Back scratching - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Emily Rose · 02-28-2013, 12:25 PM

I will brush my Emily out to make sure she looks nice, as well for her comfort.. but every now & then I will give her an ear rub or a back scratch with my hand.

I love when I find the "spot"... & her nose goes in the air & her back leg starts moving !! lol It takes everything in me not to laugh at her

Most of the time she does not care for the brush.. unless I catch her in a mood to be brush, & sometimes she will nose bump the brush for more.. or look at me then at the brush.. hint hint.

Anyone else have a baby that always needs a little bit more ??

Jessies spot is under the left side of her chin but today I have found spot #2, when I rub the inside of her ears! Thats back leg goes a million miles an hour...

Lol, I love it too when you hit the sweet spot.

With Wylie, he not only does the leg thing - but if you run your fingernails down the middle of his back, you get to a spot where his whole back goes into a big shiver...it's really cute

My guys also do the shiver, as well as arching and pushing toward your hand/fingers, and the back leg hop, AND, lots of tongue thrusting when you are in just the right place.

Then, if you're not in just the right place they want it in, they'll move and thrust the right place up against your hand.

We always called it the thumper spot. Just like Thumper in Bambi! LOL I haven't found Princess Sophie's yet. LOL

Besides just normal finger work, I have a spare Comb I use to scratch them with. Grooming thereafter is not so time consuming.

At bedtime I love to give mine a massage and boy howdy do they ever love it. They stretch out as far as they can so I don't miss a spot. Lol

I forgot to mention something which others may consider...

We all know how sensitive our guys throats are, and my guys just LOVE to have them scratched. Having started using a Comb (to do both) scratching and light grooming, I've found that it is a very good way to do their throats. I have rather large hands, and had to be SO careful before I found this "new" tool.
