I wouldn't think that licking is from allergies. Your post is hilarious littlelizzy!
Yoda loves to lick me and his Mommy, though Yoda is more of a Daddylicker than a Mommylicker, and a select few other people he sees a lot. If he sees me, he'll jump on the couch, jump onto my chest just to lick my mouth. Sometimes I wonder if he's just thirsty and too lazy to go to his water bowl. He also loves to lick skin, my forearm and legs are easy targets for him. At night, I hear him licking his lips or something, and I often give him a bit of water when he does this, and he usually stops after getting some water.
Luckily our couch is black and leather and it's easy to clean up the wet licked spots.
