We've discussed this already, JuBa...I'm not strange, I'm abnormally cool.

[GoldenRetrLuver]

Yes...abnormal being the key word there.

Ozzy is exactly the same. He's such a weeny sometimes. He is naturally a bit shy around new things, but NOT people or animals! He thinks he's a lap dog too. Anyone else's Collie think they're a lap doggy?
Ozzy has his cuddly moods, but they're rare. He would rather romp around with a toy in his mouth and play!

Yes.
I sit down on the couch, and turn on the T.V. Molly comes over, and sits down right in front. If I ignore her, she barks and nudges my arm. So, I tell her "up" and she'll sit right on top of me. Sometimes not her whole body, but her front paws will and she'll nibble and lick you to death.

Hehe! Same with Ozzy! I can put my feet up, and he'll try to lay on top of them.

Yeh Oz definitely likes to get in my lap. I sometimes think, that in his mind, he's a 20lb Cairn and since he sees them in my lap all the time, then that must be where he's suppose to be too. It's a lil' embarassing at agility or the vets, because I've got this 65lb dog draped across me. Course he doesn't stay there long. He also doesn't do it gently. He flings himself up there, noses me, then jumps back down. Another 5 mins and he'll do the same thing again.

Also when I'm watching TV, he'll come and stand over me to get me to scratch his chest. If I stop scratching, then he'll paw my hand. Why he can't lay beside me and not block the TV, I have not figured out. At least when I tell him, enough, he's blocking the TV, so go lay down, he does.

Hey foam, Oz has gotten more affectionate as he's gotten older, although he still loves playing best. So maybe Ozzy will too. I made a point of petting and scratching him, even though he didn't seem to care about it and he's definitely more into it now then when he was a puppy.
