Right there....up a little...over...down....aahhhh - right there!

Does your doodle have a favorite spot to get scratched? Webster loves his nose scratched - his nose! His head, throat, neck - they are all okay but his FAVORITE spot is his nose and moustache. My husband says that it is because Webster is a truffle hunter and his nose gets itchy from all his digging.

Charlotte's favorite spot is her front lower leg and foot. She lays her foot on my lap and wants me to pet her leg and foot. Almost like you would stroke a child and reassure him that everything is okay.

So, what is your dog's favorite spot?

I can't believe some of your pups like their noses rubbed!! Do you mean their buttons?? Mine start sneezing at me if I go anywhere near their nose...which stinks for me because I'm obsessed with my doods' button noses. Seamus' fave spot is his rump. If you even accidentally touch it, he hips into you for a butt rub. Stella seems to like her back legs rubbed...I guess her thighs?? She stretches them out totally if you rub them.

Porter scratches his own snout/whisker area on corners of chairs and my sons' bedroom rugs...then he licks to see if anything tasty was left behind.

He relies on me to 1) massage under his ears--the soft spot on the other side of which is his inner ear I guess, and 2) scratch his sides, right behind his front legs and 3) scratch his face, but I can tell I don't do it as hard as he'd like/the furniture/rug maneuver does it.

No butt or leg interest at all.

Sometime since turning two, he's learned how to rub his front leg over his eyes in the morning to harvest eye boogers (and lick them off his arm of course). The first time I saw him do it, I said to my husband, "Porter's now as smart as an eight week old kitten!"
