OMG Larry.... I do the same thing with my youngest, McCoy. Not in bed......Because our boys are not furniture dogs! LOL
My latest touchy thing, which McCoy loves, is a take on the "nose stealing" thing my dad would used to do when I was a kid. Pretend to take off your nose and show it to you (his thumb) and then put it back on.
I do this with McCoy when he is being annoying. I ask him to come over and then I tell him I am going to take/turn his nose off. So I pretend to (gently) "unscrew" his nose, put "it" in my pocket and then put it back on. It is so much fun for him that whe I say: Enough..... I am taking your nose off! He comes over and sits right in front of me so we can play the "No nose" game. Dobermans are so effing weird .....
John
Edit to say; I think ear rubbing is his favorite. Probably based in all the great attention he received during posting.
OMG is right John - we are so much alike / and even dates back to our child hood:
Thks for sharing McCoy nice story / this uniqueness, sure makes him special.
My Dad use to steal my nose to & my brothers.
- take it off, and stick the end of his thumb between his index & next finger
- and say: 'there it is / I got your nose" and then put my nose back on
I forgot, but I use to pull Amy's nose off (like that).
- I also would play "
this little piggy" and sing the nursery rime playing with Amy toes
- when she wanted kisses & belly rubs, on her love seat @ bed time
When I turned 16 and got my car license, I would never ask mom for the family car.
- growing up / her favorite word was
NO, all her life
So I would walk over to Dad, rub his ear lobe & get the car keys / worked every time.
- he always had a big smile for me / and this would piss off mother, which was just as much fun for us to watch
