  I hope this thread never ends - my smile is as wide as the room I'm sitting in right now reading all of these stories!  
 Tibbe's sneakiest move is wiggling up to me with his little ears just plastered flat back against his head, muzzle kind of turned upward to me, little eyes almost squinty, short nub tail wagging furiously, sticking his head way forward toward me as he comes nearer and he just unches wiggling up your body if you are sitting/lying down until his fuzzy little face is right up in yours - soooooo friendly and sweet and soft-looking, baby face.  He places his paws on my chest just so and gives me the tiniest little series of kisses - can barely feel his little tongue.  And I have melted by this time, both hands cuddling him, starting to talk baby talk  - and as soon as he has my full attention, up come those ears, wide-open pop those eyes, little body stiff with purpose and he barks at me and bounces up and down off my chest as he fastens me with his gaze, he whips around tearing down off the couch or bed into the floor to grab a toy and race back up to toss it at me so I will throw it for him.  He's so good at this that I am almost always caught off guard and really think he's just overcome with love for his mommie and wants kisses.  Not!
