Hi Jazz..
Sometimes I kiss Reign on the side of her long bear nose when I am wiping her paws as a distraction since she hates her paws messed with. she prefers spinal messages rather than kisses.
She sleeps/ naps on her blanket or her crate that has a ortho pad which is her "safe" place.
I put on little "puppet shows" with her animal toys while sitting on the floor when she wants to be entertained at midnight. It is how I get her to eat since she doesn't eat every day.
She lays her head in my lap until she sees her food bowl threatened by some of the animals ..kind of like the same idea trying to get a toddler to eat. Although a Wolf she likes steamed veggies and sweet potatoes primarily so it has to be a good show for her to eat dog food or meat.
