dog spit is healthy! no really

[Guest guest]

I am not saying this about anyone here, of course, but the anti-dog

propaganda was started by crypto-pro-felinists. All I can say is I

have been pushing the limits of good sense when it comes to dog saliva

ever since she was about 6 mos old, she's about 3 now. I haven't had

any mystery infections or stomach upsets and my allergies are to

pollen. The vet said not to let her lick my spoon, or something and I

said, " oh no " , but soon after that I would let her lick some food of

my finger and occasionally go back to eating with the same hand.

If anyone repeats this off list I will deny it!

Some dogs eat ---stuff-- if my dog did, I would get a new dog, I

think. Sasha doesn't get outside enough on the loose to pick up

germs. I think....and she's never had fleas.

Possibly a whippet. I have a whippet. He's blue/grey with the sweetest

nature. Most loved activity of his is lounging on my bed under the covers,

interspersed with racing round the backyard at high speed. When he corners,

his side is almost flat to the ground. At the doggy park he can run rings

around (literally) german shepherds / labradors etc who are running at top

speed. Truly amazing to watch.

Hi Jane,

there are Italian Greyhounds and Whippets. Both have the look of

greyhounds, but are smaller. Greyhounds are called sight hounds they

are very visually alert and ready to chase things. I think the little

ones were bred for upper class pets. I think the Italian Greyhounds

are smaller. They are very cute little things.

Hi,

I have a friend who had a rescued grayhound and they made sure he got

to run like a maniac. They would take him out to this sort of rural

park and let him chase rabbits. I don't think he ever caught them,

but he lived to run.

Sasha likes to run too, she's has a blast and runs like a maniac even

though she only has one good back hip. I have to run her when it's

cool because she can get easily overheated. No nose. She has this

little bit of shepherd instinct she likes to try to herd me and nip

and my ankles to keep my from moving, etc, when we are out in an open

field.

She had another dog that was a lurcher. Maybe you know they are

specially bred half grayhounds used for sheepherding or sheep

guarding. The one she had died and she looked all over for another

one and had an adult dog shipped to her from the middle of the

country, she is here in California. She's the woman I know who is the

most AS like.
