why Piper always rolls on her back for him for a belly rub when he either comes down first thing in the morning or when he gets home from work? She doesn’t do this for anyone else, just him? He’s asked me to find out why ;D I’ve tried to get her to do it for me but nope, I ain’t good enough!! 😉
i would guess it would have started as an offering of appeasment when young and he has re-enforced it so it now a conditioned greeting response…..she wants his apprasial….he the household male 🙂 she is showing respect for his status….
no matt 😉 …i dont think you can get nat to do it….well maybe for huge rewards …like diamonds….. ;D ;D
She only started doing it a few months ago, he came in the kitchen and she roled onto her back! He’s done the tummy rub and obviously conditioned it ;D I’ve just told him and with a very chuffed look on his face said ” aghh such lovely creatures aren’t they”. I think he falls in love with her more everyday ;D

[quote author=kizkiznobite link=topic=14461.msg269768#msg269768 date=1246982964] then i would say he came in with strong body language that startled her…so she offered appeasement and got a response… 🙂 [/quote]
First thing he does when he gets home or gets up in the morning is make a fuss of her as he walks in the kitchen, maybe it was a day he’d got out of bed the wrong side ;D 😀
