Um...(scuff scuff) I know the blowing raspberries on his tummy sounds silly but he really loves it.

I can literally lay on top of my 7 yr old dog while she is on her back with her legs in the air. Often, if I am laying on the floor, she will let me lay my head on her chest and rub her belly. I don't look at it as me trying to dominate her, I see it as she trusts me and knows nothing bad is going to happen to her if she is in that position.
