A Strange Fancy

Cohen has a strange fancy with licking things.  Wait…let me explain why a dog licking things is strange.  Cohen doesn’t lick the typical things other dogs lick like his fur, a person’s face, or your hands after you eat.  Nope, not my dog.  He licks things that have no flavor, no purpose, no nothin’.

For example, last night I was using my laptop just sitting on the couch, and Cohen walks up to me.  I pet his head, and in return he licks the screen of my laptop.  I mean he wasn’t even looking at the screen.  He just turned in and…L-I-C-K!!!  He tends to lick the strange object after he has been standing there for a brief moment.  It’s like he’s thinking “Hey I wonder if that taste like anything?”  After owning this licking machine for over 4 years; we are still trying to decided if Cohen is truly dumb as rocks, or just eccentric.

Bad Breath

Here are a few other strange things Cohen puts his tongue on.

  • the top of the diamond in my engagement ring
  • the toe of my shoe
  • the seam on Derek’s jeans (near his knee)
  • a basket
  • the bathtub
  • Derek’s laptop
  • a chair
  • the upstairs office trash can (it was empty)

Does anyone else’s dog do this?

    My dog is 2 and she licks EVERYTHING too. I was hopping she’d grow out of it, but I’ve given up hope.

    She licks the walls, couches, jeans, pants, sweaters, anything made of fabric! doors, door knobs, the shower, the bed, floor lamps, and the list goes on. I can’t figure out why she does this??
