She's about 18 months.

How old is she? She might have an infection, or something stuck in her gums between her teeth. If she's a puppy she could just be teething. My dog did that when she had a piece of plastic stuck between her teeth. Hope this helps....

It's probably the same reason my husband drools on my pillow all the time.
But seriously, drooling can be caused by psychological events like fear and anxiety.
It can also be from periodontal disease in response to mouth pain. Check her mouth thoroughly for gum disease and any foreign objects.
If it continues bring her to the vet this week for a check up. Is she up to date on her vaccinations?

Check out the inside of her mouth with a flashlight and see if you can see any abscesses or anything like that. In any event, just call the vet and ask if she should be seen.
