You named the baby NOZZLE? Oh hilarious!!!!

Yes, Nozzle...he went about 3 weeks without a name, but one of his suggested names was Nozzle (I work in a petroleum/oil/fuels shop and he used to come to work with me a lot--only in the office though!). And he pees a lot...so it stuck!

Pao does that too. He especially like the Salvatore Ferragamo one that I got from a flight.

Body lotions contain oil, most contain mineral oil, and they smell it as "food."

Yep, me too. I think the smell is so pleasant to them they want to taste it but I have no idea why they continue!

Maybe we should spread dog food on our legs on days they are being finicky! LOL

Oh you mean you haven't tried that technique? If they're really finicky, I suggest stuffing it in your ears!

My Lhasa Poo used to lick the back of my legs as I walked when I used Neutrogena body oil on them. I told hubby maybe to her it's like salad oil. LOL

I put on a lotion that smells like coconuts and Jewels will lick my arms and hands after I put it on

citygirl · 03-20-2009, 01:05 PM

My dogs do the same thing and my mom's dog also licks her lotion..

OneShinyface · 03-20-2009, 02:53 PM

Diva does the same thing. I'm now working on making her sit while I finish grooming myself. I don't even use scented lotion...Aquaphor, which is thick and emollient. Go figure!

You are cracking me up. OMG maybe we could invent dog food for the picky eater! "Simply apply the food below your knee or someone your dog respects and watch how your furbaby licks it off"

How about we start a "Lotion Licker Group"
