| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/6/2007 7:29:24 PM | | I used to think dog kissers were pretty whacko and it was a turn off. Until I met one of those whackos who was so wonderful that I could care less that she kisses her dog. I know, I'm totally nuts. | |

| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/6/2007 8:33:28 PM | OP: I am totally with you on this one! Ewwwwwww ! I see this too and I'm like 'Did you not just see your dog licking that other dogs ass 5 seconds ago and now he is licking your face and mouth?' Yeh, yeh I don't want to hear any crap about dogs mouths being so clean and all that jazz. It is just gross. 
Edit: I was just reading the thread a bit as I knew this would come up and I was right. People, People, People - Where the HELL do some of you get off comparing dogs ass on your lips to your sexual partners? Ie: oral sex and the partners they have had before you...Not that there are not some very unsavory characters out there who might indeed be on dog ass level but If you choose to mess with such people that is your problem eh? I do not want some dog licking it's balls, some other dogs ass, it's own ass and then licking my face. NOR am I interested in said dog doing the above mentioned and then licking the lips of a guy I was with and then having that guy turn around and plant a big wet one on me! NO THANKS!
But hey, that's just me. | |

| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/7/2007 5:21:08 AM | i agree that if someone is kissing their dog and its tongue is all up in their mouth licking all around the owners mouth that is gross...
i have seen this many a time and yes a dog does lick its ass...and so that is nasty.
so i agree with you : /
and if any guy even thought of kissing me after his dog has been kissing him and licking all round his mouth ...trust me that would not happen..
and i think this is what the op means not just a lil peck on the dogs head!

| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/7/2007 5:33:28 AM | The whole dogs tongue in the mouth is a little extreme - but to give innocent kisses to your dog should not be looked on as offensive or gross - there are some people who are nasty to kiss-
My oral sex remark was actually just to enlighten you alittle bit - we all put things in our mouth that sometimes maybe we should wash with some antibacterial soap before they are allowed in LOL!!! Anyway - I wasnt sure what you meant here so - I took it upon my self to give you something else to think about -LOL!!
Oh and stop picking that hair out of your teeth!!!LMAO!!
Animal owners are a different breed of people to some and we see our animals in a different light then you - thats all - We mean you no harm - dont look at them - thats all. My dog could not go out in public - he did not play well with others so his kisses were in private - and He had a black tongue!! - and I avoided that tongue at all costs - But he was the sweetest guy in the world.
Oh and people who are on dog ass level - great comment!!! HAHAHA!! lots of them around - that was good MARILYNIZED - Im still laughing!!!
Oh yeah - my opinion - have to say that now. | |

| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/7/2007 6:17:19 AM | I'm not really a dog person. My mother had one she allowed to terrorize me as a child. It had its space and I was not allowed access.
But I have a son and he loves dogs so I allowed his dad to get him one as a pet. I am sure many of you parents out there realize who gets to do a lot of the dog chores with kids involved!

My son's boxer and I have become fast friends and she follows me everywhere, is very protective of us, and very friendly. She sees us as part of her pack. She will completely "groom" my teenage son's hair (which is great, because he is at THAT stage). He has taught her to give him a slurp with her tongue where ever he gives "the sign".
I, on the other hand, have taught her firmly "no kisses" when she gets that slurpy, affectionate look in her eyes. Then she will stick her tongue out in a big slurp and lick her lips as if to say, "Heck, you don't know what you're missing!"
Dogs are very smart. So don't put any blame on dog kisses on the dogs...I bet the dog have a secret telepathic PoF forum where there is a topic: "Do you let your people kiss you?" I bet there are some people your dog wouldn't kiss. (I particularly liked the aliens spotting us cleaning up poo comment!!!)
(Dog developed telepathy because they didn't develop opposable thumbs, I'm sure.) | |

| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/7/2007 7:01:36 AM | This stigma against a dog licking your face comes, I am pretty sure, from a disease that is very rare, at least in my part of the world. It is a parasite called echinococcus, a tapeworm. Dogs get it from eating the feces or entrails of ruminants, and the dog becomes the definitive host, which means it sheds the eggs in it's feces. Short zoology lecture: tapeworms are largely harmless to their definitive hosts (the host where sexual reproduction takes place). Tapeworms are murder on their intermediate hosts. The problem with echinococcus? Humans can be intermediate hosts. The problem is really the feces of the dog, which is where the eggs are shed. So you'd be more likely to get it from contact with dog feces followed by improper handwashing, than from any theoretical transfer from the dog licking it's butt and then you.
So it's a very nasty but very rare disease, and city dogs like mine aren't going to be a source of it. Country dogs that might eat sheep, cow or deer feces or dogs used for sheepherding are the only realistic sources of this disease. And in the USA, you'd be more likely to be struck by lightning than to get this disease.
As a veterinary technician, I have been called upon to perform mouth to nose respiration on a dog that has gone into respiratory arrest. I did it without a second thought, and would do it again. So if that makes any of you girls not want to date me, that is unfortunate.
Edit: a couple other diseases you can get from dog feces would be aberrant infection with roundworm larvae if you don't keep your dog wormed, or possibly salmonella if you are one of those fools who feed your dog raw chicken. I suppose these could theoretically be transferred by the dog licking it's butt and then your face--but I have never heard of any cases of it happening. | |

| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/7/2007 8:20:23 AM | | For all those who wouldn't let their dogs lick their face or kiss their dogs anywhere near their face, what in the world do you do when you have a dog that slobbers? Most big dogs slobber, some massive amounts; and even some little dogs do...so if you'all can't handle doggie kisses, yours or theirs, then what would you do if a big dog slobbered on you? I had a Great Pyrenees, and though the females don't slobber as much as the males, she still did her share...but there was nothing like hugging her or snuggling on the couch with her, even though she did hog the whole couch, lol...but she sure kept my feet warm ;) | |
|
| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/7/2007 8:29:27 AM | >>Also, once playing, and petting with an animal - they better wash before wanting to touch my pink parts
Wow...if you mean the pink part I think you do...I really couldn't pet my dog first? Without washing hands between? Just how clean do you think you are down there? (and how dirty do you think my dog is?)
That's just nuts.
I guess us dog people just have to stick with other dog people. | |
|
| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/7/2007 9:07:02 AM | | I think it gross to let your pet lick anywhere on the face, even if it's just on the cheek. I've seen a few pet owners that will share their food with the dog & I think that's kinda sick too. There is no way I would let a dog lick my ice cream of my spoon & then take a bite for myself with that same spoon as I've seen a friend do. I find it annoying & more than a lil gross when dogs try to show affection by "kissing" someone even on the hand. Myabe that's why I don't own one lol. | |

| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/7/2007 1:24:17 PM | oh Smith... barf!!!!!!!
Bubbles said it best...
Dogs eat poop Dogs lick their balls Dogs sniff each other's butts
No dog kisses for me! BLECH!!!
P.S. I have a kitty cat who I kiss all the time... on the top of his white head.... with red lipstick! Not on the mouth... Don't know which neighborhood kitty he's been tomming with lately!
 | |
|
| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/7/2007 1:50:45 PM | ok...but if your dog needed CPR...I bet you'd want me there. (Or cat, if you don't have a dog)
PS, >>Not on the mouth... Don't know which neighborhood kitty he's been tomming with lately!
Cats don't do oral. Well, I've seen a few kittens do it--but I don't think they knew what they were doing. | |

| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/7/2007 1:54:05 PM | I realize that a dog's mouth is supposed to be cleaner than most things... but ewwww gross!
Is it just me but when I see someone share their food with their dog (e.g. sharing a spoon, taking a bite after your dog took one, etc) it literally makes me sick to my tummy. | |
|
| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/7/2007 1:58:51 PM | You know what--I've told you what the risks are, and how small they are. I think you all are just flashing back to some time when you were a little kid, and your mommy told you not to let the dog lick you because "it's dirty." You sure aren't basing it on reality.
Good thing she didn't tell you black people were "dirty"--or asians, or jews. | |

| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/7/2007 2:51:59 PM | Not all dogs 'slobber'. And speaking of childhood memories, the grossest slobberer in my history, was a disreputable uncle. Now him I wouldn't even let near me for a peck on the head! And as for clean, in any objective contest, she would come out ahead of 90% of the people I have known. How many people's feet smell like Fritos, that you know?
Any one, who has had a happy, friendly dog, learns that at certain times, it is wise to keep one's mouth firmly shut, and head tipped down, to avoid any unnecessary intimacies. Rather the same technique I have used at parties(G) | |

I swear Im goin to lose it
(I dont want to turn this into a dog bashing thread, but come on DOGS...slap some sense into your pets and and send them to their rooms if they dont clean up after you!@) | |
|
| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/9/2007 5:11:23 PM | This is yet another reason I have cats
However my last dog was an English Bulldog...talk about sloppy nasty licks....slobber slobber

| people who own dogs and kiss them Posted: 2/9/2007 7:02:43 PM | | agree it's gross,I used to own a shitzu and the thing would eat it's own .. then would want affection so had to get rid of it could not warm up to an animal that ate it's own feces. (a good family adopted it) I think if the dog want's affection then pat it's head or play ball but leave the kissing out yuck (sorry i'm not a dog lover really unless they are really really trained well) | |

So you have cats? Did you train them to go in the toilet or do they go do their business in a littler box, walk all over it and then hop up on your kitchen counters? Pregnant women should not change litter boxes because of Toxoplasmosis. This is a common infection, evidence of previous infection can be found in 20 to 40% of adults (without necessarily causing any symptoms). But it can be devastating to an infant if the mom contracts the disease during pregnancy (especially during the first trimester). The symptoms of an acute infection (in the mom or an adult) are mostly flu-like: fatigue, sore throat, swollen glands, fever, rash, and blurry vision. If you develop such symptoms, see your doctor or midwife since it is possible to diagnose an acute maternal infection with blood tests.
Cats commonly carry the microbe and it is passed readily in their stools, therefore, stay away from the litter box.
I have nothing against cats, I am allergic to them, as well as rabbits because of the dander, but don't try and claim cats are any cleaner than dogs. It just ain't true.
As far as those that want to talk about slobbery, I owned a beautiful Rott who I swear to god could get this great big gobs of goo hanging from her mouth. I took her to the vet and yes, they can operate on a dog to reduce this. Just like they can de-bark a dog etc. | |
