Hey,
Hope everyone is having a great week. We finally got some sun and with it colder temps, but I'm not complaining.
I have a question first of all. Gracie is just the sweetest girl. She likes to jump, gently, and put her paws on my shoulders. She's tall and I'm short so this isn't difficult for her to do and as big as she is she is very gentle about it. Gives me a kiss and then back down on all fours. Yesterday, she wasn't content with doing it once but multiple times and more forcefully, not aggressive. The last time, she caught my face and eye with her paw and scratched my eye lid. I was afraid she got my eye, she didn't.
Now for the question, is she just being sweet which is the way I interpret her behavior or is she trying to tell me she's the dominant one in the relationship. She listens very well the majority of the time.
I don't allow our dogs to jump up on us in that crazy way some dogs do but will allow them to stand with their paws on my shoulder for a 'hug'.
