Are licks kisses?

Sometimes. My Border Collie will "smooch" where he just gives a quick, single lick. But, both he and my Papillon will try to lick when they have no intention of showing affection. Both adore the scent of my body lotion and try to lick me when I wear it. Both of the dogs lick me out of boredom. If I'm sitting down and don't have shoes on, they try to lick my feet. Strange little creatures.
so really.. sometimes it's a kiss, most of the time it's just to be annoying or taste the citrus-scented lotion.

I see it as social grooming - sometimes Mojo does it simply to re-taste us, and sometimes, like last night, he's offering comfort (i had a bad anxiety attack last night and towards the end Mojo came up on the bed and started to lick my hands and arms which helped calm me down enough to sleep.)
Mojo is also very intent on cleaning any bleeding wounds my bf and I may incur. He won't leave us alone until he's allowed to take a look at them himself, and lick them. I have found that when I allow him to do this in conjunction with the usual washing and disinfecting - I heal a lot faster. He is pretty good at getting every thing "clean."
Mojo is a pretty nurturing creature... as a whole.

LOL thats soo true about licking our wounds clean..
I've had to push Riot away from my mouth every single time I sit down now. I recently got my wisdom teeth out and he insists on trying to shiove his big nose in my mouth and lick where my teeth were lol Obviously.. hes NOT allowed to do that lmao Thats just gross and would more then likely cause infection lol
Riot always "gives kisses" when hes happy or when he actually needs comfort. Whenever he feels nervous, I put my face near his and talk to him and he gives nervous kisses.
