How Many of You Let Your Pets Lick the Dishes?

While I am at it, anyone know why this one is called a church key?

I don't know, isn't that an apple juice opener? lol.

That's what we use to open up our cans of liquids.

DH the navy vet calls it a church key. I assumed it is used to open the doors of the *ahem* liquid gold church that he and his buddies attended long agol.

It opened bottles on the round end an opens cans of liquid on the pointed end. Beer an coke cans back in the day before the pull tab. Canned milk, tomato juice an other stuff now. We open our home canned foods with the round end to.

Maybe this has something to do with the name...

One of my wife's co-workers let her fu-fu dog lick her plates until she went horse back riding with my wife and the first thing her fu-fu dog did was to eat a horse tur....
well you know what I mean.

I guess that explains why the dogs just aren't hungry after they play in the pasture; and they'd Hoover up all the chicken poo out of the wheelbarrow if I'd let them. That high nitrogen poo can't be healthy.

Hahaha, check out monk-breweries...I've heard that that's where the church-key term came from.

As far as dogs licking plates, my mom was a clean freak yet I grew up being told that a dog's mouth was cleaner than antiseptic and had healing properties, which I thought was so cool. So as a young kid I couldn't understand why my mom was horrified when she finally discovered that me and my favorite neighborhood curs had been sharing my lollypops and ice cream cones for ages.

Even though over time I (pretty much) quit letting dogs lick kitchenware of any kind, sometimes I slip.

when our dogs were younger they got to lick the dishes before we turned them on, lol
