    Both my dogs love the human shield and will fight over who is under me. 🤣

      My dog really doesn’t like thunderstorms, but the human shield is really the only thing that helps him from shaking uncontrollably.

      So whenever there is a bad storm I end up laying on top of him on the couch watching whatever

    snout smooch

    That’s funny. My dog didn’t like it when I touched his nose even though he had no problem using it to jab me rather forcefully when he wanted something.

    This isn’t on the list, but he did like it when I carefully scratched the groove between his eyes.

      I figure it’s like the wind in the face thing. Even I like sticking my head out the window, but if you blow into it? That’s a frown.

    Make sure the dog isn’t uncomfortable with any of this either. The Snout Smooch is practically asking to get nipped

    “Rapid butt pat” is more properly known as “Butt bongos”

      Agreed, that’s what we call it in our house.

    Most of these work on my cats, too! No airplane ears, but the rest are kosher. Rapid pats are out of the norm—my last cats thought I was punching them when I did light pats, so I stopped right away. My current cats arch their backs and I play them like xylophone and they’re sad when I stop.

    Please don’t kill your dog when they bite your face because you ignored their communication. Snout kisses and tongue pokes are not a great idea.

      I’m guilty of all these. But she’s a pug, she won’t be biting my face any day soon.
