I was at the dog park and a guy knelt down and let my dog lick all over his face and mouth and he didn't even try to close his own mouth it was GROSS - in my opinion. Is this guy crazy, or do some people actually enjoy mouth-to-mouth with their pooch? Do you ever put something in your mouth that your dog licked - such as a spoon or ice cream cone?

I detect a definite bias here towards MY dogs as opposed to those OTHER people's dogs. Simply hilarious to me! LOL

No, there is NO way I am going to let an animal lick near my mouth. I wash my hands after petting them before I eat or touch food. That is simply nasty and a good way to catch disease. I fear we will catch those people who do becoming more likely to do what that nasty news story talked about if they keep that sort of thing up. LMAO God, just think of what they lick! Would YOU lick that? Then bro and sis, you are kinky indeed, and more fearless than is good healthwise.

I would say he is crazy, sharing popcicles with your per is great but letting someones elses pet in your mouth no way! Heck I would do that with my own dogs!

Me and Kali share popcicles (sp?) but that's it. My dogs don't really give kisses. It's a reward for myself whenever I get them. I usually have to bribe Maddie for a kiss and Kali just does it on her own. I love kisses in the face.

I'll let my dog or my friends dog lick my face, but not some random persons dog. And I usually avoid letting them get too close to my mouth.

I wouldn't mind so much if one of my dogs wouldn't eat poop. Other than that, I don't let them lick my mouth (yuck), but my face is OK.

Well, Momma always said not to let them lick your mouth b/c they lick their rears... and that was enough to keep me from letting them lick to close. I know some ppl who won't let them lick at all; however, I don't mind as long as they don't get too hyper and a couple kisses on the cheek is fine- but the mouth is off limits!
