Daisy Loves Lotion???

[daisysmom]

I have another question. I don't know what it is but Daisy is crazy about lotion. It doesn't matter what it smells like but if we put on any kind of lotion or sunscreen she smells it a mile away and runs like a mad dog to try to lick it off. She is obsessed. Its as if she is addicted to it. You can't pull her off she just licks like crazy. Of course I don't let her do it but what is the attraction there. Does anyone else have a dog that does that?

My sheltie would always lick off the lotion if we put any on. lol I remember those days with that boy.

My mom would put lotion on her feet! hehehehe guess what....... yep, he licked it off. lol funny boy.

I wonder why this is?

My dogs do it too. Is it bad for them.. Well- If it was my dogs would already be sick. I dont use lotion much but when I do Tink HAS to lick it off. And spot was the same way!

Gemma does it too! Seems like a common behavior. The stuff is inedible with all kinds of chemicals.... can't be harmless.

I try not to let Daisy get too much of it - I rub it in really well. I have really bad heels in the dry weather and have to use a heel cream. Daisy being a doxie loves to sleep under the covers - so yes I would wake up to a little dog licking my feet. So its sox for me at night when I put it on. It just seems so funny because she isn't casual about it - its like catnip to a cat there has to be something in it that attracts them.
