Licking Metal?
« on: February 01, 2005, 02:17:37 PM »
Hi All,

I'm not sure if any of you have come across this with your pups? Daisy has started licking anything metal in the last few days?  :blink:  In our local park there is an area where some swings have been replaced and there is a chunk of brown metal sticking up from the grass, Daisy licks it with all her might! She has also started licking my metal garden chair leg and the bottom of the washing machine?  :huh:

I'm sure it must be because she's missing some vitamin or something in her diet but she gets fed Burns minibites mixed with Naturediet twice a day and she gets given lots of bits of fresh veggies and fresh meat sometimes too?

I'm ignoring OH's comments that she's just a weirdo!!!   :o  
With Love, Toni & Woody xx

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

How old is she? Is she still teething? Oscar chews anything metal with his current favourite being the legs of the ironing board on the rare occasions when I do the ironing! :lol:

He also likes the bars on the baby gate, the brass knobs on the cooker and the fancy black iron bits around the edge of my coffee table.....and does he understand what 'No' means??????  :rolleyes:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

She's about the same age as Oscar then and he's chewing more than ever at the moment - but he definitely chews....don't think he knows how to lick without using his teeth! :rolleyes:

Oscar's birthday is 15th June ...when's Daisy's?
