I have never heard that before....I don't know about it either.
Mojo licks constantly.....He loves my mothers toes...he will go straight to her and just wag is tail non-stop and non-stop lick....she makes it a game for him and he loves it even more!
Then, my husband will come home and Mojo hasn't seen his Daddy all day, and there he goes, starts in on the licking. He gets all excited and happy and bouncing around.
He will do this to me when I have to run errands and he stays home (just happy to see me, glad I'm home)...oh, and in the morning, that is how he wakes us up when he is ready for us to get up and about.
Low self-esteem.....hmmm....I just don't know about that. That is an interesting thought, I will have to do some research and see what all the different people say about it, because you know....they will all have something different to say.
