I cleared some brush of my back fence line on Wednesday. I've never had poison ivy before, I even thought I was resistant to it because I've been in it so much over the years and never got it. WRONG! I have several spots on the insides of my forearms. Can my boys catch it from me. When I hold them and love on them I know they are coming in contact with it. Also, when we woke up this morning Oliver licked my arm right on the spot before I realized what he was doing!!! Aaaagggghhhh! I've never heard of dogs getting it, but I wanted to see what everyone thought.
