Kittles doesn't lick while we are petting him. However, the minute we are done, he's licking himself where we pet him. I guess he thinks we messed up his hair! lol
You are such a butt patter! I'm thinking about my neighbor's dogs. Scratch right behind the tail or on the tummy and they have a reflex action, like lip licking or leg twitching.

Yeah, I remember the video in the exam room with him running around. Just a special quirk of a very special boy. Just another special guest in your heart.

He does it when I pet him too, but it's kinda hard to film with one hand and keep him in the frame at the same time.
