Re: OK, kind of -- dog-proof lotion!

The dog we had before the present dog loved to lick the lotion off my feet, legs, hands, etc. But his true love was a bar of soap! I have a cleaning lady that comes every other week & twice over the years that we had old dog (Sean), she left a bar of soap on the side of the bathtub & he ate it both times - of course, we didn't see it happen. The first time he woke me up at about 3 in the morning, whimpering. I got up to take him out & he didn't make it, he stopped in the dining room & threw up - SOAPSUDS!! The 2nd time it happened, I don't think there were any soapsuds. It's too bad they aren't able to associate their behavior with the end result - hours later.

Present doggie (Liam), sometimes licks lotion I put on, but doesn't seem to be addicted to it as Sean was.

I finally found a lotion that works for me, smells OK, doesn't stay
greasy or slick, doesn't show up on quilting or any other sort of
needlework, and most important -- it doesn't taste good to the dog!
Clara is a constant companion and a lovely critter, but drives me
bonkers with licking any sort of cream or moisturizer on my skin.
Thus, finding one I like but she does not is wonderful! It is
Crabtree & Evelyn's Lavender Body Lotion. If your critters
continually try to lick your lotion, you might find success with this
one.
