HEAVY HEAD

Liquorice loves for me to gently rub between her eyes with one hand while slowly and softly scratching the underside of her jaw lengthwise with the tips of the fingers of my other hand. She completely relaxes and after a minute Liquorice rests her tired head allowing me to bear its weight by placing her little top front teeth on the fleshy part at the base of my thumb. Her eyes close, her head gets heavier and heavier with those sharp teeth imprinting her dental work on her Dad's hand. And Liquorice has such a heavy head! However, she is quite easy to please, allowing me to do that to her either right or left handed.
