Animal Smiley 019 She never stops licking her feet!

My little girl has developed the most irritating habit of licking her front paws. At her last vet's visit she was checked over and is 100% healthy.

This morning I thought she had wee'd on my bed because there was a huge wet spot on the sheet where she was lying but it was from her never-ending licking! then i noticed 3 more where she had moved around and lay and licked them!

It's almost like she has an obsession with it. I can say for sure that chasing her tail, catching it and then sucking it to death is a definite habit and now this paw licking thing has become the same. Her feet and tip of her tail are always sticky.

I know dogs lick their feet, but is it normal to be doing it every spare second she has? There is no sign of redness between her toes or any fungal infection, it's just purely a habit. Even the vet checked it out and said nothing's irritating her skin.
