Nova doesn't like her feet or tail touched when she is sleeping or lyeing down. She will jump like 7 feet in the air and then make this grolwy snorty noise like "How dare you!"

When you are talking to Connor he pretends to be a tough guy. He acts like he isn't listening, and he looks either straight ahead or to the side. After you are done, he will turn really fast and lick you once and then turn back. Like, "Aww mom, you know I love when you talk to me like that, but not in front of the girls!" LOL. One time my friend was over and I was talking to Connor in my baby voice telling him he was a good boy. My friend said "I dont' think he is listening to you." and I said " Yes he is, watch." and I started to talk to him again, and then stopped, and he turned really fast, gave me one lick and turned back. She was like "Does he always do that?" and I said yes.

Connor also has cheek bones that he has controlle over. When he is listening to you, or really happy about something, he moves them upwards. When he is just being normal he has them relaxed. You can tell when he is and isn't listening to you by his facial expressions. I've never met a dog who can move there face so much!
