OHHHH YEAHHHH i DO ALL THOSE x2 I have 2 babies so its 2x's the licks of my icecream I have one on each side going at it...when I am giving fruit or veggies as treats Bella snubs sometimes she just has moods...she will chew em up and spit em out and I will eat them.....(bet I got a few ewwws then lol) I have never even thought of washing my hands after handling my babies....I do for other dogs but not mine. Bellas favorite place to sit was on my head front paws on the pillow....yep I was a place to rest her butt. when I have a jolly rancher (just cherry) i will stick ot out of my mouth a lil and she licks it 3-4 times I know its not good for her but 3-4 licks cant be that bad. I do that for diggy now too.
I have taken a bath with bella too my sister sat and waited for her to be done to blow dry her....she likes that right away she gets cold...
lol and last but not least If she poops outside and it gets stuck in her hair....YES I will bare hand it and pull it out for her she will not move and is petrified if there is one lil poop ball on her ....I admit I do wash my hands after that though.....
