My Bella does this also, I didn't get her till she was 11 wks old. So I am curious if the human Mom & Dad weened them too early? Bella only does this when she is trying to go to sleep though. Most like a pacifier for soothing. It is kinda cute, but I don't want her to chew a whole in what she is pacifying on. |

Lol, she's TRIED to do it to me before (she used to like to burrow up under my tee-shirt when we slept) but I put a stop to that! Now she sleeps in between my knees, or nestled against my tummy, only, and she has her blankie to suckle! |
My Layla does this too! But she uses cushions and pillows. When she was a baby she'd knead with her paws, but that has stopped now. She'll just stuff her face into the pillow and start sucking :rolleyes: I've noticed she seems to do it to calm down. When she gets really excited, she'll run around for a bit and then look for a pillow! She also likes to do it after eating meals... she'll come straight over to me if I'm on the couch and I'll lift her up and she'll start sucking on a throw cushion :) I think it's just the cutest thing! She does it before bedtime too, if I let her on the bed while I'm reading. She snuggles up beside me and sucks on the corner of my pillow. |
Our first dog as a married couple (Jack, an American Eskimo) did that every night...except he actually CHEWED the gathered-up spot off every night. Our blanket would end up looking like swiss cheese! We'd get a new blanket...and again! We finally succeeded in getting him trained to stop (which was almost sad!) |
Thanks! This thread has finally put a name on some of my pup's behavior-kneading. We are not cat people & would have never figured this out. We'd just call it "pedaling her feet" but she'll do this when she is really, really tired. 99% of the time she has a toy in her mouth, she'll start the "kneading" & her eyes will keep closing, sometimes she'll actually fall asleep! It's way too cute, I just thought it was to further display her addiction to playing fetch.:p She was given to me at 9.5 weeks old, so maybe that has something to do with it.:confused: Whatever the cause, I love it because she is so cuddly & lovey-dovey when she gets like this! |
LOL, My Skeeter is three years old and still likes to hold on to my finger to go to sleep. He used to suck on it when we first got him at 12 weeks old. He climbs up into my lap, rolls over on his back so I can hold him like a baby and latches on! The breeder told me he would fall asleep latched on to his mama too. |

I had a friend that had a little Boston Terrier and she sucked on her blanket. I think she was about 12 or 13 when they had to put her down, but even up until then, she sucked on her blankie. |
A friend of mine has a 4-5 year old female cat that goes nuts when she wears her fuzzy robe. The cat will grab some of the fur with her mouth and start kneading it just like kittens do when they are nursing. You can hear her purr from across the room! LOL. |
