    Zerberts

    Okay I'm just wondering if anyone else gives their dogs zerberts. You know when you blow on a part of skin and it makes that raspberries sort of sound. It's kind of fun to do to them actually, it freaks Winter out a little bit depending an what part of her stomach I Zerbert and Smudge just looks at me like "ma you've finally lost it."

    I have to zerbert the stomach or chest though 'cause they both have to much fur everywhere else and even then it kind of loses it's effect on Smudge, the little guy just has to much fur

    But ya know I was just wondering if there are others out there like me.

    I've never heard anyone else call it a zerbert. I've always called it a zerbert, but no one ever knows what I'm talking about. I think the word zerbert came from the Cosby Show, but I could be wrong.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    Never in my life have I heard of the world "zerbert." LOL. But I know what you are talking about. Reggie is scared to death of that sound....he'd scratch my face off. Smokey would bite me. Maybe I will try that with Nebo. I will probably get my face scratched off *and* bitten with him. lol.

    Ok, I'm one of the weirdos who have done this! But "usually" only when they come home from the groomers. Their little bellies are clean & almost free of hair! HEY! I don't have any kids, I'm allowed!!!!!


    [now, you noticed I say "usually", but come on, I'll be truthful, I've done it other times too!]

    Never heard of it being called a 'zerbert', but yes... I've done that to Kia.

    Glad to see I'm not the only zerbert giver or the only one who uses that word...it's such a fun word.

    I have to admit though the dogs do have a little to much hair, well Smudge so it is sort of hard. I'm almost tempted to try giving a zerbert to a couple of friends dogs but I don't think they would like that.

    Thanks Amy for the great sig!
