Does anyone else have a dog that likes to suck? Layla has been sucking on the corners of pillows for as long as I've had her. Everyone else always thought it was weird. I just finally did some research into it, and it turns out my dog ISN'T weird!!! YAY!
Apparently it's common, and it's done for comfort just like a kid sucking their thumb. And most dogs do not grow out of it. It's always a pillow or cushion that smells like me... the cushions on the couch or the pillows on my bed. Even when she gets excited she runs right to my bed and latches on to the corner of my pillow until she calms down. When we go to sleep at night, she'll start sucking on the corner and her little paws are up there too, kneading away at the pillow until she falls asleep.
