Can you kiss your dog's lips?

Can you kiss your dog's lips? No - because they don't have lips. They have flews.

Have you heard that a dog's mouth is cleaner than your mouth? I say that all the time. I just discovered that it's an urban legend. It may not be true, but now I know that dog bacteria is species specific so you are less likely to catch something from your dog then your human friends. Yes, I know where my dog's mouth has been. Ewwwww! That's probably more than you an say for your human friends. So go ahead and kiss your dog. After all, they love us unconditionally. Don't we owe them the same loyalty? :[)

The Spiritual Lives of Dogs

Are dogs spiritual? Evidence says yes they are. The dog on the left looks like he's praying doesn't he? "Oh doggy universe, please provide enough toys and chewy bones for all of dogkind, especially my best friends, Abbey and Captain. rrrruff and amen."

Seriously, dogs are more open than people are. In that way they are like children. They don't have a belief system that holds them back. We can learn much from our dogs. Spend some time on their level. Get down on the floor and play with them and see things from their perspective. It's not all butts and snouts. Well... yeah... it is. :-)
