A little over a year ago when I got my first Yorkie, I said I would never, never, NEVER, kiss the dog on his mouth or let the dog kiss my mouth. What can I say? Things change. They are as much my children as my children are. I know what they lick and if they are doing that just before they want to kiss, then I refuse, give it time for me to forget or if I don't see it, well that's a different story. LOL I have shared an ice cream with them, and they take the food off my fork very daintily. But let me tell you! That looooong tongue goes into my mouth or up my nose and they wonder what happened. I will kiss and kiss and kiss but when those tongues go where I don't want them I yank those babies away from my face and say NO! Actually that's not working too well, guess I'm going to have to startle them. At meal time we have a very bad habit of letting the dogs lick the dishes after we eat. Some of it's not all bad tho, the kids use paper plates and those get thrown away. HA! Sylvia |
