My dogs lick my face, they eat off my fork, and we have all drank out of the same water bottle.

Those are my babies.

There’ not a plate in my house that hasn’t been licked by a dog.

Is this done before or after they eat their poop?

My wife's sister comes up from California and spends a week or two with us every year or so. She has poor personal hygiene; does not pick up after herself with us or at home, has bad habits and seems to always be complaining about symptoms from type of contagious illness. We frequently come down with a cold or feel under the weather ourselves within a few days of her arrival. This is not to mention that she has half a dozen cats and seems to bring their fleas with her.

So, I don't mind when my wife lets our wiener dog lick something off of her spoon. But I get concerned when she shares silverware food and drinks with her sister. The article says “Only 16.4 percent of the microbes identified are shared between dogs and humans.” The same no doubt goes for most of the bacteria and viruses that make us sick. The fact is you are far less likely to pick up an illness from the dog that you live with than another human that you don't. When ever I see the dog licking her butt and my wife is around, I do point it out and say, “now go give your momma a big lick on the face.”

As long as you don’t all drink out of the same toilet!
