Sharon Carroll asked:
<Barkley likes to lay on us near our head, neck or chest when we're laying
in bed.  And, he licks our ears, our necks, face.  Is that a form of
cleaning or affection?  Or both?  He also likes to lay half of his body on
our head.  Is that some domination thing?>

Sharon,

I've had many people tell me that the "laying his body on your head" is a
dominance thing.  I mentioned something about that to a behaviorist one
time, and she looked at me like I was crazy.  Madeleine does all of the
above that you're describing, and she knows I'm boss.  :o)
