We have parson russell terrier. She is absolutely happy when we get
back home. She jumps and licks us, then she fetches her favorite toy.
She lick me after bodybuilding. She loves my whole head.

Somewhere I've read that licking by dog (pet) can be also dangerous -
various illnesses (icterus, bacillus, helicobacter etc.). I still
treat dog's saliva and licking as healing. I doubt this could injure
us if we keep our dog clean after walking her. What's your opinion, or
better experience?

Tks for your time.

I think the average door handle is more of a danger.

Recently they've said in radio that the a WC seat is cleaner than a
well-used keyboard of PC :-).
Tks Janet.

I believe that. A public keyboard, like at a library or cyber cafe has
a lot of nasties. So do door handles, shopping cart handles, phones
(one great thing about cell phones is never having to use a public pay
phone again!), remote controls.

Even with all of those germs floating around, being too paranoid can
actually backfire on immunity. Studies show kids that grow up in a
household with pets are LESS likely to develop problems with allergies
to them.

Having had many dogs over many years, currently pack mistress to three, if
licking were dangerous, my whole family would be dead by now.

Yes, I second that. There's also a canis therapy that could never be
created if such danger threaten.

Not only yours :-).

Y'all are making me jealous. Cubbe is not a kissy dog. Sometimes when
I come in and bend over to untie my shoelaces I get a bit of a nuzzle.
Mostly I don't even get that. If you want to get kissed around here,
you have to smear au jus on the injured part.


As for having more to fear from door knobs and shopping cart handles, I
had the unfortunate need to learn how to kill the Winter Vomiting
Disease virus. It turns out that 1 part bleach to 3 parts water is
still an excellent and inexpensive disinfectant. Don't go overboard,
but if something's going around, give light switches and computer
keyboards a spritz. Get into the habit touching the dog, not your own
face. It really does cut down on the contageous diseases.

That was on the news over here in the Uk too.
I let my dogs lick me.

I didn't see the original post, but I'm glad I saw your's, Janet.

I get kisses from many different dogs every week. Occasionally, I feel a
tongue brush my tongue. I don't appreciate that, but so far it hasn't
caused any harm to me--or to them.

When Willie the Pit Bull gets adopted, or killed, I'm going to miss his
kisses. He has covered both of my ears with his mouth. I've looked him
in the eye, as he covered my nose with his mouth. I love that beast!

Having lived long enough, I'd just as soon stop now, as to live without
doggy kisses.

[To the OP: a doggy kiss is far more trustworthy that a human's kiss. At
least, you know where the dog's mouth has been.]
