Charles Has a Licking Problem

| | Comments (3)

Frances and Edith have idiosyncratic licking problems, too. (Frances obsessively licks a hot spot on her foot and Edith obsessively licks Frances's face.) DISCLAIMER FROM DREWTOOTHPASTE (author of video): "The licking is not a serious medical problem. Charles is under regular veterinary care, and was not harmed during the making of the video. He is just a weird dog." In other words, Charles does not do this all the time. Evidently he is stimulated by the sight of something (tasty treats?) outside the frame.

Dogs sometimes get a mild addiction to licking. When they lick, they get a little chemical buzz because licking is something that dogs do to be friendly and to show happiness. It's like how humans get a little euphoric from laughing. Sometimes when dogs are excited or nervous they lick the air, and some dogs get a little carried away with it and carry on with it a little longer than others do.

Cute video by the way.

reminds of my dogs Otto and Clementine. Too cute
