Roving Reporter June Buggie here with News You Can’t Use….. but you want just the same.
Everybody wants to know the deep, intimate secrets of heartthrob Rumpydog, so today I have an exclusive scoop on a secret that will knock your socks off!!!!!
Everyone thinks Rumpy looks like a big ole’ teddy bear and imagine him snuggled up next to them while they sleep.
But nothing could be further from the truth!
*audible gasps*
It’s true. Rumpy loves to lick Jen’s face…. and her hands when they have something tasty on them…… but he does NOT like to be hugged and he does NOT cuddle. If Jen lies beside him on the bed, Rumpydog MOVES AWAY!!!!
And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen….. and dogs….. and cats….. another preconceived notion about a cute animal blown out of the water!

Aw, Rumpy! A cuddle would be so lovely x.
My dog is the same. If he wants attention, he comes to me and hugs me. If I go to him first, he glares and gets up and leaves. My old mutt is 18 and the older he gets, the moodier he gets!
You have such an innocent face. No one would ever guess. We’ll just pretend June Buggie didn’t reveal that little piece of information! If we send you a virtual cuddle, would that be OK? If not, then June Buggie has our permission to give you the Thunderpaw. (just kidding!)
He does that anyways!!!!
Awwww *gasps* Noah is so fluffy everyone thinks he is cuddly too but he just wants to dash around everywhere and play!

But of course!
Shock, Horror, Probe! That’s a tad ungalant dear Rumpy but guess you need your space 😉
Woof! Woof!
There you go 🙂 it’s a personal space issue that a lot of pups have ..Forrest is fine with lying next to him..until he has had enough then you get the kybosh,he does not like being cuddled firmly,he is a gentle soul and we respect his personal space when he wants it.Doc is more snuggly but also has times he wants to be left alone..as we all do…neither of the boys care if the cats snuggle…:)
You should have started off with “Spoiler Alert!”
Gasp! Next you’ll be telling us that Rumpy doesn’t like dog cookie treats.
That will NEVER happen!!!!
Thank heavens. There are still some things we can count on. Rumpy, you tell June Buggie that too much transparency affects your mystique. 🙂
I’m going to take this information under consideration, but since it comes from a cat I tend to believe it may be false or exaggerated!
Depends who wants to cuddle perhaps 🙂
Oh boy. I’m so going to have to keep a closer look at my laptop. If the cats see this, they may try to tell my secrets. Oh NO! XOXO – Bacon
Oh no! Please tell me the cats like cuddles…or one of them…
They do….. When they want to.
Well since you don’t cuddle. Did you want a cookie?
Hai June Buggie!!! *waving*
I understand Rumpy! Me too, if mom lies beside me wherever I am, I move away immediately!!! I hate getting hugged and cuddle, either! You like them, June Biggie?
WE are STUNNED!! Are you just yankin our walking strings about this???
MEOW!!!! -June Buggie
LOL awesome blog
Oh Rumpy, I hear ya! I only cuddle with Mama, for a little bit, unless I want to sleep. Nalle, however, is a big teddy bear (that’s what her name means) and cuddle bug, and she also likes to lick! Wooooowooooooo!
Say it ain’t so!
I’ll bet what he lacks in cuddles he makes up for in dance moves!
Maybe he gets too hot? Other wise I just can’t imagine it.
Of course, lots of dogs don’t like to cuddle. I imagine Rumpy just wants to make sure Jen gets the best view of him. After all, it’s hard to see how handsome he is if someone is slobbering all over him. 🙂
G-A-S-P! Horror of horrors. We can’t believe Rumpy isn’t cuddly. Are you sure you don’t have him confused with another dog, June Buggie? No? sigh. You’ve burst our bubbles. WE’ll have to go see if we can snag a treat to help us recover.
Can this be true! I’m flabbergasted! Cuddling is the most fun I have all day!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Wow, the things you learn about your friends! Who would’ve guessed???
June Buggie, disclosing secrets could be thought of as bullying and from the look of things Rumpy is way bigger than you. Rumpy just shows his love for Jen in other ways.
BJ is getting less cuddly as he’s gotten older. Just let him hear thunder, and he’s on my lap squeezing as close as her could. I have to admit, I’m not sorry that there is thunder.
LOL! My Sephi hated to share the bed or couch with me too. Sometimes she wanted hugs but most of the time she just tolerated them. See, if you’re going to be my dog, you have to tolerate hugs and kisses on the nose.
Hear! Hear! Let’s have more in depth investigative reporting from June Buggie!
Oh, but he looks so cute, sweet and cuddly sweet June Buggie. Since you have told a secret on sweet Rumpy you better watch out what he says when he posts. : ) He may know some secrets about you he is waiting to tell. Do you like to cuddle? Hugs and nose kisses
Sounds like my dog! He looks like an adorable little lap dog, but try to cuddle up to him and he can get vicious!
Typists cairn is exactly the same, so long as he is being touched on his terms he is happy! Her collie generally curls up on top of her in an evening and cuddles as close as he can get!
I never knew that Rumpy does not like to be hugged. Any more amazing revelations? 🙂
I once asked Jen if Rumpy liked to be kissed!! 🙂 At least you lick Jen’s hands when they taste good!
sounds like a true Northern Breed woofie to us
