booge Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Our pug has an annoying habit, when he's on his bed he will sit there and lick it constantly. New bed, old bed, freshly washed bed, different fabric beds...he licks them all. Not a big deal but i find it very curious, anyone know why?

booge Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 It's like listening to a tap drip when I'm trying to sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkhe Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) My poodle does too - I think it's a comfort thing. The licking gets slower as she falls asleep and sometimes she falls asleep with her tongue out a bit.. :laugh: Edited to provide pictorial evidence (excuse the "au naturale" hairdo) Edited July 19, 2012 by Alkhe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibbie_tabbie Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Our old Brit Staffy man licked rocks all his life. At first it was vet visits to see if he was deficit in some mineral or other, turned out he just really liked licking rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Mosley licks his bed or a nearby cushion and Lili sucks on a pillow or a toy :laugh: strange creatures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yes Kibah does it too, leaves wet patches that initially made me think I had an incontinent whippet. I think it might be a comfort thing but I find it annoying because she sleeps with me and it makes suspicious looking stains on the mattress.

huga Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 My pug doesn't do it, but my frenchie is a licker. He will lick the screen door, the bars of the crate, the floor and the pug (especially in her ears). He often falls asleep sucking on a soft toy too, but that is a very frenchie thing to do.

Aziah Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Good, I feel better now :laugh: I have an almost 9 year old who likes licking things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlowerProwler Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 My boy does this as well. I find it more endearing than annoying :) . He's been doing it since he first came home. The action to me seems very similar to suckling? He kneeds with his paws and licks/mouths the bed. Very sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that's what Lili does, she will do it to cushions, pillows and toys, she falls asleep suckling...adorable! She's done it since a pup too.
