| Licking... So Wrigley attacks us with his licking pretty often, but I've noticed that he licks things other than our faces... I've seen him lick doors, and the side of our coffee table, even our bedsheets! One time I put my shoes on and he had been licking them and they were all wet. Is he lacking something in his diet? (I feed him Wellness) Or does your Yorkie do this too? |

| I have 4 yorkies, 3 males and 1 female. The female is the only one who does that. Her teeth was bad so i thought it was because of her teeth and the vet said they were probably hurting her and thats why she was licking so much. She mostly licks the covers on the bed etc. I took her and got her teeth cleaned, she had a couple retained baby teeth that the vet pulled, i thought she wouldnt do anymore licking...well i was wrong, shes still doing that, i think its just a habit.

| I have a female Bichon who licks the couch arm and the arms of her favorite chair. She's a licker and will lick me from toes to eyebrows if she gets the chance. My male Bichon doesn't lick. |

| Ok it's 5 am or so..and this had me laughing out loud all alone here at my computer......haha Corkie is an obsessive licker. She licks her own feet constantly as did her Mommie. I've never been able to figure it out. Some one said it was allergies but.. thinking not anymore. She will lick me if I let her, but I ask her not too ( No ) for many years so usually she will stick with her footsies.

| OK I thought this thread was going to be about yorkies licking THEMSELVES. Sasha is constantly licking her private area. I always check to see if she is irritated down there but it looks perfectly fine. I guess she's just keeping herself clean like cats? Or self love perhaps? If it's quiet in the room you can hear the wet licking sound she makes and then when she's done she always wants to lick ME! |

| I wanted to ask the same question. Jinx also likes to lick the inside of my shoes, but what worries me, he keeps licking the paving or any cement thing he can get hold of. He even sometimes likes to eat sone ground. I also thought he has a lack in his diet, or has he? |
