Corgi shoves me?

Atlas loves to give me this little push with his two front paws. Not in the jumping up way, but literally a shove. It's usually when he's really wound up and wants my attention. If I'm sitting on the couch he'll run up, touch me with his two front paws and push off then run away, or just now, as I'm studying for the MCAT (and on mycorgi.com) he ran up and pushed my thigh then ran off. Is this a corgi thing?

haha, i was about to say that! bear does that with me, notice how they run off and maybe run in a little circle? yeah, its the way to get your attention. i call it bear putting on the breaks. when they're running at you too fast and can't stop, they use your legs and bounce off.

Ashton does something similar. Only he does it with one paw. He will go up to whoever it is that he wants attention from then with one paw, give a little push, then he stares. He will do this until the person gives him some love (ie pat on the head, scratch behind the ears, belly rub...etc.). lol

Usually after a long day away from home, as soon as I open the door, they will run pass me, do a lap around the house, then Mocha will come running full charge at me, jump up and use me as a spring board and bounce off. Yeah, he gets real excited, sometimes he'll do the run and grab, if his pillow (human size) is in his running path, I would grab it and drag the pillow along. (heavy) Good luck on your MCAT!

LOL! It's just hilarious. Dundee especially likes to bounce of me. It's usually a form of "come on mom let's play." I get the biggest kick out of it. Now...if they were Danes and did that, I might work my trainer magic and make them quit. LOL

Wrigley does something similar. If I am in my computer chair, he will climb up on the bed behind me and push me from behind with his front paws and then nudge me with his nose (and bark directly in my ear).
