We adopted a 5-1/2 week old, Peaches, and she used to suck on my neck. She did it all her life whenever she was feeling insecure or frightened. I never chased her away but let her "nurse" as we called it. She died at 17 years and we miss her still.
I should have clarified that statement...she was 17 years old when she died and has been gone nearly five years. We now have a 7 year old dog, Rosie, adopted from PAWS, and two sweet cats; one 13 years old and the other a 'kitten' about 5 years old.

Nope not weird, normal. I've had kittens and puppies who did similar things. My doxie was about 2-3 weeks when we brought her home from her momma, mom rejected her. I took over her care with feeding and she would suckle on my arm and when I would snuggle her in my neck she would suckel there. I would say it is part of a natural relfex and nurture.

I had one that use to suckle my hair. Up underneath in the back. I always had a wet chunk of hair. I had another who slept in my hair. He would knead and knead until he was happy with his nest and then curl up and sleep. If I rolled over during the night he had to go through the whole thing again when digging his claws into my head to hold it still didn't work. LOL good thing he was tiny and the guy he went to had no hair to speak of.

I raised my Calico Gracie, on a bottle after her mom died. She was only about 3 wks. old & would try to nurse at the short hairs on the back of my neck. She loved her bottle & put her "hands" around it like a baby does. She's almost 7 & is rotten!
