    taste. my dog often licks the carpet because the kids spill soda and other crap on it plus it is full of crumbs. my wife loves to lather up with Bath and Body Works soap than put the matching lotion on after her shower. As a result, the bed smells like a fruit salad. So the dog licks and rubs his face on the sheets.

    Sounds like he is just trying to pick up your scent.

    I also have a dog that does that. I also had another dog that liked to lick the driveway. I think they just enjoy it, there’s really not a physiological reason for it. If you want him to stop you just have to train him not to do it.

    It’s most likely an O.C.D which is just something crazy the dog does. You can buy bad tasting spray to spray on furnituree that wont hurt you or the dog but will slowly make him stuff.

    Probably out of boredom, gets attention, and out of habit.
    Train him out of it and make sure you keep him entertained.

    Well it could be lacking some minerals in it’s diet. They sometimes lick objects when that happens. Or it may be an obsessive compulsive disorder. Talk to your vet to see if it mental or dietary.

    You might want to bring your dog to the Vet for a check-up. It’s probably nothing serious. But, it’s worth checking out (just to be safe). Or at the least call your dog’s vet and see what they recommend. A site I read mentions Cushing’s Disease.

    I know how important your friend is to you and it’s better to get the ease of knowing that everything is OK!
