| Huey has some things he licks a lot; certain toys, the pillowcases, my face and fingers...not quite sure why. I think I remember Alisha saying GuinnessStout is a big licker, too. No clue...

| Ziva has always been a licker. Now that she is 4 it has settled into a pattern. Before she settles down(afternoon or evening- never morning), she will give the leather couch a good licking (I read somewhere this reminds them of nursing ) Before bed she cleans her feet, which involves a rather busy licking- usually someone picks her up and rinses her feet under the faucet! Abby never licks anything. |

| Its odd just the last few days she licks the couch, blankets, our feet, random toys on the floor, the floor itself, pillows, EVERYTHING. I was wondering if it was a nursing thing possibly. |

| I see that your pup is quite young, check that she is not stressed, or allergic to fleas/cleaners/detergents/lawn chemicals... Better she doesn't start a habit now- like thumbsucking or nailbiting are for people. I have a WheatenTerrier that has immune problems that we think were set off by to close immunizations , a contact with pesticides and a bout with tainted dog kibble. She licks herself out of habit now, I'm sorry I didn't "cone" her when it first started. Ziva's licking is different - more of a calming, getting ready to sleep process, not itching or licking herself until sore spots. |

YT 500 Club Member | My 3 yr. old yorkie, Fritz, is an OCD licker. I swear it makes me crazy. At night before he will lay down and go to sleep he has to lick my right hand or arm. He never does it to my left arm. So weird. Then I have to get back up and take a bath. Oh, he won't stop until I say thank you, that was wonderful. HAHAHAHAHA Such a crazy little boy.
