Re: Bullets Dodged

I mean, it's a thing that most pet owners I know do IRL

Mouth to mouth, though? Seems a bit unpractical with most animals. Unless you have a lick-y dog, maybe.

Lots of white people love to let dogs lick into their mouths or press kisses directly on their dogs lips where I live *shrugs* The more money they have the more likely it is. I guess the health insurance can cover their deworming or whatever.

Oh, okay, fair enough. I'm not really a dog person. I was just imagining the face my cat would make.

da

It's definitely not a matter of money where I'm from. (But then, neither is health insurance.)

I kiss my pets on the nose or the forehead. It's never even occurred to me to kiss them on the lips. Oh, my fellow white people...

Nice casual racism there.

AYRT

We're talking about pressing a quick peck to their mouths, not French kissing, right? It seems to work fine for smaller dogs and cats since everyone is doing it. It always kinda grosses me out, but it also grosses me out when people do it with their babies, so my reaction is probably not normal and rooted in the fact that I never had any pets (or babies).
