Now that's funny.

My Aussie is quite curious as well. The good thing about Aussies--at least all of the ones I know--is that they don't lick! They just sniff, even when right in your face.

That reminds me of the little country boy who was late to school, and when querried by his teacher, told a tale of fox sounds in the hen house the prevous night. When his Paw--"who sleeps raw"--went to investigate with his shot gun and Ole Blue the hound dog, it happened that Ole Blue nudged Paw with his cold nose. The boy had been plucking chickens all morning.

Just be glad you weren't similarly armed.
