Just as I was posting that, another question came to mind....
Why does my dog like to lick my finger after I have cleaned out some ear wax or tried to clear out the water from my ear after a shower? She also likes to lick my finger after I clean her ears.
Is there nutritional value to ear wax (maybe a daris dad question...) and if so, how much do I have to eat to live longer (something I would consider).
