What a lovely tribute to your Kobe! Your dad was rewarded for his devotion and you too. Thank you for sharing your story with us, I have rescued all my Old English Sheepies and each comes with his/her own story and set of issues that we all learn to love and adore. My boy Taggart (also a dog of the day) has the same habit with the hands, he knows if you are just sitting there you might as well be petting him and he will continue to nudge till he gets his way... he is so big that he will plant himself between two people and get them both to pet him, one on the face and the other his behind..

Your Kobe's eyes are so beautiful...
