border_collie_crazy Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 ok, you know how dogs, when they are itchy, sometimes sort of nibble themselves, like they sort of chatter the front teeth over the area? well I woke up at 3am to the strangest feeling on my shoulder, when I looked over, there was Misty, sitting hunched over doing that nibbling thing to the back of my shoulder I dunno how long she was doing it for, but there were marks from ther front teeth. I just cannot for the life of my figer out WHY she would do that? edit-sorry about that title, I clearly should not be typing as soon as I wake up lol that should be "NO" not "KNOW" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clara Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 :D Either you taste really good or you had a flea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 We call that "flea biting", but it seems to be an affectionate gesture. Jack does it all the time to the other dogs and me & DH. It's pretty cute, actually. And it doesn't hurt, unlike when he decides to chew on my bare toes.

INU Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 my cats used to do that... I called it love-biting because that's what they were doing My hubby did not appreciate it. 1 of them used to nibble my ears and another one used to brush my hair when I was asleep.

BustopherJones Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 There have been stories (perhaps "urban legends") about dogs who have detected abnormalities (like melanoma) in human skin and have bitten the area to try to help. If you notice anything abnormal about the area where Misty was biting, it might be worth a visit to the doctor just to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie_Girl Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 I've heard that too Bustopher. Skip will do that when I itch him and he can reach my arm. But I have a little stuffed elephant that will say "Lay me down to sleep" prayer in a very young childs voice, and when I get it out, he will do that to it the whole time the thing is talking. When he does it to me, it's kinda weird feeling, cuz of his buck teeth, it's more of a scraping! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

border_collie_crazy Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 love biting, lol out of all my pets I have never seen one do that to a person, so I was really confused I actually thought about the abnoramal thing, and that worried me, but there is nothing odd about my shoulder, its doesnt hurt, or inhc, or even so much as a mole there.
