Dachshund Gives Doxie Sister a New Hairdo in the Cutest Possible Way
Long John has some explaining to do. The Dachshund was caught near the scene of his Doxie sister's *ahem* unconventional hair appointment. And now their owner is looking for answers.
We must admit, Long John looked guilty in the video his dad shared online. Hmmmm, very suspicious behavior if you ask us.
Jimmy Stoffey had to call his Dachshund in for questioning after he saw the state of his other dog's head. She was looking a little...rough, shall we say. It seemed likely that Long John had something to do with it.
"Long John, were you licking her head?" the man asked. Suspiciously, the Doxie wouldn't make eye contact. He started trembling too, which really had us questioning everything. Seems like he might've been licking her head. Of course we have no real way of knowing what happened, so we'll let it slide this time. But we're keeping an eye on you Long John.
People in the comments section had their suspicions too. "'Shaking in fear' 'No I was just styling her hair,'" joked one person. "Long John — I cannot with his name and her freakin' mohawk," someone else added. "She was like that when he found her," another commenter teased. "Morgan Freeman voice: 'Long John was in fact licking her head,'" kidded another commenter.
How to Stop Your Dog From Licking You
There's nothing as divisive between pet owners as their dog's licking habits. Licking can be your dog's way of showing affection, but that doesn't mean that everyone appreciates the gesture. Is there a line when a little licking becomes too much licking? Yes. But it's important to understand why dog's lick in the first place.
It's been said before that dogs use their noses and mouths to explore the world. Licking can be a way that your dog says "I love you." It can also be their way of getting attention, soothing themselves when they're stressed, or it might be that you just taste good to them! These are all good things, but if you're starting to feel like your dog is constantly licking, it could be a sign they're stressed or anxious. It can sometimes mean they're hurt.
First figure out if there is something deeper going on. If you're simply not a fan of licking there are ways to deter your pup. You can move away from your dog when they start to lick you — you could even leave the room. That way they'll get the message that you don't want to be licked.
Distraction is another way to get your dog to stop. Something mentally engaging will get your dog to leave you be. Upping your dog's exercise for the day can help alleviate their stress. If your dog simply thinks you're tasty, well — make sure you shower after doing any physical activity. They might like the taste of your salty skin!
Again, it should be noted that dogs lick because they love us. It's just a sign that they care.
