I think they do it out of affection. Don't they lick you (kiss) when you come home? Mine do. I don't dare lay down when I come in, I drown in Yorkie kisses. The only one who licks me for no apparent reason is Pirogue. He especially likes my hands and arms. It really tickles when he licks my neck. Pirogue is a very independant person. I think he licks me as a way to be loving to me without me gushing love on him. Sylvia |
