| Is it all yorkies or just mine? I have been wanting to ask this for a while now,,,,,,,, You know how you scratch a dog in that spot either on their chest or sides of the tummy, their back legs start moving? Well I have yet to find Gus's spot. The one nerve he does have is above his collar bone. He has a nerve that will make his front legs sick straight up when I scratch him there. Is this normal? Or is it a yorkie thing?

| My little Biewer doesn't have a "spot" either. Yet if you turn him on his back and scratch his little belly..all four legs go straight up! Funniest thing! All I know, is that I would jerk my leg, if I could find someone to scratch my back! No really..all my dogs have a special spot that they just love..each dog is different. Our old bird dogs spot is right between her eyes! Scratch her there and she is yours for life!

| Brutus loves to lay on my lap and have me scratch his neck. It's so funny because when I do it it looks like he's smiling!

| Oh I know where Baileys is,, it is right on his back above his butt! If you even touch it he stops in his tracks and quivers and shakes, moving his butt all around.

| Toto has a tiny spot on either side of her little hips ... take a finger and scratch them both at the same time and both little back legs kick like crazy!! Then, put your entire hand on that little belly .... all four legs go straight up and absolutely stiff as a board ... her eyes close and her little tongue hangs out!! She looks exactly like a tiny "fainting goat"!!! She will lie there like that for as long as you want to just barely rub her belly!! It's hysterical!

| Speaking of spots.. tell me if any of you have this.. If you rub or scratch the little nook below their ears.. He Will Yawn everytime. EVERYTIME, even like 5 times in a row. It is the funniest thing. Anybody else experience that

| wow I guess all dogs are different. Before Gus we had 3 other dogs and all 3 had the same spot that made their back legs kick. So I thought it was odd that Gus didn't have a spot to make those little back leg go. About the Yawning spot, never heard or see one do that.

| I can't find Smudgers spot, but my mum can!! My mums yorkie has a spot on her back where if she lies on her back and you scratch it her leg moves like crazy, it is so so funny. Some people say it's mean because they think it's like being tickled but they can't tell you to stop it, but if that was true they wouldn't lie there waiting for more when you stop would they lol
