I have a 18 month old pekingese male, he is about the neatest little dol I have ever owned. He does have a temper and is very protective of his food and his toys. He has a habit since we have had him of suckling or nursing on a stuffed ball toy of his. After he has eaten he will go and get this ball and lay on the floor and suck this ball as though he is nursing. Can you tell me anything about this habit? He was the runt of the litter and am wondering if this has anything to do with the habit:]
Thank you for any response you may have.
