When we first got Mimi she didn't like my boyfriend so much.
She would nip him when he wasn't expecting it.
She lives at his place and they have been bonding and cuddling a lot.
It has gotten to the point where when he takes her out in the morning
he will sit in front of her and bob his head and she will wave at him.
It is the cutest thing ever. <3
Wow I didn't even know that a beardie would respond to a human acting like a beardie. So your boyfriend has shown Mimi that he's the dominant one and she's being submissive.
