Besides the "no eye contact" and "no touch" rule I also insist that strangers get down on their haunches to communicate or touch any of my furbabies. Leaning over them to touch them is a sure fire way to get a dribble on the floor. Chipper also dribbles if someone uses a high-pitched "eeeeee" sound when they see my Yorkies. My daughter is a major culprit in this department when she visits. Drives me nuts. You'd think someone with her brains could remember that rule from an earlier visit. Common sense escapes her. As I said, it drives me nuts.
