removing freckles

I'm am pretty positive that I'm not the only one that experiences this. There are certain freckles on my neck that Ducky feels needs to be removed. He doesn't try and remove all my freckles but has made some kind of determination in his mind that certain freckles should not be on me though I don't know why he came to this conclusion about certain freckles and the rest are okay to remain.

My question -- does he think they are bugs that need to be removed?

I don't know what they are doing, but Magellan does the same thing to me! She is quite a bit cheaper than my dermatologist, but not nearly as efficient.

Caesar used to try to "preen" my freckles when I first got him, but after a year, I think he's gotten used to them now.

Yeah, Stewie used to try to remove my moles too. They must just look out of place or something. :)

Every once in a while, I'll get pimple. Obviously, Ducky tries to pick it but I won't let him. Every time he goes for one, I'll put my hand in his way so he can't get it.

Well, this bird is smart. I happen to have one so what he did is bide his time. Before I knew what happened, he latched onto it -- OUCH -- I tell you, it HURT big time. He's quick -- he knew that I don't let him and so he just went for it REAL FAST.

Our U2 does the same thing. She is always after anything that looks out of place on anyones skin.

Sounds like Charlie! Only with Charlie he'll also find non-existant bumps and whatnot to pick at!
