One i met always insisted on licking the inside of my mouth like a wolf. Kind of gross.

Wondered if this was common, or just isolated behavior

My Mathilde has been nicknamed Lickitung as she can't stop/won't stop trying to lick our faces especially mouths, while her brother Oliver does this disconcertingly slow lazy lick on our arms.

Sounds like a food test :D

I own a doxie that'll lick the inside of your nose if you don't stop him. He's not allowed to give me more than one kiss at a time because of it.

My little dox knows I hate face kisses and so he will lay across my mouth and rub his face all over my head and in my hair most of the time. He hates getting in trouble so he finds a way to do similar things that don't make me upset (no, I absolutely don't yell at him unless I have to. He just knows "no").

My dog does this too when I get home from work, just a smothering of love. I think they want you to smell like them :P that’s my theory

I’m pretty sure that’s more of a dog thing in general. I am no expert though. :)

Sure, but the only time I've seen the behavior was in a documentary about wolves, and this dog, never experienced it otherwise
