Why does Sahara do this?

[youngandtired]

Lately when Sahara is greeting me, my husband or my son she will start licking our clothes while laying in our lap. It is strange, she has just started this, could she possibly be cleaning us? Does your B do this?

Ha! Yes, I have had Bs that do this….particularly one named Bubba Roi, who doesn't live with us anymore...but he would lick our pants! It was really a creepy feeling, and we tried to ignore it, but he definitely enjoyed doing it. Now anytime one of our dogs licks clothes we say 'knock it off Bubba' ;)

I don't know why they do it...I think it is affection, but maybe they don't like the way we actually taste!
