What a great thread! What's really funny is that I never considered myself a dog person before Tucker. I mean obviously I love Yorkies but I was always very germ-phobic and would get grossed out so easily by dogs and the things other people would do with their dogs. Well, along comes Tucker and I am rubbing my face all over him, kissing him from head to toe (and his little feet are the best!), letting him kiss me all over, snuggling in bed together, etc. I don't wash after any of it unless I am about to cook but that's been a habit of mine even before Tucker. Other dogs still gross me out. When I go to the dog park I pet them all over but I would never kiss them and if I see slobber, I'm done! And then, as soon as I get in the car I have to use hand sanitizer and scrub once I get home. But with Tucker, it's no holds barred!
