Can I really?

Just made tuna pasta bake and divided into 5 dishes. DD will have one for tea and I will freeze the rest. Came upstairs to MN check emails, heard a noise downstairs, went down, dog slinking away licking his lips.

He has eaten a bit from one of the dishes which was near the edge of the work counter.

I have scraped a couple of spoonfuls off the top.

AIBU to feed it to DD for tea? (She does let the dog lick her face)

Fgs put it in the bin. Dogs lick their own arses on a regular basis you know!

If it is going to be cooked piping hot I would still serve it up. I hate dogs licking people's faces - and I love dogs. But it sounds as if DD will be used to any germs from dogs.

I'm sorry but it's eeww nasty that you're even considering it!

Quenelle · 23/03/2011 16:22

psiloveyou I had exactly the same thought

Personally I hate dog slobber anywhere, especially on kids' faces but I don't imagine it would do any harm once it's cooked piping hot. I couldn't serve it to my son though, but I couldn't bring myself to chuck it away. And what DH doesn't see...

MrsH75 · 23/03/2011 16:23

I wouldn't feed the dog chewed dinner one to DD, but it is pretty hard to stop a dog licking a toddler's face - at all - when they are at their height! My parents' and inlaws' dogs just do it to say hello, obviously we don't let them lick their faces repeatedly.

Mum did it and everyone is still here. Dog ran off with a steak whilst she was doing the vegetables, she retrieved it and added plenty of gravy to hide the holes.

The worst thing is knowing, not the actual eating, or what she don't know won't hurt her.

MarioandLuigi · 23/03/2011 16:23

I cant believe your actually asking!

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 23/03/2011 16:24

Freezers don't kill germs so don't do that.

Bin any that the dog has / may have slobbered on and stop being so tight!

Skinit · 23/03/2011 16:29

Get rid of the dogged-up one and then keep one for DD and have the others as emergency meals for use when you need a quick something or other.

compo · 23/03/2011 16:46

To me a quick somethig or other is making tuna pasta, takes 15 minutes max!

CheerfulYank · 23/03/2011 16:52

I wouldn't, but I won't judge you if you do. :)

frazzle26 · 23/03/2011 18:11

I don't know why you're even asking. Just chuck it away, it's only one portion FGS!! My rule is if I wouldn't eat it then I wouldn't expect anyone else to.

Why did you chuck it- you should have just fed it to the dog. I dunno. You've got to teach that mutt that he must finish what the started. Barbara Woodhouse will be turning in her grave!!

pinksmarties · 23/03/2011 19:03

I'm sure it wouldn't harm her but I think it's a matter of respect. You wouldn't like it if it was done to you. Do as you would be done by is my motto.

I wouldn't do it even though my dog is far cleaner than my DC and has never rimmed in her whole life. She just cleans her lady garden in a very genteel way....honestly.

'Tis one for 'The Moral Maze'.

bupcakesandcunting · 23/03/2011 19:16

Eugh you let your dog lick your daughter's face with the tongue it uses to lick it's arsehole?

I suppose letting your DD eat dog drool infused pasta is small potatoes then.

Wamster · 23/03/2011 19:22

That's not fair, I'm sorry but it's not. You can't control a dog's arse licking activity. No matter how hard you try. What can a person do? Set up a doggy-cam? When you walk through that door at the end of a hard day, you simply do not know what Fido's been up to-has been having pleasant dreams chasing rabbits or has he been licking his backside like there's no tomorrow? There's just no way of knowing.

Makingaminime · 23/03/2011 20:11

Ah its gone in the bin but I probably would have gone ahead with feeding the DD. Kids do all sorts of gross stuff so I don't see this as particularly high up the gross scale.

How's this for a gross story... when I was a kid and we were dirt poor thrifty, our dog ate anything and everything in sight. One morning he ate a term's worth of dinner money for 5 children that my Dad had counted out (in notes) and left out on the kitchen worktop. My parents didn't have the money to replace it so we had to wait a few days to pay... about 48 hours was all it took to be digested and reappear!

Don't worry they didn't give the shitcovered soiled money to the school. The bank replaced the notes after seeing photographic evidence They said they had seen that sort of thing before and not to bother trying to wash it
