This is how I think of it,
My little chi x lhasa apso loves to lick my legs at bedtime. when i get into the kitchen and she sees me turning all the lights off she follows me as if to say "come on mom, time for your massage." She jumps up on my bed while i watch tv and shell lick my legs for a good hour, off and on. She is the only one of my 3 dogs that does this.
At first I thought it strange but my son says she has been doing this to him at night in bed on his arms since we adopted her. since my son is 16 hes never home anymore and she comes to me at night.
My toy poodle sits on the bathtub edge when I take a bath so he can lick my wet toes.
well, at least i never have to pay for a massage again!!!!
Love it, who else will lick your legs and toes?
