Chin Massage
12th July 2008
Scratches are like massages for chins. They looovvveee scratches during the day. But if you’re trying to scratch them at night when they’re active .. forget it! They’ll just push your hand away.
Tubby likes to be scratched by the neck. And he’ll definitely let you know exactly where! He’s so bossy .. he’d turn to the right or left to let me know which side of the neck he wants to be scratched.
Initially, I thought that Winnie doesn’t like to be scratched, because every time I tried to scratch his neck, he would try to wiggle away. Until I found out that he likes to be scratched below the neck, on his chest!
Nothing beats seeing a smiling chinnie satisfied from your scratching

Hi there. The pic is really cute!
Little chin must have felt very good to have that smug in his face.

Awwww, he looks so blissful!! All the best in bonding Tubby & Winnie. These little fellas can be quite strong minded at times, and things have to move according to their pace. They can be fighting for many months in a row and then decide overnight that they like each other, bonding immediately after that, lol! I hope your pair become fast friends one day soon
