Hi All,

As much as I love Lola, she seems very, very affectionate at the min! She is very licky and has an obsession with climbing on to you and wanting to put her face over yours!
I dont mind, but should i discourage this behavior as i have friends who might not apreciate haveing a furry face cuddle combined with ear nibbles!!

Any advice, tips or reccomendations would be greatfully received!

I would say it's entirely up to you! If you're happy for her to do it (and I know some people are) then carry on!

Personally I don't like dogs licking my face, and despite Da Murfsta's best attempts he's always told a firm "no" !

I use an "off" command so Angel does get down. I also taught Angel the "cuddle" command, so if for any reason i have told her "off" ie as im trying drink tea, then when i am ready i ask for "cuddles". I found this worked for us!

Oh I love a good snog, Boo won't let me in the house until we've huge kisses, Bam's learn't this too, love a big smacker and then Nick tells me what he's eaten on the last walk.

And Jack's a smooth boy, loves his big kisses and whinnys

I'm just a big softy, I snog everyones kids

I must agree with Maisy's mum, i love a cuddle but no licking.

Well......... they lick their bits don't they!!

TRUE FACT:

A boy's mouth contains more bacteria than a dog's - tis true!

Its not the bacteria im worried about, and desptie having a few dodgy boyfriends in my younger days, none of them ate rabbit/fox poo and all the other horrid things i have pulled out of Angels mouth over the years!

Racers a cuddle boy, but no kisses and we're both happy with this arangement, he also knows what off means. He will cuddle up to me on the sofa or just sit on the sofa, but when told off he gets off. (sometimes I have to tell him twice.)

I like my cocker kisses but only when I ask for them..at other times I want all furry paws firmly on the floor so Ive taught them 'kisses' and it works

Hmmm, not sure about the dog versus boyfriend's mouths?
Seriously (I am a nurse, a human one!) dogs mouths contain a lot of bacteria and licking around the face should be discouraged. You should always wash your hands after any dog licking or affection.
Curiously, a cat scratch can be worse than a cat bite.
Anyway, showing my softer side, I do love coodles with Moxie. I sit on the floor and she climbs all over me. Her favourite thing is to "nibble" me. It tickles!
No harm at all in it.
Just wash those hand afterwards.

the truth about the dog versus boy mouth thing is....

there is more bacteria in the human mouth, but... we are resistant to most of it


It is still a great line, and hopefully will continue to put year 6 off snogging each other in the playground for many years to come yet!

I won't divulge what the swab of Baby B's nabber revealed to the biology students at college!!!!! Lets just say the toilet swabs were cleaner

Bailey is a great snogger! You can give her a smacker right on the gob, and if you time it right, get away seconds before she sticks her tongue out!

She wants to snuggle as much as possible, sticks her head into your neck if she possibly can! I love it, apart from when she sticks her elbows in!
