July 6.
International Kissing Day. In
our household, none of us dogs are big into kissing humans. I mean yes, we do it sometimes, but not a
lot. You see dogs who LOVE to lick
people – but we would rather snuggle, or in Paxton’s case, sit on your feet.
On the other hand, we DO like to lick and
kiss each other. I love to lick Frodo’s
ears – and to mess up his face.
Especially after my human has spent 2 hours grooming him. And Paxton, well I like to lick Paxton
whenever I can. I LOVE to lick and kiss
his face, particularly after he has had his share of cleaning my human’s
yoghurt container at breakfast. He often
has bits of yoghurt on his face – and it is my DUTY to make sure he doesn’t
walk around with food on his face.
Some believe that we lick and kiss certain
dogs that we think have a higher ranking than us. It’s true Paxton is the oldest – AND the
biggest. And I DO respect him. But sometimes, well…. I try to challenge him
too. It’s the baby-in-the-family
syndrome. And the problem is that Paxton
is so good-natured, he let’s me get away with murder. He puts up with my tormenting. EXCEPT if I try to push him out of the way
while he is eating. THEN he gives me the
warning, and I’m smart enough to back off!
So today go out and kiss someone. But again – preferably someone you know. And big kisses to all of you!
