Huey takes any chance he has to lick us in our faces. It is somewhat useful if my alarm goes off and I don't want to get up, because he is very insistant (eyeballs, up nose, etc.). He also licks sometimes after meals, wet beard & all, but always burps. The burp is hilarious because you can't hear it, but he will come and sit in front of me, look up...then the chin dips, the mouth opens and the silent burp occurs.
