A while back, I did a post about the similarities between Dakota, Kisa and Larkin. Today, we discovered another one. From the time Kisa was a few months old, she loved the butt rub — me straddled over her back facing her rear, fingers massaging all that fur on either side of her tail. Dakota has now taken to presenting me with his hind quarters to take advantage of that same luxury. We’re talking about a six month old puppy standing perfectly still for 20 minutes, head nodding, eyes drooping.

If he would only be that still when being brushed or having his nails clipped.
