My dogs done this.

Some folk saw "ewwww", some folk say "awwww".

What camp are you in?

I'm in the indulgent awww camp because I like seeing my little dog grin.

My baby cousin was on the floor having a tug of war with my mums lil dog. They both had a toy camel in their mouths and were nose to nose growling.

I said "Awwww" - my pal said "eeeek! - Germs! Plague! Death"

― Rumpie, Wednesday, 7 September 2005 06:00 (twenty years ago)

I'm definitely "awwww!". This is partly because I find it very hard to stop the cat climbing onto and into my bed anyway, so it's pragmatic to be "awww!" about it.

yep i'm in the aww camp for bed. not for dishes though.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 06:13 (twenty years ago)

EW! Dogs belong outside.

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 06:16 (twenty years ago)

The cat isn't allowed on the dining table or most of the kitchen worktops, but he is allowed on the sink and the draining-board to eat leftovers. Again, this started out as pragmatism but has become normal practice; we now leave leftovers on the draining-board deliberately for him to find.

Our little dog eats off his own dishes or out of our hands, but he sleeps in our bed. If we disturb him he does loud reproachful sighs in the dark. Mr estela used to say that when we got a dog it would have to live outside, but he was wrong.

― estela (estela), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 06:38 (twenty years ago)

Now she rarely eats out of our dishes. But we do let her on the bed sometimes. When Basiel died, we let her sleep on the bed at night but now she can only come on when we're reading/watching TV. After that she has to go off the bed. She has a tendency to push herself against you during sleep which resulted in me nearly toppling out, so I decided that sleeping on the bed was a no-no. :-)

I belonged to the 'ewww'camp for years and years but trying to keep an old stubborn basset out of the bed is really hard work, so pragmatism won in the end :-)

Dogs on the bed = awwwwwww, especially if they give you that adorably puppy-eyed "I know I'm doing something naughty, but I'll wag my tail so cutely that you let me stay anyway!" look.

Dogs licking plates = why not? Their mouths are cleaner than ours. It's not as if you're not going to wash them afterwards anyway.

(Aw, I miss having a dog.)

Their mouths are cleaner than ours.

All that ball and arse licking must be better than toothpaste.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 07:50 (twenty years ago)

I'm not as sentimental about dogs but my cats go wherever they please, and licking our plates is extremely common. Thank god for dishwashers.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 14:37 (twenty years ago)

(Aw, I miss having a dog.)

ditto.

i've always let the dog sleep on the bed, they're part of the family.

there should be more sexy discussion of dogs and cats licking your dishes in your bed.

― petesmith (plsmith), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 14:45 (twenty years ago)

I finished, then I stole the dog.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

aww. definitely. fuck it, you're going to wash the dishes anyway.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 14:52 (twenty years ago)

You keep dishes in your bed? Don't be a pig. If you put them back where they belong, dogs won't be able to lick them. Additionally, this is a good way to get worms. My friend's baby just had to go on worm pills after the horrified mom pulled a worm out of her ass. Previously, they had thought, "how cute" it is that she plays with the dog and the dog's toys, etc. putting everything in her mouth and "aw, germs, if you're going to live you're going to get a little dirty, har, har!"

i let my cat Sindy sleep with me. she loves me and my room, and it makes her a happy little fuzzball. we dont let our cats eat on the table. though our male cat Skittles tries to ignore this rule.

DOGS LICK THEIR BALLS! AFTER OTHER DOGS HAVE LICKED THEIR BALLS! SERIOUSLY PEOPLE, I KNOW YOU HAVE DISHWASHERS BUT COME ON THERE'S STILL OCCASIONALLY A BIT OF STUBBORN HARDENED PROCESSED PEA STUCK TO THE PLATE! DO YOU WANT TO RISK EATING STUBBORN HARDENED ESSENCE OF DOG BALL?

Fucking hell I love dogs but fucking hell there's NOTHING aaawww about licking a dog's balls by proxi.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)

Wow.

So, you're saying you want to do this in an unmediated fashion?

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 23:00 (twenty years ago)

My dog no longer has balls so he is finding these allegations a bit hurtful and insensitive.

― estela (estela), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 23:06 (twenty years ago)

Dogs on beds is great! Granted, I grew up with smallish dogs, which is kind of essential for letting them up on anything at all -- but I don't think we ever dreamed of not-letting them up on beds, at least while they were clean. My preferred method of being woken up still = cute little doggy hopping up on the bed, nosing and licking face -- it's very easy to get up when there's an adorable little creature who's clearly excited about your company.

Dogs licking plates: not sure I'd ever leave plates anywhere that dogs could get at them.

Poor fucking dog tbh. I'm sure these allegations are less hurtful than having his balls cut off.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 23:27 (twenty years ago)

I need to go to sleep. No more talking about dog's ball for me.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 23:28 (twenty years ago)

You know when the dog curls up on the bed and pretends not to hear their name when you want to kick them off? gorgeous...
i never grew up with dogs, but i've become a convert. me and my puppy are all kissy, licky, sleepy ,er...ok, that looks creepy.

it's been a few years since i lived with my family and had to worry about The Monster Wot Hornks Potato Chips

cats and dogs are gonna sleep on the bed with ya, that's just what they do. It's obnoxious when they push you outta bed, but sometimes you need that unconditional love and body warmth to remind you that you are loved no matter what kind of ass you've been during the day, or how much you were told you're no good. Yay for the doggie and kitty's who love us no matter what!

fourteen years pass...

About 3 in the morning, my youngest cat came into the bedroom acting playful. I did my best to ignore her until her claw somehow ended up embedded in my lower lip, drawing blood.
