why the lick?

[bulldog family]

Norm licks my legs ALL THE TIME!!! When I'm sitting at the computer, watching a movie, even when I'm walking he'll try to lick my legs. I've never had a dog like it. All 3 of the others don't do it. All the fosters that have come into my home have never done it.

Is it just a Norm thing, or are there others out there too?

 

[bullmama]

Yes I have two toe lickers. I gotta wear socks LOL

 

[TessaAndSamson]

Samson doesn't. From my own personal experience I don't know of any bullies that do but my mother-in-law's dachshund does it all the time.

Cutty is a total licker also. It is embarassing when friends come over and he cleans their legs! When you put lotion on it is even worse, he just wants to take it back off. hehe

Bono is also a diehard licker :D
I know Bono does this because of the salt. (mostly he does this when I have jogged 5 miles and my leggs are sweatty )

 

[lexterwayne]

lex is the same way,i have to wait to put lotion on before bed or its just a waste!!!


guess they're a leg man lol

 

[Gertie's Mom]

So far Gertie doesn't lick legs, but I know a lot of dogs do love lotion!

Yep ..... Maggie is a licker too! Although, we call it her OCD because she doesn't seem to know when to stop.

We have two schnauzers and they're both toe lickers!!

 

[KMARINO]

Yes...Vegas is a leg licker!! Especially loves lotion after I get out of the shower, he would sit for hours and just lick my leg IF I allowed it. Personally I do not like it and after a few licks I have to push him away.

 

[bulldog family]

Wow!!! I'm surprised with all the leg and feet lickers. Thanks for the responses!

PS... Vegas is a good looking Bullie!!!

I had to change the brand of moisturizer for my face because Dempsey would lick my face when I went to bed at night. Now he likes the arms. My legs are ususally covered, not into shorts anymore

 

[laurentourville]

Horse likes to sneak up on people and lick their toes, it seems to relax him or something...who knows! He also sits on the bathmat and waits for me to get out of the shower and put lotion on so he can lick my legs!

My weird wife would love that... she tried to get our Shih Tzu to lick her toes, and even asked me to. Uhm, did I just cross the TMI line?

 

[mammyglicks]

mine isn't obssessive about it but if he doesn't have something to play with he'll go for the calves, especially with lotion or when i'm right out of the shower.

Bella is a toe licker and biter....Abby just licks, my arm, my leg, my feet, my neck...anything skin she can find....esp at night.
