Today my new puppy, Bailey, is 8 weeks old. He’s learned so much since I got him. He does his business on the newspaper like he’s supposed to. And he’ll even walk over to the door and scratch it to inform me if he wants to go outside to do the deed instead.

But for as much as he’s learned, he’s still a baby. He loves to take a nap in my lap. And for the most part, I don’t have a problem with that. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out why he likes to burrow his head in my crotch.

And it’s not just Bailey. My brother’s grown Chow Chow is the same way. Whenever I go to my brother’s house to do our sibling bonding and his dog is indoors, TJ (the Chow Chow) will walk over to me while I’m sitting on the couch, and place his big ol’ head into my crotch. What’s that all about?
