Just something silly I noticed about Magnus. When he has his pacifier in his mouth and is holding on to it, he always has his left paw on top of the right. Occassionally, I'd switch it so the right would be on top of his left. But he always reverts back immediately! If I ask for his hand, he always gives me his left paw and only gives the right if I tap on it. Then when he lifts his leg to pee, 90% of the time, he lifts his right leg. Does this mean he's ambi-pawstrous? LOL

I find it amusing b/c I'm sort of ambidextrous. I use my left for: eating, using spatulas, things that require precision. Right: writing, throwing, anything that requires strength. You know how some ppl say dog(s) and the owner become alike. I feel like that's the case here. haha

What about your pups? Do they have a preference as to which paw they use for certain things?
