Weird Behavior

Question
Hello Keisha C.  I have a female toy poodle and she's probably about 4 years old (human years).  She has an odd behavior of sitting on my foot, whenever i'm sitting on the couch she will come to me, turn herself around so her rear is facing me then proceed to sit on my foot...this is very strange and i've searched the net for answers but to no avail.  Please help?

Answer
That isnt weird behavior.  I have several that do that.  They always have to be touching.  That is dog speak for I love you and I want attention and want contact with you.  If you noticed a wolf pack they are usually always touching eachother.  They crave the contact.
