Sam & the Doberman

I don't get it. Sam can grab our doberman's two ears and pull them with all his might. Lexie doesn't yelp or twist away. And she is much stronger than the grip of Sam's slobbery little fists. I'm mystified. Is this a doggy head massage?

When Lexie is stretched out against the back door, she becomes a jungle gym. Sam crawls over her, sits on her, pokes her jowls. The other day Sam had a wooden spoon with which he was happily swatting Lexie. Lexie raised her head with an air of mild curiosity, as if a mosquito were buzzing. Sam eventually modified his badgering by first bonking her on the head and then brushing the length of her back with the spoon. Lexie was unmoved. Sam began to shout "ga!" at which point Lexie coolly stretched out and fell fast asleep. Am I missing something?
