Eddie, who is my baby boy who passed away, used to come up to my face and just barely kiss me with the tip of his tongue. He never licked, just touched with his tongue so lightly I could barely feel it and then we would stare into each others eyes for a long time. He loved eye contact.
Angus, our new adoptee has finally decide he wants to play. He didn't at first. Now he will bark at me in a certain way and I will make my hand like a claw and act like I'm going to get him very slowly, then tickle him up his sides going, "tickle, tickle, tickle". He takes off and runs around the end of the bed a couple of times and comes back and sticks his head under the pillow or covers where he can see me with one eye and I do the slow claw and "tickle" again. Then he may act like he's going to bite me but he just pushes off my body and runs around barking playfully and comes back for more. That goes on until he gets tired every night before bed now. I makes me laugh until I can't breathe.
Trouble, our other new adoptee, is kind of wild and wants to play all the time, but when I get tired I'll tell him, "Trouble, no bark, settle, settle." and he will just sort of melt. He goes down on the front and sort of melts down where he's laying down. Then his head goes over and soon he's on his back for belly rubs and soon he's snoring. He will stay like that until I get up, snoring away on his back just like an old man, but when I move, he can jump about 6 feet straight up and he's at full speed again.
That's not all they do that I think is cute but I could get a cramp in my hand.
