Hugging?
Ok, is it common for a Shiba Inu to "hug" you as he walks by? Skippy will nonchalantly walk by you and then when he gets his hip area by you, he'll lean near and rub you. Is this common or does he some sort of allergy, etc.? When petting him on the back near hips and rear, he likes to turn and nibble us...not sure if he likes it or if he itches. He doesn't whine so I know it doesn't hurt. Just not sure about allergies? Or if this is just a trait of Skippy and he is showing affection.

So, our clips:
This is what Kitsu sometimes does to our legs or our hair (if we lay on the floor)
not great video - but a better example:
Kitsu has no allergies or sensitivities to anything food or environmental that we know of.
this is what happens when we give scritches near his hips and above his tail:

My shiba does that. He'll also try to use his paws to trip you up from behind. he doesn't mind using my foot as a chair either. But considering what their hind quarters are like, I do not enjoy that trait at all.
