what does your baby do to show they want loved???

[nichmom]

Lucky has just started doing this thing when he wants loved. even if he is in his cage he will do it lol. he will just kinda fall over and lay on his back. his back legs sticking straight out and his front legs like he's begging. it is the cutest thing. he is such a doll baby! he will look at me and give those big brown puppy eyes. if he is out of his cage and we are playing, he will come right up beside my feet and kinda fall down and lay on his back on my feet. he loves having his belly rubbed. he is developing quite a personality! so glad i went and rescued him from that home! also animal control says they are checking into these people. hopefully i hear from them soon.

That is cute. However, why is he in a cage? How long have you had him? Do you mean crate?
My Suzi also rolls over on her back . She loves a belly rub. Suzi follows me everywhere too. AND is a kisser ! She will kiss my whole face, ears , forehead, all the time . She puts her paws on my face and gives sweet kissess.
My Suzi is the most incredible, loving puppy to everybody. I absolutely love her with all my heart.

My Naboo is so funny. She loves me growling or making a sound like (mum mum mum) on her neck and she loves me soft biting her ears. When she hears me making that mum mum mum sound, whatever she's doing, even if she's playing with her ball. She will drop everything, crawl to me, and lays to her side with her head down. I will then mum mum her neck and bite her ear and she loves it! When Squeekie sees this, she runs over to us and start biting Naboo's back legs. Naboo loves it! She'll start shaking her leg to Squeekie but she doesn't growl or get mad at her.

Maybe I'm dense but what is the difference between a crate and a cage anyways?

[mscat]

It is the shape of them. When i think of cage, it reminds me more of a "prision" for dogs. Crate= more of a place to go to for security and relaxation. Birds are in cages, not dogs.

[Kaylah]

Kaylah has multiple ways of showing that she wants some love and attention. When I'm sitting at the computer, she will either walk back and forth, rubbing against my legs until I pick her up or stand on her back legs with one of her front legs on my knee. When I'm in bed, she'll lay on my back or stand right at my face until I start rubbing her. Then she'll roll over on her side and go to sleep.

Exactly. Same thing just cage was used instead of crate.

[pookiebear]

My Bernie plops down on his back at my feet with all fours up in the air. He'll follow me around the house doing that until I rub his tummy. It doesn't usually take but one time. He's so irresistable when he does that. You just gotta stop what you are doing and love him.

[Gracie2006]

Gracie will crawl on my shoulder. Holly will crawl on my chest. If she can't get there, she will sit next to me and bark at me.

[J_is_my_initial]

Gypsy will pat me with her paw. My dtr thinks it is the cutest thing.

[TeddyBear]

Starsky will dig or paw at me when I am sitting down and when I am standing up he stands on his hind legs against me asking to be picked up.

Shylah will kiss my feet or leg when I am standing up and if I am sitting down she comes up and kisses my arm or if I am laying down she kisses my face.

I know I'm getting off topic here, but I think the difference is in the connotation of the word, and not the physical structure. A crate is a place a dog has been taught to find as a safe, secure den to rest and sleep, whereas a cage is a prison from which the dog is eager to escape and has a more negative connotation. The physical objects can look the same, but I think the words show different intent by the owner and/or different perspective from the dog.

End my off topic philosophizing....
