her. She may have preferred playing by herself but only if we were there to watch.

Thank you for sharing more of your lovely insights. 🙂

We know the words and also know if she says it, they are there. We do nose work, tons of fun walks, just hang out. I think we are well bonded.
