When will she stop 'sucking'.....
We all know she loves her "baby" --a sheepdog stuffie that she mouths and paddles when she is sleepy or board-----but last night she was extremely tired and while she was in her 'zone' doing her little paddle thing, I sat down beside her and gently put my hand under her muzzle and sure enough...I felt her actually sucking on baby's nose!!!  
I never could verify that she did this until now!! I assume this is equivalant of thumb sucking in human babies... but she is almost 14 months old. Anyone have any experience with this??? Will she 'suck' forever???? How odd is this behaviour? or it is more common than I think???? |

| Dutch is 2 in October and she still sucks the nose of her teddy |
| WHEW!!! Thanks Darcy and Jean...
I thought I was looking at some kind of 'problem'...and of course, I would be MY fault..It's always MOM's fault.......  |
| Frank is 2 1/2 and he has a stuffed hot dog he sucks every chance he gets. I love it, it is so cute!! |
| I was wondering the same thing. Our year old newf suckles her "big brown dog" about every night. I've never had a dog do this before. |
| Not a dog, but my five year old cat, Einstein, still suckles every night, too. I've never worried about, though. His littermate sister, Ainsley, never has done it. |
| I think it is the cutest thing...I am trying to get a video of her doing it!!
|
| Bingley is two and has an octopus, a bunny, and a puppy dog that he sucks on. I think it is adorable! |
| Mopsy did it until the day she died. We had Teddy cremated with her. He was her blankie and thumb all rolled into one and she would grab him for everything - like if I was going downstairs to exercise she would grab him to suck him.
Evidence that Teddy went everywhere - like a blankie:

| Well...you know...like Mother like Daughter. |

| LeAnne's Clay still does it to his stretchy gecko toy - just sucks on one leg!
Clay is 7 1/2, and I don't see him stopping anytime soon! |
| Bella sucks on any stuffie she settles with. Nigel never does it. Bella is from Ali and it seems most of her dogs do that. Duncan is Bella's dad...and I have seen him do it with "the monkey".
I think I sucked my thumb in my sleep until I was 11. I don't blame myself...I blame Ali!!! |
| Now Val, you and I have HAD this conversation!!!! lol. DONT BELIEVE ME....... see how you are?! pfpfpffpfpfptpfpfppfpt!! others do it too.....
her mother and her uncle suck the brains out of their gund gorilla! NO ONE ELSE is allowed to touch that gorilla.......... Duncan drags it around all over the room looking for "THE" right spot and then turns the monkey to where he faces out, and opens his mouth as big as it can be and then CLAMPS down on the back of he monkey's head and starts to suck the brains out of that monkey............ Dee is a bit daintier in the way she does it, but same thing....... |
| awwwwwwww geeeeeeeeee....................
THANKS WENDY!!!!!!!!!! |
