<p>I've definitely seen differences between my dogs when it comes to
scratches. Lilly isn't too fussy at all - just touch her!. But
Tucker prefers his belly rubs. My past not a basset loved the
base of his spine scratched and would back up to you to have it
scratched. My other not a basset loved to have her chest rubbed.
I love to see them so happy.</p>

<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">It is not quite 6 in
the morning and Conley and MertaLou are on the bed. Conley is
asleep, wrapped in my pillows. But Merta Lou speaks to me as I
sit at the desk well within petting distance, her head raised,
tail thumping gently she says</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">"Rub my face please O
please rub my face."</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">And I reach over and
massage her muzzle and her stop and on up her skull and back
down over the ears and she sits, leaning into me, eyes closed.
This, for her, is the ultimate in affection: I rub her face.</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Conley would take my
hand off for messing with his muzzle or his skull: he wants
belly rubs please, o yes, belly rubs. He rolls onto his back
and spreads out before me, his freckled tummy beckoning.</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Doc would fight if I
tried to roll him onto his back for a belly rub, and he would
duck if I tried to rub his face, but he puts his paws on my
shoulders and requests a chest rub, then gets down and turns
around so I can reach the base of his spine, where the tail
starts, and can use my knuckles to rub really hard, and he
loves this, throwing his head back, lolling his tongue,
grinning and rolling his eyes so he can see my face.</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Three kids with three
different pleasure zones. And I wonder: are all dogs this
different? Do you pet your dogs in different ways? What does
it say about Merta Lou that rubbing her face is wonderful?
What about your dogs?</div>
