Sprocket is currently licking my foot. She prefers my calf, but both of them are currently covered by blue jeans.
Sprocket is a lickety dog, A friend of mine had a dog named yippity. Perhaps I should have followed her lead and named mine lickety.
I tried sprinkling salt on my hand once, but she didn't like it. I presume it was too salty. When I put moisturizer on my hands, I have to pull them inside my sleeves so that she won't lick them so much.
I think she prefers me to BE since she doesn't seem to tickle me as much. She doesn't like a moving target. I suppose if I were going to lick a flagpole in winter, I'd want it to be standing still. So maybe that's why she likes me more?
Still, I wonder why she does it to begin with. I don't lick flagpoles, even though I could. She'd probably lick those, too. But nor for as long a time as she licks me.
BE suggests, and I tend to agree, that she's licking the salt from my hands. But after a while, doesn't the salt go away? How many layers of salt must there be if she just keeps licking my hand or my foot or my ankle?
Perhaps I'm a modified Lot's wife. A moving pillar of salt layered with skin and dog spit.
