I posted a while ago about my Bengal kittens nursing on my dog, one sucks on her ear while the other sucks on her stomach. My dog doesnt mind, infact I think she likes it, it puts her to sleep.lol. My only concern is that they are a little over 3 months old and i thought they would have stopped by now. They do it alot. Since my dogs doesnt mind she doesnt push them away and im wondering if this will be a problem. I can only imgaine them being full grown and still suckling on her. Should i let it continue or should I "wean"them from my dog?

They are both getting spayed/neutered today, i dont know if that will help with the suckling but im hoping it will. They seriously will do it for hours.

If you are concerned about it....I would provide them with a stuffed animal.
