Why does my dog lick water off my legs after a shower?
Is this common? He's not thirsty, he has water available to him at all times.. and it's every night, both my boyfriend and my legs. As soon as the shower goes off he darts into the bathroom to get to us. Weird?

Actually for dogs it's not that weird at all. Both my beagles do it if I let them. It's a subservient and almost motherly gesture. I love you, you should be clean and dry is what he's thinking. If you don't like it close the dog out of the bathroom until you finish drying off. Otherwise think that he loves you and wants you to be happy. I lightly discourage mine from doing it but don't fuss at them. It's very insulting and hurts their feelings because to them they were trying to do a very nice thing for you and are giving you power over them.
