If you have a dog that licks everything it smells, I wouldn't feel bad about letting the pooch dispose of it.

Here is a dilemma though. You have a really beautiful girlfriend. You go to her house with flowers and candy. You are about to kiss her and her dog licks her mouth first. Do you still kiss her?

1) The dog does it often, and it was not an isolated incident.

2: The dog did the same thing before our last date, and I kissed her.

3: Kiss her then get tested for roundworms.

Of course I’d kiss her. But I’d be relying on that other health axiom. You know, the one about a dog’s mouth being cleaner than a human’s. Has that one been tested yet?

We had a 240 pound mastif and a 135 pound great dane that lived in the house. The rule was if you could pick it up before a dog got it, it was safe to eat. Most dropped food never even made it to the floor.

Did you ever stop to think that the reason the dog licked her face just after you got there was that the dog didn’t want to lick her face after YOU kissed her?

If she’d kissed her cat on the mouth she’d be germier.

I don’t know about a dog’s mouth being cleaner. I have a friend whose dog has a habit of picking up kitty turds with his mouth.

Fine. If that’s the way the dog is going to act, see if he gets any table scraps from ME!

Yes. Give her lips a minute for the dog lick to dry and then kiss her. Would you kiss her if the mailman just licked her lips?

"Say what you will about the relative cleanliness of the canine mouth vs. the human, I'd rather be French-kissed by a human being than a dog any day.

Clemson University should get on the research to finally prove that calories evaporate out of broken cookies and sliced cake. I’d support giving them a government grant for that.

I would have some serious questions for her and the mailman before proceeding.
