My kids all think my hubby and I are wierd, and I don't remember how it started other than it was me. Lol. Anyway, started with Taylor 3 yrs ago when I got him at 7months old. One day I leaned over and said "give me a beak" and when he touched his nose on mine I gave him lovings. Well that caught on and when I say yay after he does it, he'll jump up and move his front paws in the air and bark all exxcited. It's cute and I've got the others doing it too. People think we're wierd, but I love it and so do my doggies.
