How Many of You Let Your Pets Lick the Dishes?

Chunk (Can you tell why we nicknamed her that?) loves butter.

I'd have to guess from the movie "Goonies"

We used to have a cat that loved baked goods. He wasn't "allowed" on the counters, but you know cats - when you aren't there, there are no rules! Our microwave doubled as a bread box, but we had to unload it every time we wanted to use it, so that didn't work really well. One time I forgot to stick everything back in before I left for the day. When I got home, there was a loaf of bread, a bag of kaiser rolls, and a package of English muffins on the floor. All had been torn open, and the cat had taken at least one bite out of every roll and muffin!

Pretty much. She was 27lbs at 8weeks old. She is now 103lb and the vet says she is pretty much all muscle. You can lift the skin on her neck up at least 6inches.

This was the day we got her:


Reminds me of the Truffle Shuffle.

LOL! Sadie eats chicken poop, cat poop, bugs, dogfood, and all other stuff in the category "Gross!" and my dad, being his typical weird self, lets Sadie eat off his fork, and then he eats off that fork. Now that does concern me!

Must be related to my husband, now that my father in law lives with us he has stopped this behavior well only if dad is in the room. He too let's the dog lick all over his face

he is of the mind set that the dog's mouth is cleaner than ours.

As a kid I remember seeing the neighbor's English setter 'grooming' himself. I was amazed, spellbound, and horrified --- didn't think such a thing was possible. Maybe I've been scarred, but old Rex nor no other dog is licking my face. Sorry, no way - that image is burned into my brain.

A grandma at work was freaking... literally... last week because her 12 month old grandson had eaten doggie poo that the parents' little dog had dragged in. Poor woman was telling everyone and just agonizing over the horror of it. And her daughter ( whom we all know) had begged mom not to mention it to anyone because we'd think she is a terrible mom. ROFL... yeah right... mom has a spouse, two little dogs and a pair of 12 month old twins she went through h*ll to deliver and we are going to think she's a bad mom? No, we are just chuckling at grandmom-- who is still totally horrified and traumatized that her grandson ate dog poop.

I fully agree with Sour. I used to raise dogs and I loved them all BUT, I didn't let them lick me on the mouth, and when I kissed them it was the top of their muzzle or head. NEVER would I allow them to eat off a dish. My uncle however used to share his ice cream cone with his dog, they would alternate licking it -

. I'm well aware of what dogs (especially males) do to themselves, and worse yet, I noticed one of my dogs had brown teeth and before I could decide that horrible health problem he had, the smell told me all I needed to know. OMG I still gag about that, and he passed away in 1989. Was not one of my pleasant memories about him.

We only had manual dishwashers - the women folk-. If a dog managed to lick anything on someone's plate - he would NOT be rewarded by allowing him to finish. I do believe my mom used to throw the dishes out if dog lips touched them. My chicken friend shares food with her house chickens - they take turns eating off the place, and sometimes snatching food from her mouth before she gets to chew. When I have a fit over it (hey they do eat dog poo, worms, bugs, ick) she acts disgusted with ME, for crying out loud.

Not all the grease just a spoonful or two mixed in with the dog food. Rebel do your dog eat ANYTHING food related? Mine even eats pickles. No wonder there is only one letter difference between pug and pig.

OldGal used to use soap on my cast iron. I just rinse it off with boiling water, and than put it on the stove at low heat to dry.

I leave it on the stove an wipe it out while still hot. Once with a dry rag, then again with a wet one. Lots of steam but it is clean an dry an still non stick. Stored in the oven so even if I don't use that pan for a while it will get heated every day an not go rancid.

We do wash the one we cook gravy an cornbread in though cause it is the one pan that is cold when food is in it.

But don't let the dogs clean the cast iron. Something in their saliva seems to break down the seasoning.

Ask me how I know
