I don't know why, but Oliver always licks Otis's ears. Otis usually doesn't want anything to do with Oliver, but he ALWAYS lets him lick his ears! Ollie is a licker, he loves to lick my legs, neck, face, whatever! Should I stop him? They both seem to enjoy it! Kinda gross. Do your babies do this?

I would check an make sure there isn't an ear infection or at the very least clean the dogs ears out with an ear wash - if you don't already do this. I believe they do this when they sense or smell something isn't right.

Mine will even wash each others faces if I haven't.

Mine don't do that, maybe he is been affectionate this way or like yorkiesmile said may have somenthing going on with his ears

Yes, I've made sure Otis's ears are nice and clean. Ollie is just a little obsessed with licking! He loves loves loves to lick anything and everything! It's pretty funny to see him licking Otis's ears.
