True Love Is When....

***Carrie*** · 01-18-2005, 01:20 PM

You're dipping the knife into the jar of peanut butter, which you hardly ever eat, so you don't think about the jar's past life. As you're spreading this delectible goo over a few Ritz crackers and popping them into your mouth, being careful not to drop crumbs onto the keyboard, your eyes widen, eyebrows pop up and you suddenly remember something. Oh gee wiz! This is the jar that I've been double dipping into to fill the dogs' Kongs which never get washed out and get tongues, the stuff they indulged in in the way of coprophagy, dog hair and who knows what else in there?

After the initial shock wanes, you shrug your shoulders and keep on dipping the knife into the jar and munching down Ritz crackers. As you're grinding away, you're remembering about how efficient your antibody system really is and that you're going to stay healthy....except for the calories in the peanut butter.

What do you do that people without pets would be appalled by?

fireworksinjuly · 01-18-2005, 01:31 PM

See im like that!!
I honestly dont mind.
Its everyone else in the house that freaks out if you use the Dogs Peanutbutter for people and the people peanutbutter for the kongs. Im happy with buying one and sharing...my fiance and his mother both think its nasty.

Rip's Girl · 01-18-2005, 01:34 PM

LOL!! I do exactly the same thing.. I've actually started buying a different jar of peanut butter for people because they freak out when I give the dogs our peanut butter. I WASH those kongs. It's like letting the dog lick your dish clean before you put it in the dishwasher.. You still eat out of it after it's been washed, the slobber is loooong gone.. So what's the big deal? LOL.

Well, non-dog people actually find it revolting that my dog sleeps under my blankets with me. They also say it's gross that the dogs are allowed on the furniture, gross that the dogs sniff at the counters in the kitchen, and gross that we don't immediately go and disinfect our hands after we touch our dogs.
The most irritating to me, though : They find it revolting that our dogs like to give people happy licks, and if a dog (Dakota in particular) licks them, they will whack them on the nose!! I don't like my dogs licking either, but they have no excuse to do that to my dog for something as normal as a lick..

Whack them on the nose?!!! I'd whack them on their hands. (maybe their nose too!) How dare they? I'd be pissed. I wouldn't let them come near my dogs. I've never had someone whack my dogs.

I always wonder what people think if I don't know how they do it with their dogs in the way of letting the dogs lick the plates after dinner. Or if you have a bowl of ice cream, don't you just leave a little in there for the dogs when you're through? I have no problem with them licking my dishes. LOL.

And no problem with a little dog hair even though I like a clean house. I work very hard to keep it clean, but a little hair is nothing much.

And what you said about sniffing counters....Lyric is so tall now that he comes and watches me cook, just like he watches me put on my make-up or do my hair. He's not really pushy anymore. He just likes to watch. I shouldn't let him. It's not very good manners. But I'll peek at him... under my arm because he stands very close and the tip of his chin is partly on the counter and partly up against my pelvic bone... and his eyes are looking up. He's like a little kid wanting to see what's cooking. He looks so dang cute, I have a hard time disciplining him. LOL. No one else would probably like Dobergerms near the food, but I don't mind much.

Same here, ya lost me after "what people think"..

Hrm, probably the amount of hair in the house. Since we have two girls that shed like crazy, it gets piled up pretty quick. My parents think I'm nuts cause sometimes I let Sarge lick me on the face. He just keeps licking and licking. And when no one is home or watching, I let them lick the plate. My mom doesn't really like me doing it because she doesn't want them to get into a habit of thinking they get to lick the plate.

But who can resist their poochies face?

Barrett · 01-18-2005, 02:17 PM

We have one jar of peanut butter in the house and my husband shares it with Bailey. My husband lets Bailey lick icecream off of his spoon..a bite for you, a bite for me. LOL I'm not that friendly with Bailey germs but I do let her lick my bowl when I'm done as long as I'm not eatin choclate. I also let my dogs give me slobbery kisses right on my face, laugh when they pass gas but give my DH a dirty look when he does it, and let them sleep in my bed.

gaddylovesdogs · 01-18-2005, 05:08 PM

LOL

. I'm actually pretty careful about double-dipping when filling doggie toys because we don't buy seperate jars for the girls, so I usually spoon some into a bowl, then fill the kong. But I have shared ice cream with them, LOL!!

***Carrie*** · 01-18-2005, 05:42 PM

LOL, we are all alike in many ways. Ok...LOL! You're right. That was a most terrible sentence!!! A-h-h-h...that's about the time I needed a nap. What I meant was...if someone is visiting and I don't know how they do things with their dog, (if they have a dog)whether or not they let their dogs lick their plate....I still let my dogs lick the plate, but I do wonder what they think. Do they think, "how disgusting?" Or do they figure it's going in the dishwasher and will be cleaned well enough?

When we were kids, my brother and I would let our dogs lick the plate, which my Mom didn't mind, then we'd tease her and say, "we don't have to do the dishes. Look! They're all clean." And we'd proceed to pretend like we were putting them back in the cupboard. She'd get all flustered. LOL.

sheltiepups · 01-18-2005, 05:54 PM

Is washing my rug every day because the Kira decided that is where she wants to go to the bath room... my true love is getting up during the night to let them outside. Just so they can bark at the neighbors dog.

But on things people think are gross... Hmm they live in my room.. .they are not allowed to wonder the house with out one of us attached to the end of the leash… ahh they like to drink out of the toilet so I have to keep the lid down.. and they like to watch me do my hair.. that’s about it on the gross things.. hmm

gaddylovesdogs · 01-19-2005, 07:12 AM

I'm sure there are people out there who think it's gross that I'll sit down on the floor cuddling these big furry, 60 lb. animals, and once I get up I'm covered in dog hair....brush as much of it as possible off....then walk away. I'm sure people also think it's disgusting that Tippy sleeps right next to me, (on her own bed) and gets fur all over the rug, and I'm sure they think it's gross that I'll let them sit in my lap on car rides if they feel like it.

kjm · 01-19-2005, 07:31 AM

Yep, I'm like the rest of you. I don't mind doggie germs one bit. Especially my doggie's germs! LOL

cragarmom · 01-19-2005, 06:31 PM

Every time I go to the grocery store and buy the little dog food pouches or treats, there is one cashier that always asks me if I want the dog stuff separate. My usual reply is, "look, my dog wakes me up every morning by licking my entire face, including my ears and nose. I don't mind dog food in the same bag as my people food".

Other than that, Cragar licks off my ice cream spoons (or cones), I'll hold a treat between my teeth and he'll take it, and we also have a "double-dipped" peanut butter jar. In fact, last night I was eating dinner, and I offered him a french fry. He sniffed it, licked it, then decided he didn't want it. I ate it anyway.

People germs are worse than puppy germs!!!

Very true, dog's have one of the cleanest mouths

sunny98 · 01-19-2005, 10:51 PM

I have been known to share ice cream with Sunny. I don't double dip in the peanut jar unless I forget, which I do sometimes.

Sunny does sleep in bed with me and my boyfriend and loves to give my bro and bf lots of kisses. For some reason she doesn't give me many. When she was younger she use to like to sneak up on the counter. One time I had made an entire crock pot of stew, after we ate I put the left overs on the counter to cool and my ex and I went to the store, came home and Sunny had taken 4 of the 6 containers and eaten the contents.

The other time she really amazed me. I had made some chocolate muffins and they were cooling on the counter. Ex and I were in the bedroom when all the sudden I said where is Sunny? Well the good dog that she is had gotten her nose and front paws on the counter and eaten the top, and only the top, of 4 muffins and never even moved the pan at all! LOL

Erin, Sunny and the gang
