Leader of the pack I stubbed my toe last night stepping over Asia's expen. Broke the top of the nail off, I't bled and hurt like H***. I was on the other side of the expen and Asia kept crying for me. Once I got up I calmed her and then cleaned it up and put a bandage on it. When I can back she kept following me around licking the bandage every time I stopped. I told her to stop it because I did not want her to get the medicine in her mouth. I remember that in the pack, dogs will lick the wounds of the injured to help them and confort them. I guess that was what she was trying to do for me. |
Awww... that's so sweet. She was healing you with yorkie kisses! |
That's funny and I never thought about it...but Maximus kept licking where my bf had cut his finger..and it had bled....my bf swear that it helped his cut heal better!!! |
My bf is a Mold Maker and loves to race Motocross, so he's pretty banged up all the time. He kept complaining and asking me why Deegan would always lick his cuts. I never thought about it like that, but it makes sense that they want to heal us and make us feel better. I'm going to tell him tonight - thanks for the post! |
My husband comes home with a new ouchie almost everyday and Gus is always licking them. I never thought of it that way either. |
i have had dogs ALL my life and they have ALWAYS done this....... toby is even better because when i am sick he can get in bed with me and cuddle (lmao,,,, yeah you should have seen my golden retriever try that one ) they are really "in tune" to our ouchies and sickness (some people even use them to detect oncoming seizures :rolleyes: ), they are very good at figurign out if something is not right |
Wow - that's amazing! One more reason our babies are so great! |
