Bimmer used to pinch me on the butt. He quit doing it when he got a bit older and more responsible. I kind of miss him being full of mischief - feel bad because that all stopped when Buffy died; he just became so serious.
Shiva grooms everyone - that corn on the cob eating thing - and we all brace ourselves when she does it because she really puts everything she's got into it!
She does it when she wants to take care of us. You should see Bimmer's face when she does it, lol. He braces himself against something and literally rolls his eyes. He knows she means well, but it can be trying at times. She and Kharma both poke me with their snouts when they want me to pay attention so they can tell me something. That's WAAAYYY better than being swacked by those big paws! OUCH!
Oh, and Shiva likes to pinch Charley lightly on the end of the nose. I think it's got something to do with his moustache . . .
Kharma and Bimmer are kissy dogs, and Bimmer burrows underneath your hand or arm with his pointy nose until he's got his head in your lap underneath your hand - perfect for being petted.
But those pinches were awfully cute, even when they stung a bit. [sigh]
