Yes!  Our Ferris does something like this!  Sometimes, when we're squeaking
a toy, he'll get all excited, jumping around...and then start to sink his
li'l teeth into the soft inner elbow crook of the arm of the hand that's
squeaking the toy.  We've puzzled over this, but have never come up with any
theories.  We have observed that the louder we squeak, the harder he bites.
Ferris has never broken skin at any time, but sometimes he does leave those
temporary "dents" in the ol' flesheroo.
 
We adopted Ferris from the Humane Society, so we only know a little about
his past.  Just that he was two years old when we adopted him a year ago.
That the owner surrendered him because of "not enough time for", according
to the surrender form.
 
Anyone else?
