| Ziva, Abby and the big dog have their own dishes- but I see my DH and DS let them lick the milk out of their cereal bowl. They do all go into the dishwasher together- between the detergent and hot water I'm not to concerned about either one of us passing germs around. I do let Ziva lick off my yogurt spoon without a second thought... |

| I gueses the squeamish wouldn't want to go to a drive-through ice cream place with Lollie and me. I usually get a vanilla/chocolate twist. Lollie gets the vanilla and I get the chocolate. |

| I let them eat off our plates all the time..of course they are rinsed and go into the dishwasher. I often bath Remy in the kitchen sink. I used to not because I worried about germs. I started thinking of how germing it was to rinse off a chicken etc.... I just clean up really well afterwards.

| I serve my dogs their food in our bowls and saucers. I don't think it's that big of deal. They get washed and sanitized in the dishwasher. I do have some friends/acquaintances that would have issues with this, but I would rather eat after my dogs than those friends. |

| My dogs have their own dishes, but I always wash them in my sink etc... Once when I was visiting my aunts I made the mistake of washing out their water bowl in her sink and she had a fit! Of course she didn't say anything to me, but complained to my mother. I don't understand it... that's what sinks/dishwashers are for to clean.

| When it was just Chibi he ate out of Asian rice bowls, they were pretty, I''d wash them with everything else. Now I have two dogs they upgraded to real dog bowls but still wash with everything else. Heck if I was out of bowls I'd probably let them eat off our dinner plates. I rather share germs with my dogs then some people I know!

| I agree, people can be to freakin' weird and obsessed with hygiene. I think most of our dogs are cleaner than many people, and besides there isn't much they contribute to the germ pool that's gonna harm us anyway. Hey, I've gotten the occasional unwanted French kiss from dogs and am still here alive & kickin!

| Jess sometimes eats out of my crème brulee ramekins, they are the perfect size. Since I NEVER make crème brulee I figured oh well she might as well enjoy them... |

| My relatives have real issues with me and my dogs....even if all dishes are washed in the dishwasher, on the "sterilize" setting, they are absolutely repulsed that I use the same saucers on occasion, to give mine little bites of some kind of treat...like a dollop of cottage cheese, etc. It makes them ill to think I wash dog bowls in with the dishes we eat off! And the other day, I happened to mention that my next washing machine was going to have to be the largest tub I could find, because I am tearing my washing machine up washing my washable pee pads in the washing machine....now, NOT with my familys clothes, towels, etc....separate wash, same machine was enough to absolutely gross my cousin completely out! I pre wash the pads in a wash tub of bleash water outside, wring the pads out bring them in and wash them in the washing machine! Wont even get into keeping my dogs containers of cottage cheese in our fridge! They dont eat out of the container....I scoop out the cottage cheese with a clean spoon, I do write DOGS on the container just to keep my son from eating all the cottage cheese! So, I understand right where you are coming from!!! |
