Henry will lick and lick and lick. Whether its me or the sofa or the carpet or his sister, he licks everything.

Oh yeah, Caesar too. He seems to do it more when he's sleepy or winding down. He sleeps under the covers and every morning he's licking my legs, back, or any exposed skin he can find. Lately he's obsessed with licking behind my earlobes. Sometimes it's cute, but usually it's quite annoying. But it's hard to stay annoyed at that sweet face!

Abby does that too! I caught her licking at Taylor when he had one of his hoodies on, and called Taylor over to me, just to make sure she wasn't biting his tags. His hoodie was soaking wet! I was like, "ewwwwwwwwwwww.."

If Spot is licking his butt a lot, it may be an anal gland issue more so than obsessively licking.  I'd have him checked out by your vet!

My dogs lick weird stuff obsessively - the couch, the carpet, my quilts... it's very weird... but if he's licking his butt, I'd be inclined to believe it's an anal gland issue.

Bailey licks the sheets every night when she comes to bed. We have to get stern with her to make her stop. Then she proceeds to lick her feet. Usually no other time except bed time.

Another thing she does is when Rick gets out of the shower...she has to lick each ear and get the water out of them. She is so funny, it is like a ritual. She nearly dances on the bed until he comes over so she can stand up and place her paws on his chest so she can get both his ears. He is the only one that she does that to. When I get out of the shower, she licks my legs. Silly girl!

Oh my gosh, Pugwash is an insanely obsessive licker LOL! He only licks "us" though, nothing else (apart from himself now & then). He will honestly lick us to death LOL. He sleeps with us every night on the bed (under the covers a lot) & so every morning I am awoken to his little warm tongue on my mouth. It's completely adorable & he is a joy to wake up to. However, as adorable as it is, we have to put our hands over our mouths as it is the only way to stop him licking us to death, lol. Everyone I've asked so far, who has a rattie, says that theirs licks them like crazy too. So it surely must be a "rattie thing". :0)

Harley likes to lick my ears...he seems to have a thing for cleaning ears and is always trying to lick ears...he is always licking Rat's ears which makes her growl at him..he also likes to lick my toes.....now Rat is obsessed with licking her foot before she goes to sleep and there will sometimes be this wet spot on the sheets where she has licked so much..we have to get after her and nudge her to stop....I think it is a terrier thing....

Bijou is a licker as well. Her favorite thing is to lick your face in the morning, especially eye lids, then she will work her way down your nose and try to sneak in some nostril licks. LOL She also spends about 20 minutes each evening washing her feet.

That's my baby girl, Bijou and her little brother Banjo, they are Toy Rat Terriers.
