No way jose! I've never let my dogs kiss me or my kiddos.. it is funny tho, they get as close as they can and just stare into my eyes. But no kisses gross!

Buster doesn't get to do my face neither, so he takes it out on my leg's. It's weird having to walk room to room with a dog's tongue stuck to the back of my leg.

I had one try to start that, but I made him stop.. so he would lick the other dogs faces instead, which they also didnt appreciate! Actually when these guys were puppies, (they are just into adulthood now), they would be little lick maniacs, and I broke out in hives that wouldn't go away, turns out I'm very allergic!. So it's a good thing I have never let my dogs do that anyhow, not realizing it.

Little chicks have moved into their new house, it's so cute! The side of the cheapo bunny hutch I had went up about 5", so there was no mess. There are no solid sides on this one, just wire, so I'm going to have to buy some plexiglass.

Caveman does have a serious side as well.
I would suggest one of these since you are keeping your pets inside.

I do own this same HEPA purifier, although, do not run it very often, just as needed.

I already have those in every room, plus the 3" thick ac filters... funny, I do fine indoors.. it's the outside that makes me unable to breathe! I'll need to replace my ac system next year, so I'm investigating electrostatic (I think that's what it's called) systems to cut back on the dust.

I do plan on giving the chickens a quick wet down bath per week once they are grown a bit more.

I have a large room filter for the family room.. but I am thinking I might add another smaller one right next to the chicks, so it catches dust before it goes through the room. Plus the larger systems are more expensive, might save some wear and tear.

It's funny that I have any pets at all.. I hate messes and smells once the kids move out of the nest, I'll probably be pet free. Well minus my little parrot, we have about 30 years left together.

So I am using pine bedding with the chicks.. but its messy, which is why I stopped using it w my parrot. With her, I use corn cob pellets.. the packaging lists a bunch of birds it's safe for, as well as small animals. Have any of you tried that, or know of a reason I shouldn't use it?

Good afternoon AZ. Hope you're all having a great weekend.

@igorsMistress just finally got laid off (due to lack of work) and found out already I qualify for that $600/week PUA so... weekend is going better than it should seem
