Do You Let Your Dogs Lick Your Face?

[OSoSwift]

Not all the time but the cats lick the icecream bowl..............

Sometimes if I have forgotten to wash their bowls they get one of ours for tea. All the bowls go into the dishwasher to be cleaned

Another question, how many people let their dogs clean their plates after they have finished eating? I do it all the time, though I never tell my visitors, because they might be grossed out. :laugh:

My kids know about it, but they have grown up with it & now my daughter does the same with her dogs.

Yep, this is something I do, I even let sh!t lips Tag lick them. It's called the lick cycle here and it makes washing dishes easier because all the solids are already removed. :laugh: I think I wash them thoroughly enough to get rid of the potential worm eggs, germs etc. Sometimes I joke and tell them they've done such a good job I can put the dishes straight back in the cupboard. Sometimes I wonder if I might have actually done that on occasion by mistake :laugh:

Pots and pans get licked out too, Puck cannot relax if he knows there's a pot or pan on the stove that hasn't been licked. He's constantly on edge and as soon as I stand up he runs to the kitchen and points at the stove with his nose, as if to say dont forget that frypan still has to be licked.

We have the official 'dog rinse cycle'. It's the only housework the boys actually do, so we reckon they have to contribute in some way.

The other night I had a roasting pan that was quite baked hard and they both worked on it, licking madly madly for about 30 mins. Their poor tongues must have been quite sore by the end!

As much as I adore my dogs, there is no way they get to lick my face. I know where their noses and tongues have been. They are very affectionate and this is shown in other ways. They don't get to lick dishes or share cutlery either. Doesn't mean I love them or they me any less.

I don't care - I touch worse things on the pole on the train.

I ticked sometimes. Bosco is not a big licker, but I have taught him to 'kiss', so if I ask for a kiss, he will give me one. I don't rush to wash my face afterwards.

I don't see it as a big deal, but that's just me.

Oh, and Bozzy is the official plate cleaner too. One day my mum was over, and I gave him a plate to lick clean, then made a joke that the washing had been done, and went to put it back in the cupboard. I was quite surprised that she believed me :laugh: Of course I wash them properly before putting them away lol
