Rein digs sometimes, but she's more like your Pablo - having to be under the
blankets and right next to someone. I've heard that chis like to burrow. Must
be.

Referring to weird chichi behavior, does anyone's chi dig before they
lay down and go to sleep? Both of mine dig in the blankets, the couch, the bed,
and act as if they were digging to China! Then then curl up and go to sleep.
Pita actually has to get tucked in her bed with blankets tucked tight under
her, like a pie. Pablo always has to dig and be under the blankets and be right
next to someone. He will not sleep alone, only if he is in hsi crate...

Mindy Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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. :)
