The "Good" Tug is back

Lately, he's been doing his "grab the hand and apply gentle pressure until the 2 idiots realize I want to go to bed" routine. He's actually been asking to go! It's so refreshing. Also, he was in mid "crazies" and I shouted (yes, loudly) "sit!" He did it!?! Of course, it only lasted because he thought he'd get a treat but I'm okay with that! It kept the situation from escalating.

Sadly, even "Good" Tug is a lick monster. He's licking me constantly and I sincerely hate that so I'm getting frustrated. I don't know what we can do about it, though. It alternately means "pay attention to me because I'm pathetic" or "I'm tired" or "I'm anxious" or "do you love me." sigh
