I love my chihuahua, I even have the bumper sticker on my car to prove it. She is my original baby and I have to admit that in my purse there is a photo of her, sorry kids. Anyway she has this habit of nibbling on me as if I were a prime rib fillet. Lilly does it so gently and so often that I don’t really notice it anymore, until the other day. I was in front of the computer and I moved my foot slightly, that’s when I felt a tiny paw push down on my toe. Lilly had been licking a dry patch of skin on my ankle and didn’t appreciate me moving. I moved my foot again to see what she would do and sure enough I felt her applying pressure to keep me there. Suddenly I realised that this “exfoliation” technique had moved into the realm of alpha dog superiority. Then again maybe she liked the taste of my sweat and wasn’t about to lose her bone….I mean my foot. Either way she removed all my dry skin without a pumice ever touching my skin!
