Somedays it’s harder than others to get the necessary self-care happening. Especially when the 4-legged one is at cross-purposes to rehydrating one’s skin.

What is it about dogs and body lotion?

Bubble bath too. My dogs always loved to eat the bubbles.

I had forgotten about this quirk before applying the lotion in Bowser’s presence.

Note to self: future applications in the bathroom only, with the door firmly shut against intruders.
We hope you have plenty of self-care this long Labour Day weekend.
Rock on, and keep those elbows up!

Oh yes. Penny likes to lick drops of water off my legs when I come out of the shower.
And any dog I ever had would eat the bubbles when I took a bubble bath! 😆 Thanks, Dawn 💕
You probably tasted like a coconut cream pie, he couldn’t resist.
😉
To be fair, that lotion has a nice smell. Thanks, Rivergirl 💕
Maybe it tasted like a margarita?
Probably closer to a pina colada 😉. Thanks, Kate 💕
He’s too darn cute
He’s adorable! Thanks, Sheree 💕
Dogs are all so predictable when there is a good smelling lotion around.
That they are! Thanks, Jean 💕
My cat used to lick my legs after I put a particular brand of lotion on. I can’t imagine that it tasted good, but for some reason, she liked it. Hard to know exactly what’s going on in their furry little heads. 😺🐶
It is hard to know! Oh, cat tongues!!! Like getting a light sanding on your legs 😏. Thanks, Janis 💕
That’s a hard ass no from me – no licking my legs or hands. I’m not a germaphobe but just can’t stand the wet tongue. Grosses me out, but obviously, I am not the majority in this. My kids’ dogs have finally figured out, “Don’t lick the old lady.”🤪
🤣 No matter how tasty she seems 🤣. Thanks, Bernie 💕
My! I have never had a dog who licked lotion or other body stuff… clearly I’ve been missing out. How cute, but also – yes to that locked bathroom door.
Bowser always makes me smile, Deb. At first, I would think the flavour of the lotion makes a difference. I suspect it does not make a difference at all. Bowser likes being close to you. 💕Erica
I think you are right, Erica! We had a very happy reunion a couple of hrs ago when I came home from being 9 days away, and now he’s back to hanging out with me all evening! Thanks 💕
