I have 2 corn nibblers....cuillin has always done it, its her I love you thing...when I come home from work she corn nibbles me, when she snuggles in on the sofa for a cuddle she will corn nibble me as she cuddles in....does it to my best pal too who she knows really well and really likes...now Brods has started too! They do it to each other when they are sleepy and its cute then but its flippin painfull when they do it to me but I feel guilty stopping them as I know its their affection thing. : I do tho!...anyone elses dogs do,, or have funny wee ways of showing affection?
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! Haha, that's funny. Kind of like monkeys grooming other monkeys. Obi doesn't do it. The ducklings do, but I think they're just seeing if I'm edible.
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! Caddie does it too, but she is incredibly gentle and I don't mind. ;D
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! Charlie is a big nibbler - of ears, hands, feet, arms, legs, button, belts...and he is still incredibly mouthy too - but he is so, so, gentle, never hurts anyone. I've sort of got it on my things to do list to stop...but...I don't really care. He also puts my hand in his mouth and plays a tiny, gentle game of tug with my fingers (my fingers are behind his canine teeth) and does it without hurting my hand. I really should stop this, I think, other people might find it alarming. Although, no one has so far.
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! I thought this was going to be vegetable related.... But no, feet. I hate feet. Particularly the thought of a dog chewing on dead crusty skin!
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! So the Labrador pedicure really wouldn't be a big hit with you, then GreenBull??! Clare
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! Ah I think that's sweet ;D Riley still likes to sit on my lap but that's about it. He's a bit heavy but I love my cuddles.
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! [quote author=GreenBull link=topic=4336.msg52355#msg52355 date=1391592956] I thought this was going to be vegetable related.... But no, feet. I hate feet. Particularly the thought of a dog chewing on dead crusty skin! [/quote] It is vegetable related rather than feet related! We mean nibble like a dog nibbling corn on the cob along your arm.
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! Maybe this is just a woman thing as praise is only coming from one gender at the moment! Off to ask Mrs GreenBulls opinion...
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! Having a good laugh at the alternative interpretation of corn nibbling ;D Yeah, that would be gross, but the human corn cob version is kinda cute
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! Ha ha ;D. Laughing at the alternative Foot Corn Nibbling too....for clarification, its when they are nibbling along one of your body parts like they were eating corn on the cob....Brodick does my arm, thats fine...Cuillin does arms, and also earlobes. Right round them.......earlobes are less fine... . It really is cute, but I am going to have to teach her to do it gently, she knows 'gentle'....
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! No, but Chip sucks my fingers like a child. If he's wanting my attention he'll do it when we're out & about too. Too cute
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! Sam doesnt nibble but he snuffles , lifts his head , wanting me to bend down towards him so that he can snuffle on my neck , its very sweet x
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! Harley does the nibbling thing to me only she is gentle so I don't mind lol
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! Charlie "kisses" too - does a little jump to push his nose gently against my face. Rather jealous of the "only to me" comments though - Charlie spent most of his breaks on the treadmill yesterday, "kissing" his hydrotherapist and nibbling her ears (and her knee pads, zips, and hair). No loyalty, that's his problem. And I didn't get a look in when Angela visited!
Re: anyone elses dogs corn nibble?! LOL I had to read this a couple of times to establish it wasn't the hard skin foot corns too Lilly is not a nibbler. OH would LOVE her to practice a bit of a chiropody on his feet (his old dog ALWAYS licked bare feet, saltier the better) but it just isn't for our girl
