When Cookie wants to be petted

…this is what she does. Usually she nudges my hand or arm first, but once she has my attention, she moves to this preferred stance.

As you can see, it’s ideal for a relaxed petting session. She’s flat to the ground, spread almost as far as she can get without kicking her feet out behind her, so that a hand can run all the way from the tip of her nose to her tail. But she keeps one ear up, allowing her to hear what’s going on.

I don’t know about you, but I think it’s adorable.
