    Lilly is a hand licker.
    Not quite sure what category she falls into ;)

    Charlie is a licker - of everyone, and of every exposed bit of skin he can reach, but he specialises in ears.

    He does it as a greeting; he is excited and licking people often makes them squeal ; because he wants a walk/dinner/attention; softly as a form of mutual grooming; because you are wearing tasty face/hand/foot cream...any excuse, really. ;D ;D ;D

    Last summer, Lilly LOVED to lick my tan-prolonging body butter off right after I applied it, but not this year.
    Maybe she preferred the mango to the papaya......

    Yup, I reckon. Charlie loves mango.

    Scott licks everything. ::). Scout not so much. Scott even helps me dry scout and if someone like my auntie is visiting who doesn't particularly like to be licked Scott will do a drive by lick on his way passed her. He always manages it somehow. ::)
