Aww, thanks for letting me know. I've been trying to think of some kind of a
sling or something that I can make so I don't have to worry about her falling.

I agree too! Rein goes nuts when I come home after being gone even for a very
short while. Another thing that makes me think her licks are kisses is the way
she plays with all of us. When she's playing with my husband, son, or daughter
she plays like she's trying to grab their hands with her mouth - mouth open and
making fun, playful sounds. When she comes over to me though, or if I join in,
I just get lots of kisses, then she runs back to the rest of them and starts
playing again! The kids say she does it 'cause she loves her mommy!</div>
<div> </div> <div>Another thing she does, which I've never seen a dog do
before, is climb up on my shoulders and lay there. She's done it in the car,
but then she has the back of the seat to hold her there. When I'm doing
something or walking around, I have to keep a hand up on her to make sure she
doesn't fall off. Whiles she's up there, if I turn my head and say something
to her, she gives me quick kisses. Has anybody ever had
their Chi do this laying on the shoulders thing? It sure keeps my neck nice
and warm now that it's cold! Mindy

licking us for the taste of food or sweat, BUT my Chi
will not kiss just anyone with food or sweat sticking to them. :) He is very
particular!
The other clue is that he kisses us when he first sees us after a separation
than he does if
we've all been hanging out for a few hours. That suggests it's a greeting.
Dogs have such a rich olfactory life, maybe the scent of a loved human adds
savour to the
delicious junk stuck to our skin. :)
