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.

Silly.
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
