I can see the lick..lick..chomp as being a grooming technique of some sort... But I have a boy that you have to watch out for when you're wearing shorts... We all know how fasinating an upright human is...at least to my terrible two... but Daggett will wrap his head around to the soft skin behind you knee and... CHOMP! He doesn't bite hard enough to break the skin, but OH BOY does it SMART! And, I have tried EVERYTHING to get him to stop, bitter apple, scruffing, timeout, PANTS (which he'll just crawl right inside)...you name it.. Anyone have any insight why he does this? Just curious... Leslie (Uh oh...summer is coming!) Bean (lookee! I can so be a flying squirrel!! SEE!) Daggett (boy...you sure are tall! oh look...a KNEE!) [Posted in FML issue 2616]
