I knew a blanket sucker and a teddy bear sucker. Now we have CoCo who kneads and sucks on her ball.

I didn't even think of toys.. that's so funny because Rocko gets in a chomping rhthym with his ball then starts to suck on it.... and Onyx sucks on her kong... but I didn't even think about it because those are toys and the blanket was unique to me lol.

Yes, my foster does the paw thing too. I think it's related to nursing. The theory used to be that the dog was taken away from the mom dog too soon, weaned too early. But that might be a old wives tale.

Well, Dozer is out of our Onyx and Rocko. He nursed on Onyx until he was roughly 5wks old until mom wanted no more of the pups teeth. We owned him til' he was 4 months old, he went to his new home... and we took him back when he was about 1.5yrs old and had him ever since (he's going on 3 in April). We just weren't able to find him a good home. Anyways... with that said... I think the 'weaned too early' theory is not true lol.

Maybe if I knew why cats 'mix' their paws... then maybe that would be the same explanation for our dogs that suck on things and 'mix' their paws... ? Not sure. lol.

Too cute! Kahne gathers all the blanket he can and pushed it under him and lays on like hes making a bed.

lol... Reminds me of Rocko.. he has to make the most perfect bed and if it's not perfect he'll get up and move it all around like 30 times.

I had a Jack Russell mix that use to suck on a stuffed toy dog back leg to either fall asleep or just for comfort.

Dogs are so weird lol. My mom told me that her coworker said that her weenie dog sucks on stuffed animals noses and eyes until they pop out really far haha.

capone doesnt suck on blankets but he sure does love to play under them
i would agree with the comfort thing also..or maybe she just likes to have her own blanket

He's def. a blanket hog when he's in 'suckle' mode lol.
