yes! Spencer is a drooler and a licker. When he plays with other dogs, they get soaked...its embarassing!

My Harley is now 12 weeks old, and we have had him home for a week now. He constantly licks, drools, and/or chews everything. I mean everything. It's like he can't ever have enough chew toys. He has to make everything his chew toy!! Arm rests, the corner of my computer desk, my mouse pad (and I'm just naming what he is using at this very moment, sitting on my lap). He loves to lick arms, feet, and ears. Our other dog, Bo, is Harley's favorite chew toy. He is in love with Bo's tail (probably because he doesn't have a tail of his own to chew on).

Glad to hear we're not the only ones. As far as licking Molly loves ears. The cats don't want their ears cleaned by her so she has to hold them down. Molly has even tried to clean baby birds and rabbits.

Oh yes!!!! My dogs don't drool BUT they lick everyone they can! Sometimes other dogs ears but usually people and get very sneaky as to giving a quick lick to the face....

Oh my, Sparty is a major drooler! Big, bubbly gobs of drool if you are eating something he would really like(most things). I tell him that one of the things I like about corgis is that they are a dry mouthed breed but he is unimpressed! Buffy (who is gone now) had little tiny lady like drips but Sparty's are huge. Izzy doesn't drool at all but she uses pitiful looks to let you know she is coveting your food. Really she is probably more effective but Sparty is not going to change. Fortunately they know they have to keep their distance when we eat and I warn guests ahead of time that they are better off not looking at Sparty while they are eating!
We seem to have escaped the licking gene except on special occasions.

Loki drools a lot, sits there panting, soaking the floor. Also licks feet, legs, anything within reach

merlin only drools if you've got food and he's really worked up about it.

he DOES lick endlessly, it's neurotic, really. He licks in his sleep. I kick him off the bed because he'll be laying there just lick lick lick licking all over my bedspread. It's gross.

Brody would spend his life licking if we let him. He got much better about licking his paws after we changed food. Seems part of the issue was an allergy. But... that doesn't stope him licking the rug, furniture, toes, hands, arms, you name it he'll lick it. He really only drools when there's potential food involved. Lilly doesn't drool, and doesn't lick as much as Brody, but she will also lick him... clean his ears and face, she tries to clean kitty's also, but that doesn't go over so well.
