But does she lick your butt?

We do the same as well .... but that's the only taint I would go near ... I don't like the idea of getting involved with any other human or any other species or any combination or quantity in between.

Mine does the same! Disgusting little fucker. He tries to eat my dirty undies too and eats his own vomit. When he comes up and gently gives me a little wet kiss on the face, I friggin melt. Some things are just worth it I guess. There are probably worse ways to die. I try not to think about it too much (we are all getting pretty good at that these days as a coping mechanism aren't we?)

My dogs like to go into the trash too, so you know what I do? I keep the trash bins in cupboards and closed rooms.

They'd also drink out of the toilet, but you know what I do? I close the lid.

I get that with kids it would be hard to be consistent with these things, but there really are some very simple solutions.

Do you think those things permanently become a part of their mouth or something?

How do you feel about kissing people? Think of the things they’ve done in the past… This doesn’t really hold water.

Perhaps part of the reason the idea that “a dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s mouth” came to be so widely believed is that we don’t typically swap diseases with our dogs when we swap saliva. You are not going to get the flu from a dog kiss, but you might get it from kissing a human loved one.

Most of the bacteria in your dog’s mouth are not zoonotic, which means you probably won’t get a disease from a big old doggy kiss. There are exceptions to this. Dogs that are fed a raw diet are at an increased risk of contracting salmonella, which can be spread to humans, and you really don’t want to share kisses with a dog that regularly raids the litter box.

In other words, kissing your dog is less risky than kissing another human

Good luck out there!
