HE was out looking for her, and then I lost sight of him. Then I caught sign of her, keeping hidden, but obviously looking for him. They found each other and came together for their rendezvous and greeting.
-
- HE was out looking for her.
-
- SHE kept hidden, as she looked around for him.
-
- They found each other and came together: it was time for their daily *rendezvous*
Their snouts touch and their eyes meet, and she gives him a kiss with her tongue — you can see her tongue in the first photo below where she gently caresses and nuzzles him.
-
- There were nose-touches, eye contact, and kisses — in this particular picture she (on the left) is licking him.
-
- She reaches out to put her paw on him
-
- He stoops down and accepts it, showing her his complete deference to her
-
- She then places BOTH paws on his back — she is the dominant one because he allows it.
The *touching* proceeds with her putting both paws on his back — claiming and confirming her higher rank — he allows it and even invites it: it’s a sign of affection and harmony in this little family.
Off they go for their evening together after having spent daylight hours apart.
After that, they head off for their adventures of the evening, after having dozed the daylight hours away in separate locations.
