What does your dog do

[Mrs Wildthing]

That makes you melt inside?

Tipyn is a typical lockdown dog and is attached to me by Velcro. He loves to have a lap to sit on and a blanket to hide under.

If I have been out he gets so excited when I get home and as soon as sit down he is on my lap and squeaking for a blanket and he settles down. But every 20 minutes or so he will shoot out and push his face against mine until I rearrange things so I am cuddling him with one hand and scratching his chest with the other. If I'm home all day he doesn't do it, only if I have been out. It is as though he needs to reassure himself it really is my lap he is sitting on. I love it!

The photo is after I went away for 2 nights without his permission!

Somehow missed this post

Alice is such a hooligan that she is more likely to exasperate me than make my heart melt! But sometimes, towards the end of the day, she will insist on sitting on my lap and pressing right into me, pressing her head right into my neck and just looking at me - that's whan I realise a real bond has grown up between us

The other thing that I do, which I love, is the way she loves people. She often seems to understand when people need love and is happy to be cuddled by people we meet in wheelchairs or grieving the loss of their own dogs. One person with a severely paralysed arm loves her to bits and she will sit in the crook of the affected arm and kiss and kiss him. I haven't had a dog so sensitive to and willing to meet human need since my GSD, who was a PAT dog, about 30yrs ago
