Kia, (rest her gentle soul) would lick her leg when she was bored... To the point that she had an open would there...

So, she licked her leg so much that it bled? Just to be licking it? That's odd. I know dogs lick their wounds to clean them but I wonder what was going on there. Some sort of dog neurosis?

She was bored. Neurotic is also a real possibility..... She was an interest girl.

And Corgis! Or is it it pronounced Cor-guy, for more than one? Anyways, I like those. They always look so happy.

Cor-gi, welsh for "dwarf dog"

@HeyYou, I was searching around for some information to back up the myth about how a dog's saliva is beneficial to human wounds. It turns out that that's exactly what it is, a myth. You'd be better off with a little hydrogen peroxide to clean that boo-boo.

But I did find something about what your Kia had because it was lumped in with a search for 'dog saliva'. It's known by either lick granuloma or acral lick dermatitis. Exact causes are unknown but it could have began by the dog licking an insect bite or a painful joint then developed into habit. And there are some psychological causes as well, fear, anxiety and compulsive disorder.

There's a wide range of treatments. Topical and oral anti-inflammatory medications, behavior modification and psychopharmacologic medications, even therapeutic laser and acupuncture have been successfully used. It just sounds like that vet didn't put in the work to effectively treat Kia and just gave her the standard cone treatment.

But then again, that was probably years ago.

Anyways, cheers.

Yeah, I know. I was thinking something else entirely. It's stupid, don't ask.

My mother had two poodles, a toy, Precious, and a miniature, Daisy.

Funnily, part of my poodle's pedigree name is Precious in French! She answers to Korra though. My Preciousssss...

Let's revive this thread with some dog jokes. Some of these are bad, I know. Enjoy!

• What breed of dog can jump higher than a building? All breeds can, since buildings can’t jump.
• Why are Dalmatians not considered good at playing hide and seek? Because they are always spotted.
• What do you call a dog magician? A labracadabrador.
• Our dog brings us the newspaper every day… Funny thing is, we’ve never subscribed to any.
• We’ve begun to long for the pitter-patter of little feet, so we bought a dog. It’s cheaper, and you get more feet.
• What breed of dog can jump higher than a building? All breeds can, since buildings can’t jump.
• What do you call a large dog that meditates? Aware wolf.
• When my friend’s dog died, I bought an identical one to try to cheer them up... But it just made them more upset. Do you know what my friend said when I gave the dog to them?
  “What am I supposed to do with two dead dogs ?!”
• A Canadian psychologist is selling a video that teaches you how to test your dog's IQ. Here’s how it works: if you spend $12.99 for the video, your dog is smarter than you.
• When a dog has a fever, what should you feed him? Mustard — it’s the best thing for hot dogs.
• Why did the dog resign from his job? The work was too ruff.
• Two dog owners are arguing about whose pet is smarter. “My dog is so smart,” says the first owner, “that every morning he goes to the store and buys me a sesame seed bagel with chive cream cheese, stops off at Starbucks and picks me up a mocha latte, and then comes home and turns on ESPN, all before I get out of bed.” “I know,” says the second owner. “How do you know ?” the first demands. “My dog told me.”
• What do you call a frozen dog? A pupsicle.
• A dachshund walks into a telegraph office, picks up a blank form, and writes: "Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof." The clerk looks over the paper for a minute before telling the dog, "You know, there are only nine words here. You could add another 'Woof' for the same price." The dachshund shakes his head at the clerk in disbelief then says, "But that would make no sense at all."
• What do you get when you cross a dog with a cougar? A lot of trouble with a postman.
• What happens when a dog loses its tail? It goes to a retail store to buy a new one.
• What's the worst part about it raining cats and dogs? You have to look out for the poodles.
• What does my dog and my phone have in common? They both have collar I.D.
• I dressed my dog up as a cat for Halloween. Now he won't come when I call him.
• I hide photos on my computer of me petting animals at the zoo in a folder named Fireworks and vacuums so my dog won’t find them.
• As the stranger enters a country store, he spots a sign: Danger! Beware of Dog! Inside, he sees a harmless old hound asleep in the middle of the floor. "Is that the dog we're supposed to beware of ?" he asks the owner. "That's him," comes the reply. "He doesn't look dangerous to me. Why would you post that sign ?" "Before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him."
• What was the dog doing all night? He was barking all night without any paws.
• What do chemists' dogs do with their bones? They barium.
• A woman called our airline customer-service desk asking if she could take her dog on board. “Sure,” I said, “as long as you provide your own kennel.” I further explained that the kennel needed to be large enough for the dog to stand up, sit down, turn around, and roll over. The customer was flummoxed: “I’ll never be able to teach him all of that by tomorrow !”
• What did one flea say to the other? "Should we walk, or just take the dog ?"

The last one reminds me of Brian from Family Guy.

• A dog goes into a bar and orders a martini. The bartender says, "You don't see a dog in here drinking a martini very often." The dog says, "At these prices, I'm not surprised."

And that's enough of that. I'm outta here.

Maybe just one more: What did the dog say to the other dog? Let's raise the woof.

I want to comment on this thread, but I don't feel like getting dragged into drama. So, fair winds and calm seas. That's a sailor's parting.

No drama, just dog talk. If you like dogs or have a favourite breed, this is the place!

My dog has learned to catch feathers in mid-air! She loves feathers. When we see a bird I tell her it's covered in dog toys! She has never shown interest in dog toys themselves, but feathers are plentiful and free!
