Doggy Kisses: Cute or Creepy?

Doggy Kisses: Cute or Creepy?
18 posted on January 18, 2010

POSTED IN: Blog Posts, Cute or Creepy?

I know there are dog lovers out there who give their dogs kisses every day and think nothing of it. In fact, you may even prefer your canine companionship to your fellow humans. Then there are those of you who, like me, throw up a little in their mouth whenever you see someone kissing their dog on the mouth.

My rule of thumb is never let anything kiss you on the lips that licks its own butt. But hey, that’s just me. I’m kinda silly about stuff like that.

What do you think? Doggy Kisses…Cute or Creepy?

    I am always raising my voice at my wife for kissing the dogs. She’s a vet, she loves animals, I know. I love animals too. I just don’t want to make out with them. And I don’t really want to kiss my wife after she’s been kissing a dog either!

    She doesn’t really let them lick her face though. You know that saying about how a dog has a cleaner mouth than you, because of the enzymes and stuff he has in his mouth? I asked her about that and she said it’s a stupid lie. Dogs eat feces and dead things. Their mouths are dirty.

    BJ – You said you wouldn’t kiss anything that kissed its own butt “more than once a day”…so if it only kissed its butt just one time a day you would kiss it? ;-)

    Creepy… I don’t even care that much about the germs. It’s idea of kissing a dog. I guess I’m just more selecting with my kisses than that.

    Not on the face…one of my friends thought it was cute when her kids gave doggy kisses( they would lick you on the cheek) When they did it to me, I didn’t like it at all…not cute. Totally gross.

    what I don’t get is people who are grossed out by 2 dudes kissing, but aren’t grossed out by human & dog/animal kissing. I think the whole dog kissing thing is disgusting. Why not lick the inside of a toilet bowl? Eww!

    I agree completely with you “never let anything kiss you on the lips that licks its own butt.” People often say “don’t touch that you dont know where it’s been.” In actual fact, with dogs, you DO know where it’s been. YUCK.

    I won’t let my dog kiss me in the lips… but I’ll let her lick my face. In my defense I wash my face immediately, sometimes.

    #15 That’s worse than doggy kisses.

    As a person who uses “dogkisser” as their “handle” – I believe that dogkisses are veritably lifesaving. Although I do admit that I try to have my dogs lick something in between something like their ass and my face. Sort of like fancy restaurants serve gelato in between very full of taste courses to cleanse our palates.

    Certainly to live life as a dogkisser is a lifestyle choice not chosen by everyone, but for those who like it, they like it a lot.

    haha! I only have 4 dogs at the moment! In my area of the world there is no restriction on how many dogs you can own – only your income dictates how many is reasonable, and at this point in my life 4 is a good number – although 2 are small and 2 are large – so really it’s more like I have the equivalent of 2.75 or 3 dogs. My blog goes back to 2003 though and my numbers have gone up and down a bit over that time.

    I notice that your blog seems to be a faith based blog, so I thought that maybe you might feel a little bit more inclined towards the unconditional love that a dog kiss offers after you watch a fabulous video called “GoD and DoGs” by Wendy Francisco at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H17edn_RZoY if you want to go there. It’s quite awesome. She’s also got a website at http://wendyfrancisco.com/

    Joan… you are sounding like a cat person. It’s creeping me out.

    On the other hand, Sachi, my little 7 lb. ninja warrior princess is the greatest dog ever. She can lick my face. Like twice. Not for a half hour or anything. It’s all good.

    I am definitely not a cat person. Cats to me are just cheap dog toys that every once in a while become expensive dog toys :)

    Everyone has a different calling in life, Brad – just because you don’t understand it doesn’t make it creepy, thank dog that everyone doesn’t think like you (or me) because the world would be a very boring place. As the saying goes, it takes all kinds to make a world. And it needs the kinds of people who are not repulsed by the idea of sentient beings who are not human sharing affection (and I mean that in a non-creepy, completely non-sexual way of course).

    I agree with you!- It is downright disgusting!- I have a poodle and pom/yorkie mix and they kiss each other all day long! and I mean they make a love fest of it after they have both cleaned each others genitals and their faces. Need I mention after they have both been out in the yard eating god knows what! I love them both dearly but neither of my dogs are allowed to kiss me. They lick my hands all the time as a way of saying thank you and I allow that but I immediately wash them afterwards. Some people are just nasty and disgusting! YUCK!!
