Foot-licker!

That would be me. With warmer weather and little kids running around refusing to wear socks, it is a virtual foot fest! I’m not aggressive about it, mind you, but if a foot is sticking out for the licking, I can’t help myself. And here comes my attempt to explain why…

I’m pretty convinced that it’s pheromones. These are chemicals produced by living beings and used for communication. But you have to have the correct tools to get these messages and dogs have the best noses around. The evidence for this is not just feet, but in other things we dogs may find around the house. We will grab a misplaced pair of underwear, stuff our snouts in your shoes or sometimes nab a sports bra from the hamper, oh lordy! All these items are filled with these chemicals that do things to the doggie brain you will never understand.

I know most humans find this distasteful, so to speak, but at least now you might get where us dogs are coming from, yeah?

Here endeth the doggie lesson – Woof!
