Hi. Nothing is wrong. I just wanted to know what is the deal.

My girls, Daisy and Lilly are about 4-5 months old now. SUPER CUTE and active healthy little girls.

Last night, when I had them out for playtime, they kept jumping on my lap and off again. Every once in a while, Daisy tried to jump on top of Lilly and Lilly started squeaking and ran away. Daisy followed and they both stopped in a corner and stared at me.

Then, this morning Daisy starting biting around Lilly's eye. Lilly didn't run or get mad. I just wondered what Daisy might have been doing.

Also, what does it mean when they lower their ears when you pet them?

Thanks.

It sounds like dominance humping to me and is perfectly normal. As far as the "biting" goes, it sounds more like grooming. Also, perfectly normal. the lowering of the ears is normal when you try touch the tops of their heads. I think that they are just protecting their ears.
