Animal Behavior

Just an interesting side topic. Little dog Rosie has this thing about feet`. If I start to take off my shoes she rushes up to wait for the socks to come off and proceeds to lick madly at my feet. Now I could understand after a hot sweaty day but she is even keen when I get out of the shower and I've washed them with soap. This also applies if grandson Jack is here, she does his feet clean or otherwise. Now the strange thing is she is not even remotely interested in Jill's feet or any of the grand daughter's feet. She has even been offered them but turns her nose up at them and goes to sleep. Why? Any ideas?

Re: Animal Behavior

She's a female - we are an unpredictable lot!

Seriously though - probably something the chemical make up of male skin attracts her.

Re: Animal Behavior

It's just a natural thing Ciderman. Females naturally worship the ground us males walk upon so it's not surprising that they like to kiss our feet occasionally.

Re: Animal Behavior

We always laugh as Betty has an absolute addiction to my feet and Gracie's if ivana comes to visit she won't take her shoes off because Betty is ready for her. But the boys yuk she sniffs and bares her teeth and shakes her head won't touch them. I think it must be hormonal as she refused my feet when I was going through menopause but has started licking me again recently.

That is interesting, Nicol.

Also we mustn't forget some dogs can sniff out medical conditions too, but don't want to worry you Cider man.
