My dog is so happy that warmer weather is here because my feet and sometimes my legs are uncovered and he can sit there and lick my skin for what seems like forever!!
I thought maybe he had a salt deficiency but the vet said no, some dogs are just lick-y. Have you ever had a dog like this, or is it a Boston Terrier thing? My last Boston did this, too.

Hi dragon54u,
Take a good look - a REALLY close look at your legs.
Do they bear any resemblance to anything you know, hmmmm?
Eg, bacon.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
And if you ever notice your dog sleepwalking in the middle of the night with a knife, fork and napkin in hand (paw), make sure your legs are securely covered!
You might consider giving your dog a substitute to take his attention away from those juicy ham-hocks, eg, give him a slab of bacon to slobber over instead.
But keep your bedroom door locked, just in case!

Actually, my dogs sleep in my bed and he never licks then. But after I take a shower he'll lick the shower mat and get into the shower and lick the floor. He dries off my feet, too. He licks my hands and arms when he can, too.

My dogs not really a licker. He'll lick your toes or feet sometimes or hands if you have food/smell like food.
My cousins old dog was a licker. When I was sitting on the couch next to her she started licking my leg and didn't stop till i moved! and i had to move because it was starting to hurt. lol it was some kind of pit mix i think

It gets kind of irritating sometimes. Although it feels kinda good when he does my feet!
