Stolen Kisses

Here's an amusing toddler-dog cycle: (Assuming you're not the toddler or the dog.)
Dog licks toddler's face.
Toddler begins whimpering because dog licked her face and it's "yucky".
Dog sees toddler in distress and attempts to cheer her... by licking her face.
Toddler starts to cry because dog licked her face... again. Toddler yells, "Bad doggie! Go away!"
Dog appears a bit confused, but still wants to help. Dog gives toddler several kisses on the face.
Toddler balls up her fists, shakes a little, and yells, "GO AWAY DOGGIE!"
Dog is very concerned about toddler's increasing distress level. Dog climbs into toddler's lap and begins continuously licking her face.
Toddler howls and attempts to fight off her devoted protector.
Mom steps in, removes dog from toddlers lap, praises dog for his caring (if unwelcome) actions, and offers toddler human hugs.
Toddler accepts.  Signs of distress quickly melt away.
Dog is pleased to see toddler cheerful again. Dog jumps excitedly into toddler's lap and gives her another kiss.

Toddler smiles and says, “Look Mom! Doggie's giving me nice kisses! Toddler hugs dog and says, “Aww, thanks doggie! I love you.”


Thanks Doggie. Mom loves you too.
