Odd question, I have never seen this dog behavior before and wonder if anyone has.
My 8 month old Cavalier King Charles is a total love bug. She follows me everywhere and when I lie down on the couch she immediately hops up on my chest and lays down with her throat over my face. She'll stay there for a couple minutes and then walk down to my feet and go to sleep on them.
It seems that either:
A. She knows about the life insurance and wants to smother me
B. The throat on my mouth is total submission
C. She likes the warm breath and thinks my laughter is funny.
...there is no hint of anything remotely resembling a dominant or aggressive posture, she just soaks in the love. I interpret it as "OK, folks... this is my human!". She definately considers me top dog and follows me everywhere whn my daughter isn't playing with her.
Any ideas? Anyone else have a loving but suffocating pup?
Chuck
