Are my dogs just weird, or is this "normal"?

Dottie and Zoey both aren't real "Lick" dogs... They lick me, but not often... Well, Dottie and Zoey have both started licking my feet - A LOT! And to be honest, I don't much like it, but I tolerate it. Anyone have a dog with a foot obsession like I do? Or are my dogs just weird?

Uncle Fred likes to lick feet, but I think he is just cleaning them. When his get dirty he washes them too. My kids just love it, because it tickles.

Charlie loves to lick feet, hands, arms, legs, it doesn't matter to him. It does get really annoying.

It's hard to say - the lickiest dogs I've met have to be the AUssie/BC type herding breeds... although all of the uber-lickers I've met have been omegas.

My dogs do not lick (Ronin will give you one little kiss if you ask him to). Licking isn't allowed in my household, so the dogs don't do it.

Kai doesn't lick a lot... but when he does, he goes for the feet. If my feet stick out of the covers, I get a rude awakening. lol

Yes, I think your dogs definitely need therapy. But, then, so does Zoe because she would lick the nail polish right off my toes if I'd let her.

Heck , they're only trying to wash what to them is the smelliest part available to them . There's nothing like toe-jam ! Also , they like lotion . So you're either too clean or too dirty !

To Rumor, all exposed skin is fair game. Well, she really only licks what's offered to her. She doesn't do much, if any, uninvited licking.

Gimli use to see my dad, flop down on his side, and circle and lick my dad's feet. He doesn't do that now, though I would rather have that than when he goes for the face.

Yup, I've got a foot licker too. Also an ear licker. But rarely anything else, unless I've been cooking.

My friends dog, that's a basket case of a licker for you....constant, constant...he's a beagle/boxer they rescued. Sweet dog but a bit too licky for me.
